In Praise of the Purple Chick (for Beatles geeks only)

As much as I love The Beatles, (and especially Abbey Road), I don't think I could take 83 CDs worth. I'd want someone to guide me to the best or most interesting stuff.

While there's no real "best of" of the Let It Be sessions (I think there's a 17-CD set that has most of the music without too much chatter or duplication - but it's still 17 CDs) - I find that I listen to the bonus material at the end of the A/B Road set most. It's the complete "rooftop concert", plus the "Get Back" (the original title) and "Let It Be" albums composed entirely of versions from the rolls that make up the set.

Good stuff, that.
