called "Meet the Beatles" with slightly fewer tracks ( the US wanted to make more money) and released by Epiphone's US partner Capitol Records.

Trivia: although most of these early recordings were done in monophonic sound, the instruments were recorded separately from the vocals. Since stereophonic sound was becoming the "next big thing" many of these monophonic recordings were released in the US with the instruments in one channel and the vocals in the other and advertised as "stereophonic".

On a personal note, I was conversing about how early stereophonic sound was being experimented with in the '70s and one of the "youngsters" in the conversation said she experienced one of these experiments and thought something was wrong with her speakers.

*sigh*
