as the "shortest Beatle" who "will send his steak back if it is not blood red". The back sleeve shows outlines of hearts below each Beatle-photo and holds instructions of how to fill the hearts with personal photos. It also erroneously features a second portrait of Paul in place of George, despite being labeled as George. The record inside the cover did not even contain the new name; it still stated Introducing... The Beatles on the label.

The other Introducing... song was "I Saw Her Standing There", first released in the UK on the Please Please Me LP. The song appeared in the US on both the Vee-Jay album as well as Capitol's Meet The Beatles! LP. These two albums marked
