BBC Dec. 26, 1963 with Rolf in stereo

[EdinSc]

I had just finished mixing from mono to four-stem stereo the BBC show hosted by Rolf Harris when I learned Harris had just died. Sadly, he apparently had a sordid past. But the Fabs performed brilliantly for the "From Us... " show he hosted, featuring Rolf's own claim the fame, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down," here with special lyrics for the occasion and Beatles' accompaniment. I created no art, but there is a pic of Rolf in the download if you desire. This is 11 tracks, counting the opening and closing of the show. Play loud and Rock on!

I think that was just a rumour. All of Rolf's stuff is still available to buy and stream on spotify and wherever. The real reason I believe was simply that they didn't want any "guest artists" on a Beatles record. That would have entitled him to half or more of the royalties on that song... a not insubstantial amount. Much easier just to have an all-Beatles track and pocket the lot. Same with the pop go the beatles theme: the lorne gibson trio claimed that they played on it and so would have had to have been paid a cut. Apple don't like third parties.
