Tollie Records

The label distributed two of the Beatles' singles in the United States before Capitol Records eventually took over.

The first single was "Twist and Shout" b/w "There's a Place" (Tollie 9001), which was released in February 1964, amid the flurry of Beatlemania that was sweeping the United States at that time.

This single version of their recording reached the number 2 position on Billboard's Top 40 Hit Singles chart, with its B-side "There's a Place" reaching number 74, while the other top five spots were also Beatles records: "Can't Buy Me Love", Capitol, No.

Although the label released a total of 48 singles before it ceased operation in 1965, the Beatles records were its only million-sellers.

Previous releases of some early Beatles songs on the Vee-Jay label in the summer of 1963 failed to chart in America.
