Beatles '65 is the The Beatles' fourth Capitol release, but sixth American album. Beatles '65 includes most of the songs from Beatles for Sale, but deleting "Eight Days a Week", "Words of Love", "Every Little Thing", "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party", "What You're Doing", and the "Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" medley, which would show up later in Beatles VI. It picked up "I'll Be Back" from A Hard Day's Night and includes the single "I Feel Fine" / "She's A Woman". These two latter songs were remixed into "duophonic" [fake] stereo and drenched in echo by Capitol Records' executive Dave Dexter, Jr. to cover up the use of the mono mixes sent from England.[1]

In what may be testament to the overwhelming market appeal of the Liverpudlian quartet, several albums were released and promoted in America during 1965 sporting a similar title. These included Sinatra '65 by Frank Sinatra and Ellington '65 by Duke Ellington on Reprise Records, Trio '65 by jazz pianist Bill Evans on Verve Records, and Brasil '65 by Sergio Mendes on the Beatles' own Capitol label.

On November 16, 2004 this album was released on CD for the first time as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set.
