On This Day: March 22 1982 The Beatles Released the Compilation Album Reel Music
On this day March 22 1982 The Beatles released the compilation album Reel Music. The album reached number 19 on the Billboard 200 and featured songs from the band’s classic films including A Hard Day’s Night Help and Yellow Submarine. Reel Music was a unique Beatles collection as it focused specifically on their movie soundtracks rather than their standard studio albums. The album was released at a time when nostalgia for The Beatles was strong leading to a resurgence of interest in their music and films.

Fun fact: The album included a special insert called The Beatles Souvenir Program which featured images and information about the band’s films.

Trivia question: What was the name of The Beatles’ first feature film released in 1964?
