The seventh volume in our continuing overview of The Beatles' live career, highlighting their brief 1965 European tour and then movingonwards to America.

As always, we think these are (objectively) the most complete and (subjectively) the best sounding versions of these shows to date. Performance-wise, they're not so bad either. Of course, your mileage may vary, and some shows will always sound pretty dire.

Erratum: So it turns out that the last volume's Toronto Maple Leafs Garden segment was not what it seemed. "You Can't Do That," "All My Loving" and the intro to "She Loves You" are duplicated from the Seattle show a couple of weeks (and discs) earlier. On the other hand "She Loves You" itself is indeed from the Toronto show. Who knew?
