The Yankees do whatever they want. Even with the Beatles. The most complete English product of popular culture arrived in the United States exactly 60 years agoon January 10, 1964 with the launch of Introducing…the Beatles.
It was a meaningless album that the Beatles had not released nor did it contain all the songs they had released Please, pleasetheir real debut album released almost a year earlier in England
Moreover, They first arrived in America with a super limited editionworthy of an underground group: just six thousand copies.
The cover of “Introducing… The Beatles”, released on January 10, 1964 in the United States.
The internal label of “Introducing… The Beatles”.And while we’re at it, the company’s CEOs might have said, blast the opening vocals of that titled song I saw her Standing There. It’s worth mentioning that McCartney begins by saying “One, two, three, four.”
The theme Anna (go to him)meanwhile, it just looked like Annasimply, in the album’s closing credits.
Seeing the cover of Introducing…the Beatles They seem like good guys. Applied, diligent. It would seem that someone can play the balalaika. A rare peculiarity: even so, it was the Beatles’ North American album that most closely resembled the British original until its appearance Mixed in 1966, the first album of which the Yankees respected the factory title (as if they said: “as long as there are guns, everything is fine”).
Towards Yankee Beatlemania
Beatlemania increased, preceded by a deceptive madness. The girls peed themselves saying, “I’m a fan of songs. Introducing…the Beatles!”

Lennon, who was a little young, must have looked at the cover and the title a little confused, not sure if they were waiting for them or another group.
As of February 15, 1964, Billboard’s top albums chart showed it Meet the Beatles (Capitol Records) rose to first place. Number 2? Introducing…the Beatles (Vee-Jay Records).
The band performed at Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, seen by 73 million people. A few days later, the famous Billboard Hot 100 chart was a real Beatles monopoly:
- I can’t buy love
- Spin and shout
- She loves You
- I want to hold your hand
- Please, please.
And yes, all thanks to Introducing… The Beatles, a deformity that introduced Beatlemania to the United States.
