Early Beatles album question--

We were going through some closets at my wife's parent's house and found an old album without album cover or sleve. It's titled "Meet The Beatles!" (Recorded in England) Mfg by Capital Records, Inc. Side one has 1.) I want to hold your hand 2.) I saw her standing there 3) This boy 4) It won't be long 5.) All I've got to do 6.) All my loving-- Is this their first album? I'm sure there's an audiogoner that has this album. Does anyone know what year this is from? Thanks! Stan

If your catalog number is T-2047, then it should be mono. On the jacket it says "also available in stereo."

Hodie, Thanks! Yes, by the album side #'s (1 and 2)- It says T-2047 and under that it reads "(T-X-1-2047)." So I guess that it's a mono recording. The jacket and sleeve are missing at this time. Thanks all for your answers! Stan

Beatles '65 was released in the US at the very end of 1964, about the same time as Beatles for Sale in the UK. For Sales' lineup was basically split between '65 and Beatles VI (June '65) in the US. The US albums were mostly filled out with songs that were only released as singles or EPs in the UK.

This is generally considered a weak moment in the Beatles' catalog, although weak is a relative term. As for the unfamilarity of the songs, four of the 11 on '65 are covers.

The world is awash in old Beatles albums. Even in a top-flight used record shop, you can find these for less than $10.
