Beatles VI includes two tracks featuring searing John Lennon vocals, recorded specifically for the North American market: "
Bad Boy" and "
Dizzy Miss Lizzy", both covers of
Larry Williams songs, and both recorded on Williams' birthday (10 May 1965), marking perhaps the only time that the Beatles recorded material especially for North America. "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" was part of the set of their 1965 US concerts and was soon included on the British release of the
Help! album, but "Bad Boy" was not released in the United Kingdom or anywhere else in the world until 1966, when it appeared on the compilation
A Collection of Beatles Oldies. These two songs, along with "
Act Naturally" the following month, were the last cover songs recorded and released by the Beatles until "
Maggie Mae" appeared on the
Let It Be album in 1970.
Beatles VI also included: • the remaining six tracks from
Beatles for Sale (i.e., those left off ''
Beatles '65'', although two such songs had been released on a single in February 1965). • "
Yes It Is", the B-side to the single "
Ticket to Ride". This is a "duophonic" stereo remix from the original mono track, with additional
echo and
reverb. • two other tracks from the forthcoming UK release of
Help!: "
You Like Me Too Much" and "
Tell Me What You See". As on
Beatles for Sale, the "
Kansas City"/"
Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!" medley was originally listed only as "Kansas City". After attorneys for Venice Music notified Capitol of its error, the record label was soon corrected, although the album cover never was. ==Track listing==
