On March 28, 1965, it is rumored that the Beatles mimed to “Eight Days A Week ,” “Ticket To Ride ,” and “Yes It Is ” on the television program “Thank Your Lucky Stars.”
Does anyone at all know of the existance of this footage or have this footage in their possession and is able to share it? I have been dying to see them “perform” Eight Days A Week live. This could be a great find!

There's a little bit of information on this page: https://www.beatlesbible.com/1…..ppearance/
I don't know of a copy in circulation. It's not mentioned in The Unreleased Beatles by Richie Unterberger, a book I recommend if you're interested in bootlegs.

I have two questions about Eight Days A Week (Complete) from Anthology.
1. Is it just me, or during “I ain’t got nothing but love, babe,” is there something an octave or two higher that is singing/playing the same melody as the main vocal?
2. What’s that weird noise during “Hold me, love me” (I think the second time that those lyrics are sung, but I’m not sure)? It sounds sort of like a trombone, or maybe a snoring elephant- a very, very quiet snoring elephant…
Also known as Egg-Rock, Egg-Roll, E-George, Eggy, Ravioli, Eggroll Eggrolli...

Offline 1. It’s overspill of the unused Mal Evans penny whistle solo.
2. It’s a quietly snoring elephant. A GH Martin idea. Borrowed one from around the corner at London Zoo (Regent’s Park). He is/ was a fellow of the Zoological Society you know. The song was originally called Eight Tons a Week referring to the average amount of dung produced by an elephant per week. ‘Ooh I need your shovel, I think your wig glue sucks. Mucking out the rhinos, this toupee’s barely stuck.

“Eight Days A Week ” was released on February 15 (the very day I joined the BB!), not March 24 as the article states. 
Do I get a badge now?

Offline You’re in the ballpark, @Beatlebug, but no badge. March 24 was when it reached #1.
(I can say this because @Ahhh Girl showed me this, and I was the one who pointed out the flaw.)

The article claims that they brought the song into the studio UNFINISHED. This is untrue, of course. They brought it into the studio with the BACKING unfinished. !!!!!!!!!!!

If the answer isn’t revealed after a guess or two more, I’ll give a hint.

Offline A shame? Hardly. Some poor intern, three days into his/her internship, was probably saddled with writing this schlock – hence the lack of a byline. I read the three paragraphs and am beyond caring. Wake me when the error is revealed. It’s most likely something incredibly trivial. Life is too fecking short.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline Isn’t It A Pity , oh isn’t it a shame.
I’ve counted up the Beatles’ singles that went to number one in America during the time frame we are interested in, and I only found six: I Want To Hold Your Hand , She Loves You , Can’t Buy Me Love , A Hard Day’s Night , I Feel Fine , and Eight Days A Week .

Offline So, how many months would have to be in a year for the reporter’s statement
“Eight Days A Week ” set a record, which still stands. It was the seventh song by the same artist to reach the top of the U.S. pop chart over the course of one year.
to be true?
I guess he can have that many months in a year if there can be eight days in a week
