1967-1970 was the second of the simultaneously released double album Beatles compilations. Covering what many consider to be the group’s most creative period, it outsold the earlier period album. (US:1 UK:2)

“Despite producing some of the best pop music in the previous years, and were well on their way to becoming studio geniuses on the last compilation, it was in the years 1967 to 1970 that this band became the revered the geniuses that they are now.”

“It’s easy to say that the Red and Blue albums were a cheap marketing scheme to cash in on The Beatles’ name, released three years after the group’s demise. But because they were the first official releases I consider them to be their best compilations.”

1967-1970 is a great collection of the later hits of The Beatles. All the big hits are here as well as some not as well known songs, so it's very enjoyable and an excellent representation of this era of their music.”

“This is only for people who don't want to spend the money on real Beatles albums, as it can never truly do justice to the Beatles catalogue. Of course, every song is great, but you are better off buying any one of their studio albums.”

“As everybody knows, there are no weak tracks on this album. All of them are worth five stars. You can’t overrate the Beatles. Their success didn't come for no reason. But don't buy this album! Save your money for their studio albums.”

“If you are interested in obtaining the Beatles most famous songs from this period I would suggest picking this up. However there are so many other album tracks that deserve to be here.”

“If you can’t afford to buy all the Beatles studio albums, then this is a good second choice. However, you will miss out on some great music, but will still get a lot of bang for your buck.”
