    BEAUTUFUL LP! Many people do not like the Capitol Albums, but I love them, and this is my favorite. A true work of art, from the With The Beatles inspired cover but changed to fit the U.S vibe, and the songs are magnificent! I'd play it over and over and over again on repeat. I own a 3rd Pressing, Just such a wonderful LP.

      out of twelve tracks Capitol pulled ten tracks from the With The Beatles album this is classed as a compilation rather the actual beatles album of course

            i have an interesting case where all the outer is correct but the label is apple and gives the wrong credits i'm thinking the original one broke but if you know anything about this please let me know

              I have a mono T-2047 that I can´t find on Discogs
              It has an Olive Green title on the front cover and George Martin Credit on the back.
              ASCAP (Side-2, Track-1 & 3), the rest all BMI on labels

              The labels are like https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/release/15248258-The-Beatles-Meet-The-Beatles
              except for no Stereo and T-2047 instead of ST-2047

              Matrix / Runout (Label A): T-1-2047-G-12-1
              Matrix / Runout (Label B): T-2-2047-F-13-1
              Matrix / Runout (Runout A stamped): 3
              Matrix / Runout (Runout B stamped): 2 and a sun or a 6-pointed star

              Can anyone help me identify this press?

                I still have my Meet the Beatles, Mono, that I purchased, probably, in 1964. The lettering is dark brown and the first 2 tracks on side 1 are BMI and all the rest are ASCAP. This configuration isn't listed above. So, I don't know which press it is. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

                  Up at the top is Genre, Style, Year. The Year is stating 1963. Should not this be 1964?

                    I can't find my version either. Mine has Beatles in brown, no Martin credit, 3 in bottom right back corner. All songs BMI except don't bother me & till there was you which are ASCAP.
                    Run out side A: ST-2047-W1
                    Run out side B: ST-2047-B4

                      I am so confused! I have a 1964 T-2047 (T-X-1-2047) matrix T1 2047 P17 pressing but unlike any other copy I've found it only credits 2 songs to BMI, not 3. (I want to hold your hand & I wanna be your man). Anybody else have a 2 BMI press?
