Biography 45. Discography Comments A good compilation but the quality isn't too good. The Washington and Paris shows are in in b&w and Shea Stadium is the 'official' version in which the sound that has been overdubbed onto the film and therefore isn't from the live show. The sound for some of Shea tracks are taken from the recordings of the Hollywood Bowl concerts that Capitol did when The Beatles played there on the 29th and 30th August 1965. What is particularly bad is that 'Act Naturally' is the official studio track with screams overdubbed onto it to (try to) make it sound live. Budokan 1966 is the afternoon show that was recorded on the 1st July 1966. Whilst it is nice having a 'Special Features' section, it is a shame that its all written in Japanese!
