The Fab Four recorded for Capitol in the US and Parlophone in the UK, both run by EMI. Capitol passed on their first three 45's, so EMI licensed those to other US labels. When Beatlemania happened, Vee-Jay re-released their material, which caused a protracted legal battle settled by Capitol for a tidy sum, who then put out this album and called it "The Early Beatles" which contains today's song. Vee-Jay also had rights to all the early Four Seasons records...and still went broke! This was originally done by the Cookies in 1962.
