A Collection of Beatles Oldies A Collection of Beatles Oldies (subtitled But Goldies!) is a compilation album by the English rock band the Beatles. Issued in the United Kingdom in December 1966, it features hit singles and other songs released by the group between 1963 and 1966. The compilation served as a stopgap release to satisfy EMI's demand for product during the Christmas period, since the Beatles had only begun the recording for their new studio album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", late the previous month. The album was the band's first official greatest hits collection.
