Caesar crosses the Rubicon, the London Underground opens, RCA introduces the 45 rpm single, The Beatles' first U.S. record is released, and Wendy's asks "Where's the Beef?," all on this day.
Vee-Jay Records
1964: The Beatles' first album in the United States, "Introducing... The Beatles," is released. The album, released by Vee-Jay Records 10 days before Capitol Records' "Meet the Beatles!," was the subject of much legal wrangling. Ultimately, Vee-Jay was permitted to sell the album until late 1964, by which time it had sold more than 1.3 million copies.
