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 ("Magical Mystery Tour," "All You Need Is Love," "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "I Should Have Known Better," "A Hard Day's Night," "Ticket to Ride," and "Get Back") were edited together to make a single track. Presumably this was done to compete with the popular "Stars On 45" medley, released in 1981.The New Zealand pressing of the single appeared in a picture sleeve.
- 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" (which appeared in the A Hard Day's Night film but which was not included on the Reel Music album) was substituted as the B-Side shortly before the single was released.
