1964 was the year that the U.S. first fell head-over-heels for The Beatles, with an unprecedented run of albums
and singles topping the charts and going on to sell millions of copies. But these albums are not simply replicas of
the 1963 and 1964 albums released by Parlophone in the U.K. and rest of world. Seeing a different opportunity,
Capitol Records and United Artists compiled these albums for U.S. release between January 1964 and March
1965.
To celebrate the momentous year when Beatlemania exploded across the U.S., seven Beatles albums are
collected for a spectacular new 8-LP vinyl box set. Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s
Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2-LP); Beatles ’65; and The
Early Beatles all feature faithfully replicated artwork and new four-panel inserts with essays written by American
Beatles historian and author Bruce Spizer. The albums’ new vinyl lacquers were cut by Kevin Reeves at
Nashville’s East Iris Studios with constant reference to the original vinyl first pressings to ensure they are faithful
to the original release, while also enabling more musical information to be heard than was possible before. 180-
gram audiophile pressing. The Beatles’ Story 2LP is exclusive to the box set.
