I originally bought this album when I was 17. I loved it then and I do again. What was really nice is that it came as an LP. The sound was full spectrum analog without the digital muffling. I don't think many of these albums were sold. If you don't have it and are a Beatles fan, get it.

The Beatles were evolving musically from the word go, and if you hear this album, proof is ample.

Beatles '65 was done at 1964's tale end. You would think after a year on the road, and the recording schedule, the fabs would have phoned it in. But Beatles '65 is miles from either Meet The Beatles or, in the UK, Please Please Me.

You'll notice the umbrella on the cover, and indeed, this is a great album for a rainy day. Listen to "No Reply," "Baby's In Black," "I'm A Looser"; there is a quailty distictly darker to this music than, say, "She Loves You" or "Hard Day's Night."

The bossa nova on here shows the band already assimilating popular styles, and even the rockabiliy and straight rock are fuller, more complex. "I Feel Fine" may be studio rock's first recorded use of feedback.

Incredible. Most bands don't evolve this much in ten years.

the album fcover was in pretty rough shape (2) pieces, but the lp itself sounds pretty good for 45 yrs old,,

Beatles 65 album was in fair shape only but record was in mint to excellent shape which impressed me because I want to play the

records so sound quality is important to me and dealer delivered. Good purchase.
