VEE-JAY'S 'SONGS PICTURES AND STORIES OF THE FABULOUS BEATLES" ALBUM IS A FANCY RE-PACKAGING OF THE SECOND VERSION OF "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES". THE COVER HAS A GATEFOLD WHOSE FLAP IS TWO-THIRDS OF THE FULL JACKET'S SIZE. THE BACK COVER LEAVES NO DOUBT THAT VEE-JAY WAS MARKETING THIS RECORD FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

SIMILAR PICTURES, LANGUAGE AND HEARTS APPEAR FOR THE OTHER BEATLES.
