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 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 stereo copies, manufactured at numerous pressing plants. Finally, on 9 April 1964, the two labels settled. 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 approximately 41,000 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 9 January 1965.
Introducing... The Beatles has never been officially released on compact disc in America,

CONDITION: The thick stiff cover is still in terrific condition "EX" (excellent) with no split seams, no bends (there is a light name on back and a number), a small stain at top right corner...the other darker area below (near pocket opening) is suppose to be there - it's George's shadow!) ... the back cover has the song titles in two separate columns for side (A) and side (B) ...there is a little rub area, about an inch on top seam at left, but seam is not split. The spine is fine and the lettering is well centered.
The vinyl has a few little stray light hairlines, VG++ nothing at all deep, the few present are all insignificant and top surface (superficial) ...both sides have the original glossy luster. The record plays excellent.
The rare Vee-Jay inner sleeve is clean and crisp with no splits
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
