“Beatles '65” is the Beatles' fifth album issued by
Capitol Records, and their seventh American album. It was issued in December
1964. The LP was also issued in Germany on the Odeon label.
“Beatles '65” includes eight of the fourteen songs from “Beatles for Sale”.

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. Two of the three songs written by Carl Perkins and recorded by the Beatles appear on this album. In the United States, “Beatles '65” 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 from 9 January 1965.
