America “Meets The Beatles,” Dylan Gets “Tangled Up In Blue”

Two iconic albums came out on January 20: Meet The Beatles! in 1964 and Bob Dylan’s 1975 masterpiece Blood On The Tracks.

For The Beatles, Meet The Beatles! was their second album to land stateside but their first release under Capitol Records. It featured the classics “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “I Saw Her Standing There and “All My Loving.”

Meet The Beatles! has sold over five million copies to date. As for what happened next for those four lads from Liverpool, well…if you don’t know, then clearly you have been living under a rock for the past five decades.

Eleven years after America met The Beatles, they stared down Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks, which is now one of Dylan’s most celebrated albums, but upon its release, that wasn’t the case.
