A Collection of Beatles Oldies (subtitled "But Goldies!") is a compilation album featuring a selection of songs by the Beatles recorded between 1963 and 1966. The album was released in the UK, but not in the US.
The release of this album was the result of Parlophone not having any new material to release by the Beatles at the end of 1966 in the same manner of the previous three years format of two albums per year. The track "Bad Boy" had never been released by the Beatles in the United Kingdom before, but had already been released in the United States on the Capitol album Beatles VI.
The Cover of this album contributed to the "Paul is Dead" hoax as the road shown on the cover seems to lead into the head of the man sitting on the cover.
