Brief Album Description:
Introducing... The Beatles is the first Beatles album released in the United States. Originally scheduled for a July 1963
release, the LP came out on 10 January 1964, on Vee-Jay Records, ten days before Capitol's Meet the Beatles!. The latter
album, however, entered the U.S. album chart one week before the former. Consequently, when Meet The Beatles! peaked at #1
for eleven consecutive weeks, Introducing...The Beatles stalled at #2 where it remained nine consecutive weeks. It was the
subject of much legal wrangling, but ultimately, Vee-Jay was permitted to sell the album until late 1964, by which time
it had sold more than 1.3 million copies. On 24 July 2014 the album was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA.
