1962–1966, also known as the Red Album, is a compilation album of hit songs by the English rock band the Beatles, spanning the years indicated in the title. Released with its counterpart 1967–1970 (the `Blue Album`) in 1973, the double LP peaked at number 3 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it topped the Cash Box albums chart and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart while 1967–1970 reached the top spot. The album was re-released in September 1993 on compact disc, charting at number 3 in the UK.

The album was instigated by Apple Records manager Allen Klein shortly before he was dismissed from his position.[6] Even though the group had success with cover versions of songs, particularly `Twist and Shout`, 1962–1966 contains only songs composed by the Beatles. The album omits any George Harrison compositions from the era, such as `Taxman`, as the content is entirely Lennon–McCartney originals.

As with 1967–1970, the compilation was created by Apple and EMI/Capitol Records in response to a bootleg collection titled Alpha Omega, which had been sold on television the previous year. Print advertising for the two records made a point of declaring them `the only authorized collection of the Beatles`.[7] The success of the two official double LP compilations inspired Capitol`s repackaging of the Beach Boys` 1960s hits, starting with the 1974 album Endless Summer.[8]

A deluxe expanded version of the album was released on November 10, 2023, containing new remixes of a majority of the tracks and additional tracks not previously included in the original release.[9]

Album covers
For the group`s 1963 debut LP Please Please Me, photographer Angus McBean took the distinctive colour photograph of the group looking down over the stairwell inside EMI House (EMI`s London headquarters in Manchester Square, now demolished). The cover for the 1963 EP The Beatles (No. 1) used a picture from the same shoot.

In 1969, the Beatles asked McBean to recreate this shot. Although one of the 1969 photographs was originally intended for the planned Get Back album, it was not used when that project saw eventual release in 1970 as Let It Be. Instead, another 1969 photograph, along with an unused one from the 1963 photo shoot, were used for both this LP and the cover of 1967–1970.

The inner gatefold photo for both LPs has been attributed to both Stephen Goldblatt and Don McCullin,[10] and is from the `Mad Day Out` photo session in London on Sunday 28 July 1968.[11][12]

The album cover was designed by Tom Wilkes.[13]
