The Purple Chick Series - 2007

Just last night a friend and I were talking about the awesome Purple Chick bootleg sets that have been coming out over the last few months. For those of you who don’t know, or aren’t into the bootleg scene, these are deluxe editions of the Beatles albums in both stereo and mono format (where available) and also includes a disc of the most complete session/studio takes from those albums. These sets are among the most impressive that I have seen come out… period.
They have been releasing these deluxe albums sets chronologically, and they have forced me to go back and relisten to these early albums, which I often overlook. I have been able to reexamine them, and hear them again for the very first time. It has been a great, much to my delight. I have almost forgotten how great these early pop/love songs are. These sets had led my friend and I to a discussion about the inevitable–our favorite Beatle albums. Can you pick a favorite album? I’m not sure that I can…
