Lazy Tortoise

When I posted about the Purple Chick Beatles discs a couple of weeks ago, I didn't realize what the "Lazy Tortoise" series was. But now that I know, I've got a lot of downloading to do!

According to a site that has Purple Chick tracklistings:
"Companions to the Purple Chick Series, the Lazy Tortoise compilations pick up the non-studio items, such as live, interviews, and home demos."

Looks like there is (or will be) about 50 discs in this series, so that will bring this complete Beatles audio project to just over 200 discs. Amazing. And of course, I must have them all.

Between the "Strawberry Lane" and "Six Plus Three" sites, I've tracked down about half of the "Lazy Tortoise" discs so far.

To make things a bit easier, here are links to individual posts at those sites with the discs:

April to August 1963

December 1963

From London To Paris 1964

February to April 1964

June 7-10, 1964 - Hong Kong

July 1964

Australia-New Zealand Tour Diary 1964 (4 discs)

France 1965

From Rome to Blackpool 1965

September 1965 to March 1966

From Tokyo To London 1966 (2 discs)

September 1966 to February 1967

Interviews 1968 (5 discs)

Many many thanks to "Strawberry Lane" and "Six Plus Three"! And keep 'em coming!!!

Nice blog, and thanks for the links! There are currently 27 titles in the collection, with more to follow. But as you know, the tortoise by nature, is very lazy!

Cheers.
