COMMENTS
|
To encourage Disc
Jockeys to promote The Beatles, Capitol prepared open-end
interview records that allowed a Disc Jockey to give the
impression that he was personally conducting an in-station
interview with the group. The illusion was created by combining a script of statements and questions to ask the group with a record containing gaps of silence for the DJ to read the script between the prerecorded responses of the boys. As part of its Beatles campaign, Capitol sent copies of the first Beatles interview record to broadcasters in february, 1964. It was titled "Meet The Beatles - The Beatles Open-end Interview". Capitol then prepared the second and final open-end interview record to help promote the lp "The beatles' Second Album", released in april 1964. Furthermore, it is believed that less than one thousand of gThe Beatles' Second Open-end Interviewh sets were prepared, is the rarer of the two Beatles' open-end records issued, and produced in far less numbers than the first. The straight cut side of "the beatles' second open-end interview" picture sleeve contains the text of the interview printed below the title of the disc. The title has the same graphics and color scheme of the title printed on the album's front cover. The DJ lines are in bold black print and the beatles responses are in red italic letters. the Capitol logo and the production credit appear in black in the lower right corner. The open tab side of the picture sleeve has "SIDE TWO" in the upper left corner and "PRO 2599" in the upper right corner. The capitol logo appears top center above a 4" x 4" illustration of the front cover to The Beatles' Second Album. The titles to the songs on side 2, namely gPlease Mr. Postmanh and gThank You Girlh, appear below the cover along with the phrase "open-end interview with The Beatles and "Roll Over Beethoven" on side one. On the album cover, "The Beatles" is in red. the rest of the print is in black. like its predecessor, the record contains an open-end interview leading up to a featured song on side 1 (pro 2598) and two songs from the album on side 2 (pro 2599). This interview was also produced by jack wagner, who apparently used the same basic interview he had used for the first record. In fact, one of George's answers on this second interview disc is merely an edit of a response that appeared on the first record. |
