Por Siempre Beatles is a compilation album by the English rock group the Beatles, released in 1971 in Spain (as EMI/Odeon J060-04973)[1] and Latin America.[2] It contains various songs from 1965 to 1968 that had not appeared on a British studio album by the Beatles.
Background and song selection
Por Siempre Beatles – the title of which translates as Forever Beatles or Beatles Forever – was notable for the inclusion of the songs "
While "I'm Down" was included on the 1976 Capitol Records compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music,[3] Por Siempre continued to be the only album among all the Beatles LP releases around the world to include "The Inner Light".[4] The song subsequently appeared on a bonus disc in Parlophone's 1978 box set The Beatles Collection, and then on the spin-off release, Rarities, in 1979.[5] As a result, interest in the Spanish compilation waned among collectors.
Although none of the twelve tracks on Por Siempre Beatles had appeared on an official British studio album by the Beatles, "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out" were included on the 1966 UK compilation
