The U.S. Albums is a box set gathering the remastered American editions of the Beatles' records, issued between 1964 and 1970. Capitol Records shaped those releases differently from the British originals, so this is the band's catalogue as American listeners first met it, starting with Meet the Beatles!

It came out in January 2014, timed to mark fifty years since the group's first trip to the US and the arrival of that first Capitol album. It sits alongside the band's remastered catalogue as a companion piece rather than a replacement, and it suits anyone curious about how the same songs were sequenced, grouped and presented on the other side of the Atlantic. Hearing them this way offers a fresh angle on records you may think you know well.
