Record was pressed by Columbia in Bridgeport.

Realizing the visual appeal of the Beatles, Vee-Jay prepared a picture sleeve for the record. A black and white version of the photograph used for Vee-Jay’s “Introducing The Beatles” album appears on sleeve, which has a white background with the song titles and the Vee-Jay logo in black print and “The Beatles” in bold red print. While the sleeve may have been issued with all of the record’s numerous variations, is it most often found with the oval and bracket colorband variations.
