None of these tracks have previously been released, however most have been released in their completed form or a different take, so the only songs I have left (in white) are songs that have never been released in any form previously.Although this series was a historical goldmine, it still comes across as very messy, and would have made a much better single album. (It later was released as 'Anthology Highlights'.

This album was released by Vee Jay 10 days before Meet The Beatles was released by Capitol. Due to the success of The Beatles after their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, the record eventually reached number 2 in the US Billboard Album charts. Vee Jay were being sued by Capitol (amongst others) at the time, and partly due to this the LP was re-released changing 2 of the songs (see above). Eventually Vee Jay were allowed to continue using The Beatles songs they had until the end of 1964 (This explains the number of repackaged albums released by the label - which are fully listed below). Capitol would later release most of the above tracks on the album 'The Early Beatles'. The Vee Jay records (and their subsidy label 'Tollie') are now very collectable.

This final effort by Vee-Jay was re-packaged in a gatefold sleeve with a free poster included. Vee-Jay were not allowed to release the music they held by The Beatles after October 12 1964, and the only card they had left up their sleeve was the album 'Hear The Beatles Tell All' (Listed separately) and this was because it contained no Beatles music only a couple of interviews that The Beatles had made in Los Angeles.
