A collection of Beatles oldies (side 1) – Parlophone yellow and black label

A Collection of Beatles Oldies (subtitled But Goldies!) is a compilation album featuring a selection of songs by The Beatles recorded between 1963 and 1966. The album was released in the United Kingdom and Australia in both mono (catalogue number PMC 7016) and stereo (PCS 7016). It also saw a release in Mexico, Germany and Spain.

Background

The release of this album was the result of EMI not having any new material by the Beatles for the 1966 Christmas season in the manner of the previous three years.

The sole new track, a cover of Larry Williams' "Bad Boy", had not yet been released at all in the UK, even though it was released in the United States on the Capitol album Beatles VI in June 1965, only a month after the group recorded it.
