THE BEATLES – 45 FAB FACTS!
Close to the end of the last century that quintessentially English band, Stackridge recorded a song called, ‘Something About The Beatles’.
‘Turning on, tuning in, everyone believing in love. Making the world go round’
Just like everyone else on the planet, for the past half century and more, Stackridge felt that John, Paul, George and Ringo, collectively, The Beatles, made the world go round. . .and not just the world of music. There really was something about the Beatles that seemed to reach out to everyone. From royalty, to those who simply wanted to touch them, share the same air as them or if all else failed simply to buy the records and bathe in their magical melodies and their wonderful words.
So here are some things about The Beatles…
1. For the week ending April 4th 1964, The Beatles held the top 5 slots of the Billboard Hot 100. They also had another seven positions lower down the chart. One week later they still had three discs in the top five and a further 11 slots within the Hot 100.
2. In the UK, the mono version of the Please Please Me album was rush-released by EMI on 22 March 22 1963. The stereo version was released in late April. All other albums up to and including Yellow Submarine in January 1969 were issued in stereo and mono simultaneously.
