THE BEATLES 1962-1966: Originally released in 1973, the classic ‘Red’ double album compilation gathers most of The Beatles hits covering the years 1962-1966 including singles not on studio records.

Finally reissued on 180-gram audiophile-quality vinyl.  Brand new, factory sealed - never opened or played.  Small cut/black mark across barcode on back of LP jacket.

The Red (1962-1966) album was compiled and released in the spring of 1973, a year when the legend of The Beatles was even bigger than it had been when the group was together. Less greatest-hits collections than surveys of The Beatles' high points, the double album became essential introductions for fans who came aboard after The Beatles broke up.

The Beatles had never had a career spanning Best-Of or Greatest Hits - in a very real senses all of their LPs were Greatest Hits albums. They had more hit singles that could fit on even a double album, and to complicate things, some of the group's most important songs - "A Day In The Life," "The Fool On The Hill" and in England even "Yesterday" - were not released as singles.

The Red album had to tell The Beatles' story in limited time, necessarily leaving out many big songs while conveying a sense of the whole history of the group. The collection does a superb job of condensing a rich and complicated musical journey into two discs that move easily through a range of styles.

The Red album gathers most of The Beatles early hits from the band's formative yet trailblazing years 1962-1966 and covers material off of the albums Please Please Me through to Revolver.
