Here is an great original Beatles album from my collection offered up for sale:  An AUTHENTIC Vee Jay lp album by the THE BEATLES, released in 1964 "SONGS PICTURES AND STORIES OF THE FABULOUS BEATLES"  on Vee Jay records VJ-1092. This is an original 1964 pressing with the brackets logo style lables.  Vee Jay Records were the first company in the U.S. to offer a Beatles album after Capitol records balked at British artists doing well in the states. The band's success here changed all that and Vee Jay was ultimately forced to stop selling the "Introducing the Beatles" album. Rather than destroy the their back stock of records they continued to sell them in this cool new packaging with a gatefold cover and a new title (Song's Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles ) and number VJ-1092 (on cover only). They were quickly back in court with more lawsuits and were forced to stop ALL sales in ANY cover by early 1965. This is why record buyers in late 1964 opened their new VJ-1092 "Songs Pictures and Stories" album to find an "Introducing the Beatles" VJ-1062 record inside.  This still confuses record collectors to this day but is a historic find for Beatles in the USA story!
