COMMENTS	This album is the ill-fated Toshiba EMI project that never saw the light of day. London EMI didn't permit them to release it. This record is sample disk(). Odeon promo LPs feature the perimeter print, Odeon logo, and circled text in red and all other printing in "hand lettered" black. Note the release date above the Odeon logo. The label design is similar to that used for the regular commercial Odeon LPs. These are most commonly found on red vinyl.

COMMENTS	Dark Green Apple label: with "TOSHIBA MUSICAL..." credit. Gatefold cover with unique front and back. Comes with 8-page photo booklet. The song orders were different from U.K. press. The commemorative disks of the Beatles' Japan visit: Toshiba EMI needed to make special commemorative disks, but the idea of making an original best album ("the Best of the Beatles" OP-7177), which they once planned to release in 1965, was turned down by E. M. I. in England again and this album remained unreleased. therefore, they had to use existing albums to promote for the 'Yeah Yeah Sale'. At the early stage of the sale, they advertised the then new album "Rubber Soul" (released on 15th March 1966 in Japan), but later they decided to release two albums "Please Please Me" and "With The Beatles", both of which had been unreleased in Japan. they re-named them as "STEREO! This is the Beatles Vol.1" and "Vol.2", changing song orders to put the most popular songs in Japan at the first place of every record. They made original covers, gatefold covers with photo books inside, and they emphasized that these were STEREO records (this might be an impact because stereo equipment had just become popular).
