Very Together was the only compilation of the The Beatles' early recordings as the Beat Brothers released in Canada, although this did not make it the interesting and collectible album that it has become. The cover, which features four candles with one snuffed out was taken, in 1969, as yet another clue in the ongoing "Paul is dead" urban legend. One of just four albums to only be released in Canada, its scarcity in any condition is considerable. The content of this album is identical to the previously released European album The Beatles' First and the American album In the Beginning (Circa 1960) issued the following year.
