Shortly before Christmas 1964, Capitol Records decided to release Beatles '65 , another stand-alone album, largely based on the British album Beatles for Sale . The British album Beatles for Sale was only released on CD on July 21, 1987 in the USA .
Beatles '65 was the sixth studio album released in the US (all six albums were released in 1964 plus a documentary album) and reached number one on the US Billboard 200 for nine weeks, making it fourth number-one -Album of the Beatles.

(69th place), The Beatles' Second Album (70th place), Songs, Pictures & Stories of the Fabulous Beatles (138th place) and Introducing… The Beatles (146th place). In January 1997, the album was certified multi-platinum in the US for three million copies sold.
The Beatles '65 album contains eight songs from the British album Beatles for Sale . The album also contains the two songs from the current and sixth US number 1 single I Feel Fine / She's a Woman and I'll Be Back from the British album A Hard Day's Night .
