Brief Album Description:
Rock 'n' Roll Music is a compilation album by The Beatles that consists of previously released Beatles tracks. The double album was
issued on 7 June 1976 in the United States, on Capitol Records (catalogue number SKBO 11537), and on Parlophone (PCSP 719) in the
United Kingdom, four days later. The album is a combination of some notable Lennon–McCartney originals, such as "Drive My Car",
"Revolution", "Back in the U.S.S.R." and "Get Back", George Harrison's "Taxman", and a dozen cover versions of songs written by
significant rock and roll composers of the 1950s, including Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Carl Perkins and Larry Williams. Rock 'n'
Roll Music was the first Beatles album to include "I'm Down", which had previously only been available as the B-side of the "Help!" single.
