Hear The Beatles Tell All - 1964



Two KRLA disk jockeys snagged the Beatles during their 1964 American tour and took their interviews to Vee-Jay records. The record sold well and was reissued again and again. You might feel a little sorry for the lads as you listen to this. Link in comments.

Miss Him, Miss Him, Miss Him


I was aware of the PAUL IS DEAD theory at the time but gave it little attention. Radio stations such as WABC, WKNR, CFNY, WPLJ, WMCA, WKBW, and their radio personalities were busy investigating PID and giving it airtime. Some of the jockeys involved were Roby Yonge, Alex Bennett, and Dave Fox. A number of famous people were interviewed and eight CD's of material resulted. New and improved link in comments.
