The Beatles: part 2

Hey Jude: (1970)
OK, the official Beatles albums are out of the way, so here are these... Hey Jude is one of many Beatles albums that collected odds and ends, and fashioned them into a release. Hey Jude is a fine compilation, with the key tracks for me being Don't Let Me Down, and Paperback Writer. 

The Beatles / 1967-1970: (1973)
Another killer compilation collecting singles, and highlights from the illustrious Beatles' career.

Rock'N'Roll Music: (1976)
Another compilation of tunes spanning their career. Only this time with hideous artwork. Of this artwork Lennon said it, "looks like a Monkees reject."

Live! at The Star Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962: (1977)
There aren't many live Beatles albums, mainly because they quit performing live right as the technology to capture live shows in a clean way was coming around. That said, the fidelity of this album is alright. It definitely captures the energy in the room during these performances.

The Beatles at The Hollywood Bowl: (1977)
This live album contains two live performances The Beatles did at The Hollywood Bowl, one from '64, the other from '65. George Martin oversaw the recording so it's as good as it could be at the time. And in fact, the fidelity is quite good.
