Meet The Beatles

January 20, 1964   Capitol Records

Marked as "The first album by England's phenomenal pop combo", Meet The Beatles was the first Beatles album released in America by Capitol, even though the band had already released two albums in their native Britain. Combining songs from those two albums, including a slightly different track list of their second UK album With The Beatles, Meet The Beatles was released just barely two weeks before their historic first performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Two songs are presented in "rechanneled" stereo, as Capitol had only mono mixes from EMI. The cover photo is the same as the UK With The Beatles, but has a blue tint to it. The album was rereleased on CD in 2004 as part of the four disc set The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1 in both stereo and mono on one disc.
