The Beatles - Live: Conquering America, February - June 1964

Label: Purple Chick, PC-161/62

The third volume in our overview of The Beatles' live career: their first U.S. visit and back to begin their first world tour - albeit with Jimmy Nicol subbing for Ringo from 4-13 June. Not that you can hear him very well on any of the surviving recordings.

Although we compiled this series, as always, from the best sources we could find, please don't assume we just lifted the audio. Everything has been cleaned up, speed corrected and equalized where necessary, although we always shy away from noise reduction. Unfortunately the quality still varies from dire to delightful, but that's part of the appeal.

Purple Chick discs are fan created and NEVER FOR SALE! If you buy them, that means somebody sold what they got for free.
