Rare Beatles first U.S. album sells for £9,500

A rare edition of THE BEATLES' debut U.S. album has gone under the hammer for £9,581.

Introducing... The Beatles hit shelves in America in early 1964, but due to a late release stemming from legal wranglings, it came out just 10 days before their second album Meet The Beatles!, which went on to become a bigger hit.
