Just I know they slipped version one records into version two sleeves, did they slip version two records into unused version one sleeves with a “butcher sleeve” cover up?”
Well actually, yes, it looks like the track listing on the back may have been pasted on a la butcher cover.
So if you’re correct, they put version records in version 1 album sleeves so as not to waste them – but then ‘covered up’ by pasting a new track listing.
I think we’re well into a major cover up here.

Beatley moment, as I typed this, watching highlights of last Grammy’s, Julia Roberts introduced Paul and Ringo!

When was the last time Ringo drummed behind Paul?
I’m glad Paul chose “Queenie Eye ” over “New”

Ringo’s 70th when Paul sang birthday – as a complete guess?

From an article just posted by parlance in the news thread:
They joined forces for the first time in five years at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards
Hum, Ringo’s 70th would be more recent than that. I’m in way over my head here as far as Beatles knowledge/trivia goes, but I saw that in the article and thought I’d throw it into this conversation.

The fidelity sounded much better than Capitol’s albums, very much the same as the UK releases, good thicker vinyl too with the plain black ‘VeeJay’ label…:-)
Just dug my old copy of this album out – it’s the first release according to the cover, track listing and record, funny thing is the tracks are definitely in mono and although it plays well, the fidelity leaves a lot to be desired.
The only thing I can think of is it could be counterfeit? I bought it from a charity shop around 35 years ago in Liverpool, which makes me wonder how it ended up there? A ‘Cunard Yank’ perhaps? Looks genuine though, a weird one.
EDIT:
A bit of digging around found this on Wiki –
throughout the early part of 1964. Injunctions against Vee-Jay’s album were issued, lifted and restored more than once. Because the album was often pressed quickly between restraining orders, there are almost two dozen different label variations, including mono and stereo copies, manufactured at numerous pressing plants. Finally, on 9 April 1964, the two labels settled. Vee-Jay was granted a license giving it the right to issue the 16 Beatles’ songs it controlled, in any way it saw fit, until 15 October 1964. At that time, its licence expired, and all rights would revert to Capitol. During the time Introducing… The Beatles was available, it sold approximately 1,300,000 mono copies and approximately 41,000 stereo copies. Because only 3.1 percent of all of the LPs were in stereo, true stereo copies are rare.
Plus –
Starting in the late 1960s and continuing through the 1990s, Introducing… The Beatles was frequently counterfeited. These counterfeits can be identified by the cover printing and quality, the label, or the sound quality.

Amazing day, weekend. Wish I was alive to experience it.
Interesting how 50 years later, it falls exactly on/to the day it happened!

I won’t be doing anything special. I’ve never really known how to mark occasions like this. I feel a strange mix of sadness and surrealness (surreality?), I can’t really believe it was half a centruy ago.

Basically, but the musicians are live, and we bring lyric books. I’ve only been to one. We yell out requests and have munchies. It’s a lot of fun.

I like the idea of celebrating with people who were there and hearing their stories.

I generally wouldn’t if it weren’t for these kinds of events. But I know one person very well – we used to belong to an a capella group, and when I told him I’m a Beatles fan, he talked a bit about what it was like when they arrived in ’64. And he gave me insights for an essay I had to write for my history of rock class on the British invasion.

Having said that, my nan was there at the time, and she’s told me that the papers went mad on them and it was ‘beatles this’, ‘beatles that’ She didn’t really do pop music, though.
