    While still controlled American rights to the Beatles' first album, Introducing The Beatles, the Vee-Jay label now released a slightly different abridgement under the title Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles. ("Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me" were restored, and "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" deleted). This was the same version they had released only 11 days earlier as one-half of The Beatles Vs. The Four Seasons.

  7. On July 22, 1963, Vee Jay Records released what was the first Beatles' album in America. It was released in two versions; the monaural (#VJLP1062) and in far & away much harder to find stereo (#SR1062), and is today one of the most valuable of all The Beatles' albums. It was the subject of much legal wrangling, but ultimately, Vee-Jay were permitted to sell the album until the fall of 1964, by which time it had sold more than 1.3 million copies. Introducing... The Beatles did not enter the Billboard album charts until three weeks after Meet the Beatles!. Once it did, it quickly rose to the #2 spot, where it stayed for nine straight weeks. It also peaked at #2 in Cash Box, and it got to #1 in Record World magazine.

    Vee-Jay and Capitol battled in court throughout the early part of 1964. Injunctions against Vee-Jay's album were issued, lifted and restored more than once. Because the album was often pressed quickly between restraining orders, there are almost two dozen different label variations, including mono and even a limited HIGHLY-SCARCE amount of     stereo copies, manufactured at numerous pressing plants.

  9. Finally, on 9 April 1964, both the VEE-JAY and CAPITOL labels settled.

  11. Vee-Jay was granted a license giving it the right to issue the 16 Beatles songs it controlled, in any way it saw fit, until 15 October 1964. At that time, its license expired, and all rights would revert to Capitol. During the time "Introducing... The Beatles" was available, it sold approximately 1,300,000 mono copies and extremely far-fewer stereo copies.

    Though Vee-Jay could not manufacture or distribute any Beatles product after 15 October 1964, it took a long time for the records to vanish from retail stores. Both     Introducing... The Beatles and Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles remained on the Billboard LP chart until January 9,1965.

  • no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, no writing
  • = see exact photos

    • The vinyl: VG+ and better ... visually only a few minimum visible hairlines/scuffs, yet both "deep-groove" sides contain TOTAL enjoyable excellent audio and highly sought/collectible STEREO rainbow VJ (Vee-Jay) labels ...should be readibly acceptable considering the improbability finding a better 1963 STEREO =ORIGINAL=
