the lennon–mccartney songwriting partnership makes up the majority of the beatles' catalogue. the first two uk studio albums included 12 cover tunes and 15 lennon–mccartney songs, with one track ("don't bother me") credited to george harrison. their third uk album, "a hard day's night" (1964), is the only original beatles album made up entirely of lennon–mccartney compositions. the next album released, "beatles for sale" (1964), included six covers and eight lennon–mccartney originals. the subsequent release, "help!" (1965), had two covers and two harrison compositions along with ten lennon–mccartney tracks; it was the last beatles album to feature a non-original composition until "let it be", which included an arrangement of the traditional liverpool folk song "maggie mae". among the songs in this post-"help!" output, harrison contributed between one and four songs per album, and starr wrote two songs in total and received a joint credit with lennon and mccartney for a third ("what goes on"). in addition, "flying" and "dig it" were credited to all four beatles. the rest of the catalogue came from lennon and mccartney.

though vee-jay had compiled four albums, ten singles and one ep in the space of just fifteen months from these beatles tracks, when issued on capitol, the album sold well, but its highest chart position was only number 43, making it the only original capitol or united artists released beatles album not to reach numbers 1 or 2 in america (with the exception of the capitol documentary album, "the beatles' story," which peaked at number 7). capitol did little to promote the album since the label merely viewed it as a replacement for the vee-jay lp, rather than a "new" beatles album. "the early beatles" was certified gold ($1 million in sales) on 8 january 1974 and platinum (1 million copies sold) on 10 january 1997 by the riaa. it was released in both mono and stereo versions. as no stereo masters of "love me do" and "p.s. i love you" exist, capitol used emi's duophonic mixes of both songs. the mono pressing of the album was made with a two-to-one fold-down of the stereo tapes, as evidenced by john and paul's vocal collision and chuckle heard in the third verse of "please please me". the original mix on the uk mono issue of the "please please me" lp uses an edit to correct the mistake, while the stereo version of the same lp does not. so the existence of the vocal error in a mono mix is unique to "the early beatles" as well as a short-lived capitol starline 45 released in october, 1965 (deleted two months later).
