From Wikipedia :

The Beatles in Italy is a Beatles compilation album released in Italy in 1965 (Parlophone PMCQ 315006). Despite its title, The Beatles in Italy is not a live album, but, rather, a compilation of previously released studio recordings. The album was issued in Italy in the summer of 1965 to capitalise on the release of the film, Help!, and it contained studio versions of songs that The Beatles had previously performed in concert in Italy.

As The Beatles in Italy contained no new material, it did not sell very well, and it was soon quietly deleted by Parlophone. The record probably would have remained obscure had not John Lennon, in a 1970 Rolling Stone interview, mistakenly referred to it as a live record. As The Beatles had not issued a live album during their career, the Lennon interview set off a frenzy among Beatle collectors seeking to add the alleged "live" album to their collection.
