The Beatles 1962-1966

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Album infobox 1962-1966 (or the Red Album) is a compilation of The Beatles' greatest hits from 1962 to 1966. It was released with 1967-1970 (or the Blue Album), a compilation of their greatest hits from 1967 to 1970.

The Beatles themselves participated in selecting the songs for inclusion, as well as the colours and pictures. Even though the group had had success with cover versions of songs, most notably with "Twist and Shout," which made #2 on the Billboard charts, only songs composed by the Beatles themselves were included. Songs performed by the Beatles as solo artists were also considered for inclusion, but like the cover songs, limited space resulted in this idea having to be abandoned.
