| - Jolly What! The Beatles & Frank Ifield on Stage (con el subtítulo England's Greatest Recording Stars) fue un álbum editado en febrero de 1964 por la discográfica Vee-Jay Records que recopilaba varias canciones de sus dos artistas más representativos de los cuales disponía la casa en ese momento. Contenía cuatro canciones de los Beatles (los dos sencillos publicados en Estados Unidos por Vee Jay en 1963: «Please Please Me»/«Ask Me Why» y «From Me to You»/«Thank You Girl») y ocho canciones del cantante inglés Frank Ifield. Al contrario de lo que rezaba en la portada, los temas eran grabaciones hechas en estudio. La portada del álbum consistía en un dibujo de un estadista británico sujetando un par de lentes sobre su nariz, al tiempo que mostraba una peluca beatle sobre su cabeza. Este álbum se volvió a editar siete meses más tarde, pero ya sin la coletilla Jolly What! antepuesta al título del disco, y presentando una portada que consistía en un dibujo de los cuatro Beatles posando sobre un fondo de color azul, igual que la portada del sencillo «Love Me Do»/«P.S. I Love You» editado por en abril de 1964. (es)
- Jolly What! England's Greatest Recording Stars: The Beatles & Frank Ifield on Stage is a 1964 compilation album, released by Vee-Jay Records and featuring tracks by English rock band the Beatles and by the Australian-English easy listening and country singer Frank Ifield. Ifield toured the UK in 1963. While Vee-Jay temporarily had the US rights to a number of the Beatles' recordings, they released Jolly What! on 26 February 1964. The LP consisted of four studio Beatles songs (all previously released on Vee-Jay singles), plus eight recordings of Ifield. The original pressing has a drawing of a chubby old man with a moustache and a Beatle wig, and is itself quite rare. However, just before Vee-Jay's publishing rights were about to expire on 10 October 1964, they changed the sleeve cover to a drawing of the Beatles. (This version, titled simply The Beatles & Frank Ifield on Stage, also listed all four Beatles' tracks on the front cover, but none of the eight contributed by Ifield.) Probably less than one hundred copies were pressed, making it one of the rarest Beatles albums. Three sealed stereo copies were discovered in 1976, selling for $600, $900 and $1,800. One of the three was re-sold in 1995 for $22,000. Like many of the albums rushed out to cash in on the Beatles' success, Jolly What! has been called a "rip-off", due to its intentional misleading of buyers. The album consisted entirely of studio recordings (not live, and thus not "on stage"), and all the Beatles material had been previously released. The album is also known for a mistake in the liner notes: "It is with a good deal of pride and pleasure that this copulation has been presented"—presumably "copulation" should have been "compilation". (In confirming the matter, Snopes.com noted that "copulation" was appropriate, since the makers of the album were "trying to screw the fans out of their money.") The album, however, was significant in that, until the release of the Beatles' 1973 compilation album, The Beatles/1962-1966, Jolly What! was the only American Beatles album to include "From Me to You".
