COMMENTS
 This album is nothing more than a fancy repackaging of the second version of Vee-Jayfs Introducing The Beatles.
Although Vee-Jay assigned the release a new number and prepared a different and more elaborate cover, it did not bother to print new labels for the records placed in the new jacket.

The jacket has a gatefold cover whose front flap is two-thirds of the full jacketfs size.
The lower half of the flap is dominated by the same Dezo Hoffmann photograph. The picture is cropped and given a jagged white border to make it appear as if it were a snap shot ready for pasting into a scrapbook.
The exposed portion of the white background inside right flap has the same Jim Johnson color drawings of each of the Beatles faces that had previously been used on the jacket for the Souvenir EP and the picture sleeve for Do You Want To Know A Secret.
The purchaser is urged to "LOOK INSIDE" for the complete story of each Beatlesf favorite male and female singer, foods, types of girls, sport, hobby, songs and colors as well as their real names, birthplaces, birthdays, height, education and hair and eye color.
The back cover, Below Ringofs color-tinted picture is the phrase "RINGO LOVES" and a blue dash-bordered heart containing the phrase "PICTURE HERE."
And the phrase "Paste your picture with your favorite Beatle and your friends with their favorite and for you fellows tough luck!!" was printed at the bottom of the back cover.

The exterior and interior cover slicks for the album were printed by Ivy Hill Lithograph Corp. in Los Angeles.
The album covers were paired with Version-2 "Introducing The Beatles" records. While one normally finds the colorband brackets logo label or the all black with silver print large VJ logo label with this album, other variations have been found with this jacket, including the colorband oval logo label.

Vee-Jay did not press its own records, the factories selected by Vee- Jay to manufacture its Beatles albums (ARP, Monarch, Southern Plastics, ARC, Columbia and Waddell).
This vinyl was pressed by ARP.

Some album covers for Songs, Pictures And Stories were customized for various Beatles' "1964 American summer tour" concert locations. These souvenir albums have a black banner sticker with white print affixed to the albumfs front gatefold proclaiming "SOUVENIR OF THEIR APPEARANCE AT [VENUE, CITY and DATE]."
On the mono covers, VJ 1092.MC1WS, the banner usually appears on the lower part of the gatefold flap at an angle to leave the album number VJ 1092 uncovered.
While it is possible that these local souvenir banner albums were prepared for most, if not all, of the 21 or so U.S. summer tour concert locations.
