Offered here is THE BEATLES "The Early Beatles" 1st US 1965 Pressing CAPITOL ST 2309 Stereo, with Rainbow Label, and MATRIX Side One: ST 1 2309 A1; Side Two: ST 2 2309 B2. The Early Beatles is the Beatles' sixth release on Capitol Records, and their eighth album for the American market. The album resembles more of an early compilation because all of the tracks had previously been featured on the early 1964 Vee-Jay release Introducing... The Beatles. The front cover photo for this album features the same back cover photo for the British LP Beatles for Sale. Vee-Jay had gained American rights to the tracks before the group became popular in America (because Capitol, the US division of EMI which owns the Beatles' record label Parlophone, had refused to release the group's records), and their releases had initially failed to chart. But after the group became popular, Vee-Jay, still having the rights to the early material, were able to re-release them in America and this time the records sold in the millions. Capitol tried to stop Vee Jay from releasing the tracks, but were not successful. In October 1964, Vee-Jay's license to distribute the Beatles recordings they possessed expired, so Capitol finally got the American distribution rights for the album. CONDITION: The cover is in Good/Very Good Condition. Note: moisture stain reverse upper left cover. Also, tiny ring wear is evident. The LP, Grades a conservative Good. The original paper protective sleeve is also included. We will combine shipping to save you postage. Please Inquire.
