This is a rare Japanese import CD of the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl. Originally released on vinyl in 1977, it captures the very essence of Beatlemania. The screams of the (mainly) girls add lots of atmosphere and excitement. The sound quality on my top end hi-fi is excellent with plenty of bass and treble to cut through the mayhem of adoring and screaming fans! To be honest, none of the live tracks on the Anthology Series really capture the madness of Beatlemania in the way that this CD does. The performances come from 2 concerts in 1964 and 1965. The actual product is a replica of the original LP. It is a very high quality Japanese cardboard case which looks very durable. It also comes with a fold out sheet of lyrics and the CD is housed in a paper sleeve with pictures of screaming girls and replica signatures of the Beatles. Additionally you get 4 replica tickets for the Hollywood Bowl concerts. The printing and quality of materials is superior to European/American releases. The Japanese lead the world when it comes producing replica CD's (just look at the Beatles in Mono release-it was Made in Japan!)
This is a very cool CD as it has never been officially released in this country or any Western country. It is only avaliable in Japan and comes with an obi strip. I don't believe it will ever be released in the UK as the living Beatles must feel that the Anthology series covers their "live repertoire" adequately.
Who knows how many have been made-probably not many! Buy it now would be my recommendation!
Crazily, it is the only album available which truly reflects possibly the gretaest pop phenomenon of the twentieth Century. Don't hesitate and don't throw away the obi strip!!

There is not much to add to the other reviewer's remarks. I bought this with his recommendation in mind, and was not disappointed. Whoever has made this CD (and I think it is fair to say that this CD has never been officially released in this country or any western country, OR any eastern country) has done an excellent job. The bass and treble DO cut through the jet-engine roar of the audience, even though the sound balance is necessarily poor at times (two guitars sharing the same track, vocals and bass sharing another, on the original tapes). The mastering seems very good, and quite loud, especially compared to the unofficial mid-nineties CD of the two complete shows (still available as AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL), which comes from passable rough mixes of the original three-track (yes, really!) tapes, but now sounds very feeble in terms of recording levels.
Back in the later nineties, after the 'Anthology' project, Ringo promised that "the 'Get Back' album and the Hollywood Bowl" would be be attended to next. Well, 'Let It Be - Naked' (not exactly the 'Get Back' album) DID follow, but nothing came of 'At the Hollywood Bowl', perhaps the only chart-topping album not to be found on CD.
This is an album that I have wanted to have on CD for years. It now can sit proudly with my other Beatles CDs. It is not going to be a vital purchase for everyone, but for those, to whom it matters, PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE.

Not many live recordings around the the Fab Four and especially not when they were at their most popular. Originally came out on vinyl in 1977 and remastered from the 2 concerts at The Hollywood Bowl in 1964/5 from 3! track masters that Capitol had recorded, trying to get a feel of a live concert. This was rejected at the time as the quality was not good. Years later, George Martin and Geoff Emerick decided to try and salvage enough material to give a good representation of them in concert. Well, it's a bit rough, and there's a lot of screaming, but it gives a pretty good idea of a Beatles concert. Made in Japan the sleeve quality is first class and gatefold. If you've really been looking for a good early live perfomance, this is it!

Great fun -
but why does it not have the same soundquality as "Baby's in Black" released on the single "Real Love"? Otherwise this shows the band in full force!
