Reel Music

Unique mixes

• The first US release of the British stereo mix of "I Am the Walrus". Previous American releases of the song had the intro edited like the mono mix, although an edit of the British version appeared on Rarities two years before;
• The official American debut of the songs "A Hard Day's Night" and "Ticket to Ride" in true stereo;
• A unique stereo edit of "I Should Have Known Better", with the harmonica error in the intro fixed. This version was issued only on the Capitol pressing and has never appeared on any other record.

  Single

• The album was accompanied by the single "The Beatles Movie Medley" b/w "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You", which came with a picture sleeve featuring the same artwork as the album cover. The A-side of the single featured an artificial medley, in which excerpts from seven songs from Reel Music were edited together to make a single track.
• Originally, the single's B-side was to be an interview with the group dubbed "Fab Four on Film", which was recorded during the filming of A Hard Day's Night in 1964. Capitol/EMI Records, however, could not obtain the necessary permission to utilise the interview on the single, and "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" was substituted as the B-side shortly before the single was released, although promotional copies of the single featured the interview.
