Version two[]

To circumvent the restraining order, Vee-Jay quickly reconfigured Introducing... The Beatles. It removed "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" and replaced them with the previously omitted "Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me", though some pressings of the album did not alter the track list. The new versions were prepared in late January and began appearing in stores around 10 February 1964.

Because of the initial restraining order, version two of Introducing... The Beatles did not enter the  charts until three weeks after Capitol's  album. Once it did, it quickly rose to the number two spot, where it stayed for nine straight weeks. It also peaked at number two in , and it got to number one in  magazine. This success inspired a host of other Vee-Jay releases. First came the album  issued on 26 February, containing the Beatles tracks "Please Please Me", "From Me to You", "Ask Me Why" and "Thank You Girl" from the 1963 singles and Introducing..., and other tracks from . The rereleased single "Please Please Me" rose to number three on theHot 100, Cash Box and Record World. Soon after, "" was released 2 March on the subsidiary Tollie label with "" as the B-side, and "", with "" on the B-side, was issued on 23 March. Both singles went up to number two on the Hot 100, with "Twist and Shout" reaching number one on both Cash Box and Record World. Also a  titled  was released by Vee-Jay on 23 March, featuring "", "", "", and "".

Even with the replacement of the two Beechwood Music songs, Vee-Jay and Capitol battled in court throughout the early part of 1964. Injunctions against Vee-Jay's album were issued, lifted and restored more than once. Because the album was often pressed quickly between restraining orders, there are almost two dozen different label variations, including mono and stereo copies, manufactured at numerous pressing plants. Finally, on 9 April 1964, the two labels settled. Vee-Jay was granted a license giving it the right to issue the 16 Beatles' songs it controlled, in any way it saw fit, until 15 October 1964. At that time, its license expired, and all rights would revert to Capitol. During the time Introducing... The Beatles was available, it sold approximately 1,300,000 mono copies and approximately 41,000 stereo copies. Because only 3.1 percent of all of the LPs were in stereo, true stereo copies are rare.

After the settlement, the Beechwood songs were issued by Vee-Jay as a single, on 27 April on Tollie. ""/"" rose to become the Beatles' fourth number one single on Billboard and their fifth on both Cash Box and Record World.
