Beatles VI was the Beatles' sixth (or seventh, counting The Beatles' Story) American release on Capitol Records, although it was ninth album released into that market in less than one and a half years (the first American release was Vee-Jay's Introducing... The Beatles in January 1964).

Beatles VI includes the remaining six tracks left off Beatles '65 from Beatles for Sale. Also included was the B-side to the single "Ticket to Ride": "Yes It Is", as well as "Bad Boy", a track released only in the U.S. at this time, and three tracks from the forthcoming British release of Help!: "You Like Me Too Much", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and "Tell Me What You See". "Bad Boy" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzie" were recorded especially for this album. As with Beatles for Sale, the "Kansas City/"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" medley was originally listed only as "Kansas City". After the attorneys for Venice Music notified Capitol of its error, the record label was corrected, although the album cover was not. This album is available on CD as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 2 box set in both stereo and mono mixes.
