Very Together is an album by the English rock band the Beatles and the first compilation of the band's early recordings supporting Tony Sheridan to be released in Canada. It was issued in November 1969 by Polydor Records, with the catalogue number 242.008. The cover photograph features four candles, one of which has been extinguished – a reference to the "Paul is dead" urban legend.[2]
One of four Beatles albums to be released only in Canada, its scarcity in any condition is considerable. The content of the album is identical to that of the previously released European album The Beatles' First ! and the American album In the Beginning (Circa 1960) issued the following year. Four songs credited to Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers, performed by other musicians, were added to the tracklist.
