About
From Wikipedia:
Released in December 1964, Beatles ’65 is the Beatles’ fifth album issued by Capitol Records, but their seventh American album. The LP was also issued in Germany on the Odeon label.
In 2004, Beatles ’65 was issued on CD for the first time as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set (catalogue number CDP 7243 8 66874 2 5). In 2014, the album was released on CD again, individually and included in the Beatles boxed set The U.S. Albums.
Music
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 were issued later on Beatles VI). It also includes “I’ll Be Back” from the UK A Hard Day’s Night album and the single “I Feel Fine”/”She’s a Woman”. These latter two songs were issued in “duophonic” stereo and included added 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.
Two of the three songs written by Carl Perkins and recorded by the Beatles appear on this album.
Reception
In the US the album was a blockbuster hit, and jumped from No. 98 straight to No. 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 one for nine straight weeks from 9 January 1965. Beatles ’65 was the top selling non-soundtrack album based on Billboard’s year end chart for 1965.
In what may be testament to the 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.
