Releases

Original LP

"The Beatles' First" was released in 1964 by German Polydor and was available in the UK as an import. In 1967, Polydor officially released the album in the UK, but with a different sleeve.

In the US, the album was released under the title "In the Beginning (Circa 1960)" in 1970 (Polydor 24-4504).

All subsequent releases of the Tony Sheridan/Beatles/Beat Brothers recordings are repackages of the same tracks.

Deluxe edition

This title is available in an expanded double CD set with bonus tracks which was issued by Universal Music on 12 June 2004. The main tracks are in stereo on the first CD and in mono on the second CD.
