· "BEATLES 65" - The Beatles USA 1964

Beatles '65 is The Beatles' fifth Capitol release, but seventh American album. It was released in mono and stereo versions. Beatles '65 includes eight of the fourteen songs from Beatles for Sale (omitting "Eight Days a Week", "Words of Love", "Every Little Thing", "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party", "What You're Doing", and the "Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" medley, all of which showed up later in Beatles VI). It picked up "I'll Be Back" from the UK A Hard Day's Night and also includes the single "I Feel Fine"/"She's a Woman". These latter two songs were remixed into "duophonic" [fake] stereo and drenched in reverb by Capitol Records' executive Dave Dexter, Jr. to cover up the use of the mono mixes sent from England. The mono versions of both "I Feel Fine" and "She's A Woman" were also remixed with added echo and reverb for the single and mono album release. The stereo version of "Mr. Moonlight" has a longer fadeout than the UK versions. In the US the album was a blockbuster hit, and jumped from number 98 straight to number 1, making the biggest jump to the top position in the history of the Billboard Album Charts up to that time. It remained at number 1 for nine straight weeks, starting on 9 January 1965. In what may be testament to the overwhelming market appeal of the Beatles, several albums were released and promoted in America during 1965 sporting a similar title. These included Sinatra '65 by Frank Sinatra and Ellington '65 by Duke Ellington on Reprise Records, Trio '65 by jazz pianist Bill Evans on Verve Records, and Brasil '65 by Sérgio Mendes on the Beatles' own Capitol label. This album was also issued in Germany on the Odeon label. On 16 November 2004, this album was released on CD for the first time as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set.
