THE RAREST OF THE VEE-JAY BEATLES ALBUMS IS THE SECOND AND "VERY LIMITED" PRESSING OF "THE BEATLES & FRANK IFIELD ON STAGE". BECAUSE OF POOR SALES ON THE ORIGINAL RELEASE "JOLLY WHAT!", THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPACKAGE THE ALBUM IN SUCH A WAY AS TO FOCUS ON THE ALBUM'S STRENGTHS AND DOWNPLAY ITS WEAKNESSES. THE REISSUE COVER FEATURES THE STRIKING PORTRAIT OF THE BEATLES PREVIOUSLY USED ON VEE-JAY'S SUBSIDIARY TOLLIE LABEL, THE "LOVE ME DO" PICTURE SLEEVE.
