ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 12nd AUGUST 1964
VEE-JAY RECORDS.
MADE IN USA.

THIS FAKE FEATURES A LARGE WHITE BRACKETS LOGO ON A LABEL WITHOUT A COLORBAND.
IT HAS SIMPLY A FLAT FRONT COVER WITHOUT THE GATEFOLD. BY HAVING NO GATEFOLD, THE 'STORIES' CONTAINED IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD'S LINER NOTES ARE NOT PRESENT. FOR THIS REASON, THE ALBUM'S TITLE WAS CHANGED FROM 'SONGS, PICTURES AND STORIES OF THE FABULOUS BEATLES' TO 'SONGS AND PICTURES OF THE FABULOUS BEATLES'.
ANOTHER DIFFERENCE IS THE SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE TRACK LIST.
THERE IS ALSO A DISTINGUISHING FACTOR IN THIS FAKE: THE MOIRE EFFECT, APPEARING AS CRISSCROSSED LINES, CLEARLY VISIBLE ON THE COLOR-TINTED FACES OF RINGO AND PAUL ON THE BACK COVER.
