[edit] "Abuse"? A bit of bias here. What about Capitol?

In America, "From Me to You" backed with "Thank You Girl" was released on May 6 by Vee-Jay Records, a record label which would become notorious for their abuse of Beatlemania by releasing misleading albums, although the same could be said for other record labels such as Swan Records.

...er, what about Capitol Records? Up until Sgt. Pepper, they were more than happy to carve up the Beatles' output to create their own shameless cash-ins (Beatles VI, etc.) America didn't get the proper Parlophone Beatles albums until the 1980s.

Also, if it wasn't for Capitol's head-in-the-sand attitude, and their inability to see the Beatles' excellence, George Martin wouldn't have had to sell the early Beatles recordings to lesser record labels in the first place. (There's an interview with Sir George in this month's Record Collector, and it's obvious that he's still bitter about this 40 years on.) 217.155.20.163 01:20, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
