I am enjoying this book that @Joe gave me for my birthday. I am currently in the middle of 1964 right now. I like the quotes from the various newspapers used in the book to tell the story of how Beatlemania developed in Wales.
I found the write up in the “Pop Special” section of the South Wales Echo about Can’t Buy Me Love entertaining. Here’s an interesting sentence from the story: “…The A-side as usual penned by Beatles’ recruits John Lennon and Paul McCartney …” John Lennon as a recruit?
Was getting all the timeline and progression of how things happened with the group harder back at the time it was all happening?

@Ahhh Girl I was pretty young at the time but remember hearing lots of news on the radio and seeing lots of reports on the TV, especially when they were in Wales. I was SO upset that my parents wouldn’t let me join the crowds when they were in Bangor when I was 11 or so.

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Aliens? (LOL)
Sorry you missed that chance to see them, trc. I wonder if some one wrote to the paper and had them print a correction to the review.
The following people thank Ahhh Girl for this post:
