The first record released in the United States to bear the Beatles name was VJ-498, which was released on or about February 20, 1963.
The single contained the group s second British 45 RPM single, Please Please Me backed with Ask Me Why , and was released in England on January 11, 1963, as Parlophone 45-R 4983.
Both songs was recorded at November 26, 1962 on the Abbey Road Studio, London.
Interestingly enough, Vee-Jay did not even know how to spell the group s name.
All initial issues of the record, as well as advertisements in the trade journals, added an extra T to the name.
Thus, when VJ-498 was released in February of 1963, it was credited THE BEATTLES.
The songwriters were listed as J.
Lennon-P.
McCartney .
