Introducing… The Beatles is the first Beatles album released in the United States. Originally scheduled for a July 1963 release, the LP
came out on 10 January 1964, on
Vee-Jay Records, ten days before Capitol‘s Meet the Beatles!. The latter album, however, entered the
U.S. album chart one week before the former. Consequently, when
Meet The Beatles! peaked at #1 for eleven consecutive weeks, Introducing…The Beatles stalled at #2 where it remained nine consecutive weeks. It was the subject of much legal wrangling,
but ultimately, Vee-Jay was permitted to sell the album until late
1964, by which time it had sold more than 1.3 million copies. On 24
July 2014 the album was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA.

A CALL TO PROTEST MASK WEARING IN 1919

A call to protest by the Anti-Mask League in The San Francisco Chronicle, on Jan. 25, 1919.
Item from The San Francisco Chronicle.

The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in
recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian
origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where
the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919.

The Anti-Mask League held its first organizational meeting, open to
the public at the Dreamland Rink, where they united behind demands
for the repeal of the mask ordinance and for the resignations of the mayor and health officials.

Their objections included lack of scientific evidence that masks
worked and the idea that forcing people to wear the coverings was unconstitutional.(
The New York Times)

Rail commuters wearing white protective masks, one with the additional message “wear a mask or go to jail,” during the 1918 influenza pandemic in California.
