From Britain... With Beat

Relieve the wild days of Beatlemania again!

All material previously unreleased!

Side One 
In the summer of 1964, prior to The Beatles visit to Dallas, these  interviews were aired on KLIF (AM). The Beatles had just finished a whirl-  wind tour of Australia and New Zealand, where hundreds of thousands  of fans and onlookers greeted them, so it made sense to air these  glimpses into The Beatles fabulously successful tour. Besides, in those  days of Beatlemania, anything they said was golden in content. This side  begins with a blow by blow description of the huge crowd and mass  hysteria on hand to greet The Beatles at the Southern Cross Hotel in  Melbourne (6/15/64). From there we are treated to some priceless  noments of conversation with each Beatle as they depart for London at  Mascot Airport in Sydney (7/1/64). Finally, after the Beatles depart  we hear some unintentionally hilarious moments with bereaved fans  skipping school to see their heroes off. Interspersed through all the  pandemonium and excitement are some rare KLIF Beatle radio promos  (Total Time: 22 minutes) 

Side Two 
These interviews were conducted on September 17, 1964, near the close  of The Beatles first American tour. GEORGE describes how The Beatles  develop their songs through John and Pauls technique of writing anc  arranging also how American radio compares with British. RINGO talks  about the wild New Orleans concert, where fans broke thru the  barricades and tried to storm the stage and the role of Capitol Records  and American radio in promoting The Beatles. PAUL discusses the New  Orleans 
concert and his annoyance at politicians that use The Beatles  for their Own ends. Closing out side two is a February 1965 John Lennon  nterview. John talks in detail about Julian's upbringing and attempts ta  keep him out of the limelight. John also discusses Beatle songs, and a  quote attributed to him from Maureen Cleave that was taken out of  context (perhaps a foreshadow of what would happen a year later during  the 1966 U.S. tour).
