'''''Introducing... The Beatles''''' is the first [[Album#Studio|studio album]] released by the English rock band [[the Beatles]] in the United States. Originally scheduled for a July 1963 release, the [[LP album|LP]] came out on 10 January 1964, on [[Vee-Jay Records]], ten days before [[Capitol Records|Capitol]]'s ''[[Meet the Beatles!]]'' The latter album, however, entered the U.S. album chart one week before the former. Consequently, when ''Meet The Beatles!'' peaked at {{Numero|1}} for eleven consecutive weeks, ''Introducing...The Beatles'' stalled at {{Numero|2}} where it remained for nine consecutive weeks. It was the subject of much legal wrangling, but ultimately, Vee-Jay was permitted to sell the album until late 1964, by which time it had sold more than 1.3 million copies.{{sfn|Spizer|2004|p=98}} On 24 July 2014 the album was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA.
