CAPITOL RECORDS INTO THE 70'S AND 80'S
ALTHOUGH CAPITOL RECORDS PLANNED A BEST OF THE BEATLES DOUBLE ALBUM IN MID-1964, NO BEATLES GREATEST HITS ALBUM WAS LEGITIMATELY ISSUED IN THE UNITED STATES UNTIL APRIL 2, 1973, WHEN APPLE RELEASED A PAIR OF DOUBLE ALBUMS CONTAINING HITS AND KEY ALBUM TRACKS, ENTITLED "THE BEATLES 1962-1966", AND "THE BEATLES 1967-1970". THESE RELEASES WERE MAINLY DUE TO APPLE'S AND CAPITOL'S CONCERN OVER THE WIDESPREAD DISTRIBUTION OF UNAUTHORIZED COLLECTIONS THAT WERE BEING MANUFACTURED AND RELEASED ILLEGALLY. UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE BEATLES CONTRACTS WITH EMI AND CAPITOL IN JANUARY, 1976, BOTH COMPANIES HAD THE RIGHT TO REISSUE THEIR BEATLES MASTERS IN ANY MANNER THEY SAW FIT. ON JUNE 11, 1976, CAPITOL ISSUED THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF THEME LP ALBUMS CONTAINING PREVIOUSLY RELEASED BEATLES SONGS, WITH THE RELEASE OF THE TWO-RECORD SET, TITLED "ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC". RECORDS ARE LISTED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF RELEASE DATE
