      Just a brief suggestion going forward . Since all of the Beatle albums , up until the White album , were originally recorded , mixed and released in a monophonic format , you might want to consider , if available , using brief monophonic background samples to accompany the narration . Thanks again for your informative efforts across all of your entertaining reviews .

      Thanks mate, both for creating the channel and the accompanying videos. I appreciate the effort that goes into making the vids, along with the research & scripts. Been a fan since "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in the States in late December of 1963, with "She Loves You" being the first 45 rpm / 7" record I'd ever bought when I was 9yrs old. Funny story (now): My parents had a quite large console Hi-Fi record player / stereo radio, with 2-12" and 2-8" speakers, on which we played our music on in the living room. The second day I had the record, I had played "She Loves You" so many times in a row, that my older brother (by 7yrs), got so irritated with me & the song that he snatched my record from the record-player and broke it completely in half, as I stood there in shock. He did ultimately become a Beatles fan, though. Cheers!!

    Those of us who grew up between the 50s and the mid 70s we're the lucky generation. It was a period of relative economic stability when freedom of expression and of criticism of the system was permitted. Yeah, they were good day that are not coming back. The Beatles music was the backdrop to my entire childhood and it seems so natural. I remember when they come to Australia in 66, I was seven years old and the concert was held at Festival Hall. It was telecast on TV in black and white and I watched at my grand mother’s. Poor old Ringo was sick and did not make the trip.

    Beatles facts you may not know.
    1. To play it safe, because of George's strep throat, The Beatles tuned their guitars down one half step for the February 9,1964 Ed Sullivan Shows, both the afternoon taped performance as well as the historic live night-time performance. They were also tuned down as well at The Washington Coliseum and Carnegie Hall concerts. But they tuned back up into key for the second Sullivan Show from Miami Beach.
    2. Some songs in the film A Hard Day's Night are a half step flat. They are If I Fell, And I Love Her, I'm So Happy Just To Dance With You, and the entire Finale including Tell Me Why, If I Fell, I Should Have Known Better and She Loves You. The Beatles recorded all these songs in their proper keys but there was a problem. During the filming of those songs, there were t.v. monitors in the scene. When filming those scenes in 24fps, the producer and director noticed the monitors were rolling. So they had to shoot at 25fps to stop the roll. When the film was released to the world, it was released in the standard 24fps. Therfore those songs with the t.v. monitors in them were a bit slower and therefore the keys were a half step flat. So in the movie, If I Fell is in Db, And I Love Her in Eb, I'm So Happy Just To Dance With You is in Eb. Tell Me Why it's in Db. She Loves You is in Gb. Now the Beatles performed I Should Have Known Better twice. Once in the train playing cards with no tv monitor in the scene. That version is in the proper key of G. However they also did the song during the finale WITH TV MONITORS in the scene, which is why that version is in Gb. Most Beatles fans do not know these facts. But now you do! 🎼👌

    Very nice stroll through early 1964. You mentioned that they travelled back to New York for the second Ed Sullivan show, but of course you now know that they performed live at the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach for the second show, and that they were "live" on tape for the third show as they were back in the UK by then. One thing I wish you had included was how Richard Lester wanted a "big" opening number, and the result was the fabulous first chord on A Hard Day's Night. I've read about how they experimented with it, but would have loved to see that included in this video.

    Great job. I never knew about the mangling of Ringo's drum track on CBML. But the B-side of their next single was not If I Fell; it was Things We Said Today. Of course, it's possible that a rogue release somewhere did re-order the B-side allocations, but EMI seem to have controlled that pretty tightly for most of the Beatles' career.
