 All songs previously released except 'Bad Boy'
This was the first compilation album of Beatles hits (with the strange inclusion of 'Bad Boy' a song previously released in the US but not in the UK) The album failed to make the number 1 spot, probably because the fans had all the records already!
* In 1983 the budget label 'Fame' released the album with the same artwork. It has been deleted since 1990 and has never been released on CD.
