USA first BEATLES album ~~ Here Comes The BRITISH INVASION Of 1963                      

MINT in Shrink Wrapper                                    

               The Beatles

               Introducing

                                        USA - VEE JAY SR 1062

Surely it's a scarce copy of the 1963 legendary first Beatles album in America, not released in England etc. and in MINT condition and ***STILL IN ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP sounding like the take-off of the British Invasion...

Introducing... The Beatles is the first Beatles album in the United States. Originally scheduled for a July 1963 release, the LP came out on 10 January 1964 Vee-Jay Records in mono (catalogue number VJLP 1062) and stereo (VJLPS 1062), mere days before Capitol's Meet The Beatles!. 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

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. Introducing... The Beatles remained on the Billboard LP chart until 9 January 1965.

When the "Please Please Me" single was issued in the United States, Vee-Jay Records signed a licensing agreement with Transglobal, an EMI affiliate that worked to place foreign masters with U.S. record labels, giving it the right of first refusal on Beatles records for five years. As part of that agreement, Vee-Jay planned to release the Please Please Me album in the U.S., and received copies of the mono and stereo master tapes in late April or early May 1963.

Originally, Vee-Jay considered releasing Please Please Me as it appeared in England. A surviving acetate made by Universal Recording Corporation of Chicago, probably in May 1963, contains all 14 songs in the same order as on the UK album, with the title still listed as Please Please Me. But in keeping with the American norm of a 12-song album, Vee-Jay chose instead to delete "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why" and change the album's title to Introducing... The Beatles. Also, the engineer at Universal in Chicago thought that Paul McCartney's count-in at the start of "I Saw Her Standing There" was extraneous rather than intentionally placed there, so he snipped the "one, two, three" from Vee-Jay's mono and stereo masters. Except for those deletions, the order and contents of the album were untouched, resulting in a U.S. album that bore the closest resemblance to a British Beatles LP until Revolver in 1966.

Preparations for the LP's release continued in late June and early July 1963, including the manufacturing of masters and metal parts and the printing of 6,000 front covers. But, despite the claims of many older books that Introducing... The Beatles was first released on 22 July 1963, no paper trail exists.to suggest that the album was released at any time in 1963
