The first American LP was released on January 10, 1964.
When Capitol refused to take up their option on the Beatles, manager Brian Epstein was forced to hand their debut album over to Vee-Jay – a little company with an even littler budget. In Britain it was called Please Please Me and contained fourteen songs. But a standard LP in America only had twelve, so they knocked out Please Please Me and Ask Me Why – those two songs had already formed their debut single in February ‘63 (which bombed) so there was little point in using them again. And with Please Please Me missing, there was no need to keep the British title, so they re-christened it Introducing The Beatles..
