The Beatles – Beatles VI is a snapshot of the band's energetic mid-1960s sound, bringing together melodic pop, close harmonies and spirited rock ’n’ roll. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr helped reshape popular music, and this album captures their blend of memorable songwriting and affection for American rhythm and blues.

Album background & highlights

Released by Capitol in 1965 for the North American market, Beatles VI reflects the era when Beatles albums in North America differed from their British counterparts. Highlights include the bright harmonies of “Eight Days a Week,” George Harrison's “You Like Me Too Much,” and the punchy Larry Williams cover “Bad Boy.” These selections showcase the band's range without providing a complete track listing.
