Album Notes

The Beatles eighth official album release.
After the release of Revolver late in 1966, George Martin informed E.M.I. that there would be no new Beatles record in time for Christmas. This left the chance for the first Beatles "Greatest Hits" collection. This L.P. contained 8 tracks previously on other albums, and 8 tracks on L.P. in the U.K. for the first time ... but ... only one track (Bad Boy) had previously been unreleased, making it an essential purchase for the completist.
This was the first L.P. of The Beatles to fail to reach No.1 ... which was hardly surprising at that time, as Revolver was still selling well, and 13 of the 16 tracks came from million selling singles.

The front cover artwork in very 60's flower power style was by David Christian, and the rear cover photograph was by Robert Whittaker (who, on this album, had gained a "t")
