Help!

Another soundtrack album from the Beatles. Some great tunes here are "Help!", "Ticket to Ride", "Yesterday" (UK version) and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

Beatles VI

Six months had elapsed since the release of Beatles '65 in America, and the powers that were at Capitol Records recognized that some new product was needed, especially as the group was about to tour the United States. The result was Beatles VI, using the remaining tracks off of the British-released Beatles for Sale album (going all the way back to the fall of the previous year)

The Early Beatles

Capturing moments from two years earlier -- encompasses 11 of the most unabashedly joyous examples of music-making that anyone had ever heard. Any similarity between The Early Beatles and Parlophone's Please Please Me album or VeeJay's Introducing...the Beatles is not only understandable but unavoidable, as all three albums were constructed from essentially the same core body of songs.

Beatles '65

The Beatles released their latest official long-player, Beatles for Sale, in England on December 4 of 1964, capping a year of the most extraordinary activity ever seen on the part of a performing group. Meanwhile, back in the U.S. Capitol Record released this variation of the same album omitting several songs and replacing them with others.

The Beatles' Story

Fans seemed to want anything by the Beatles on record in 1964, and toward the end of that remarkable year, Capitol Records responded with this two-LP documentary record, which contained almost no previously unavailable Beatles music (the exception was 48 seconds of "Twist And Shout" recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl on August 23, 1964). What it did contain was a biographical narration ("It started in Liverpool, England...") written and spoken by disk jockeys over symphonic versions of Beatles music. Fans screamed and cried and tried to explain themselves, crowds roared, and there were excerpts from Beatles' press conferences.

A Hard Day's Night

A Hard Day's Night was the first Beatles album of all-original material. While showcasing the development of the band's songwriting talents, the album sticks to the basic rock and roll instrumentation and song format. Many of the most important rock bands to emerge in the latter half of the '60s came into being because of this album's irresistible vibrancy.

The Beatles' Second Album

Unlike the contemporaneous British Beatles albums, The Beatles' Second Album is composed exclusively of uptempo numbers, and for this reason is a favorite of some Beatles aficionados and rock critics. This album stands as probably best pure rock & roll album ever issued of the group's music.
