Editing Introducing... The Beatles (section)

=== ''The Beatles vs the Four Seasons'' ===
The other repackaging was the two-record set ''The Beatles vs the Four Seasons'', which contained copies of ''Introducing... The Beatles'' in one pocket of the gatefold cover and ''[[Golden Hits of the Four Seasons]]'' (VJLP 1065), a compilation album featuring Vee-Jay's other marquee artist [[The Four Seasons (band)|The Four Seasons]], in the other.{{sfn|Spizer|1998|p=169}} This Vee-Jay creation spent three weeks on the ''Billboard'' chart in October 1964 and peaked at number 142. The cover artwork for this version was later parodied for the bootleg release ''The Beatles vs the Third Reich'', featuring the band's 1962 [[Star-Club]] recordings.

Though Vee-Jay could not manufacture or distribute any Beatles product after 15 October 1964, it took a long time for the records to vanish from retail stores. Both ''Introducing... The Beatles'' and ''Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles'' remained on the ''Billboard'' LP chart until 9 January 1965.{{sfn|Castleman|Podrazik|1976|p=358}}
