1962-1966 [Music] Discogs
The Beatles genre: Rock / Pop
release date 1973-04-02
1962–1966, also known as the Red Album, is a compilation album of songs by the English rock band the Beatles, spanning the years indicated in the title. Released with its counterpart 1967–1970 (the "Blue Album") in 1973, the double LP peaked at number 3 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it topped the Cash Box albums chart and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart while 1967–1970 reached the top spot. The album was re-released in September 1993 on compact disc, charting at number 3 in the UK.

The album was instigated by Apple Records manager Allen Klein shortly before he was dismissed from his position. Even though the group had success with cover versions of songs, particularly "Twist and Shout", the original release of 1962–1966 contains only songs composed by the Beatles. It also omits any George Harrison compositions from the era, such as "Taxman", and as such, consists entirely of Lennon–McCartney originals.
