Mono/Stereo/Alternates As most of you know, there were myriad differences betwixt mono and stereo releases, and the occasional "alternate take" issue of standard releases. This website is not going into that level of detail. However, this updated 252 page PDF document gives a comprehensive listing that should sate your curiosity: The Usenet Guide to Beatles Recording Variations

Love Me Do / P S I Love You Lennon-McCartney (2:23) / Lennon-McCartney (2:00) Parlophone R-4949 [UK], 10/5/62 T20 First single by The Fab Four; timing from Canadian 45 (2/18/63)

Start of US Beatlemania The story of ineptitude and short-sightedness at both Capitol and Vee Jay makes for a very interesting story, especially as told by Little Steven in his Underground Garage "radio" show (Show 984 - The Big Bang), a show that originally dates to the early 00s. The story of I Want To Hold Your Hand being played on WWDC-AM and why it was released the day after Christmas, 1963 is hysterical (segment 5)! Check it out and then bookmark his website and go back often.

These Kids'll Buy Anything! For a company that wanted nothing to do with this group at first, they sure learned how to squeeze every possible penny from the fans. Case in point: On Nov 23, 1964, Capitol released The Beatles' StoryFascinating Stuff T20 (and a Top Ten to boot). This two-record set was nothing more than interviews and very brief music snippets. One of those snippets (Twist And Shout) was recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl and some of those recordings would finally see a release in 1977. Read about this money-grabbing album @ wiki.

2022 Update: Andrew @ Parlogram Auctions has put up a great video about this (and the 2016 movie soundtrack).
One interesting item: the tickets on the front are fake and the days on both tickets are wrong (should be Sunday).
The 1965 ticket should be Monday, Aug 30!
