Beatles '65 is the sixth studio album released in the US by British rock band The Beatles, originally released in December 1964 via Capitol Records.
Beatles '65 was released as the North American alternative to Beatles For Sale and was the band's fifth studio album culled by Capitol Records in the US from the Beatles' EMI releases.
Beatles '65 includes eight of the fourteen songs from Beatles For Sale. It also includes "I'll Be Back", which was cut from the US version of the Hard Day's Night album, and both sides of the single "I Feel Fine" / "She's a Woman". Other than "I'll Be Back", which was recorded on 1 June 1964, The Beatles recorded all of its songs between 11 August and 26 October 1964 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London.
Beatles '65 jumped from number 98 straight to number 1, making the biggest jump to the top position in the history of the US Billboard album charts up to that time. It remained at number 1 for nine straight weeks from 9 January 1965. The album was the top selling non-soundtrack LP based on Billboard's year-end chart for 1965.
Using the original 1964 mono master, new lacquers have been cut all-analogue by Kevin Reeves at Nashville’s East Iris Studios. By constantly referring to the original first pressing, the album is faithful to the original release while also enabling more musical information to be heard than was possible before. Featuring faithfully replicated artwork and a new four-panel insert with essay by American Beatles historian, Bruce Spizer. 180gram audiophile pressing.
By 1964 The Beatles had conquered the UK, Europe and other parts of the world, but the US was still uncharted territory. History shows that on February 9th 1964 they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and suddenly the world changed. Watched by over 73 million people, the show was to launch Beatlemania in the USA and led to their first record-breaking tour in August of the same year.
Thus started one of the greatest stories in music history and a run of albums that has never been rivalled: 5 albums released between January and December 1964. Because they were so far behind the rest of the world, Capitol execs decided to release their own versions of albums that changed track lists, added singles, left some out, etc and for which they often created different mono mixes to those supplied by Abbey Road.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this incredible year, the original US albums are to be reissued, all released in 1964 and early 1965, using the original master tapes, cutting them on the original lathe used by Capitol Studios at the time (now housed in Nashville).
This is the first time since the 1980’s that these albums have been released on vinyl using the US masters as cut for the original albums in 1964/65.
This album is a 2024 reissue in mono on 180 gram audiophile black vinyl housed in single pocket sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, printed insert and plain polylined inner sleeve, pressed in France via Apple and Capitol Records.
