COMMENTS
|
To promote the Meet
The Beatles album and their upcoming first American visit,
Capitol Records conducted the following interview with the
Beatles. Discs of the recorded interview were then sent to
American radio stations. It was created to be an 'Open-end' interview, meaning that once the interview was recorded, the questions were edited out so that local disc jockeys could read scripted questions along with the recording to sound as if they were personally conducting the interview. This promotional disc also contained 3 tracks from the album, This Boy, It Won't Be Long, and I Want To Hold Your Hand. |
