 The Beatles were unaware of this until fans showed them the cover during their only Australian tour, and informed the EMI publicity staff that they were not pleased with the substitution.The album became the first Beatles album released in North America when it was released in Canada on 25 November under the augmented title "Beatlemania!With the Beatles", with additional text on the album cover, and issued only in mono at the time, catalogue number T 6051 (a stereo Canadian release would come in 1968, catalogue number ST 6051).
