Recording: Around The Beatles Saturday 18 April 1964 Television 2 Comments
IBC Studios, Portland Place, London
Producer: Jack Good
Engineer: Alan Florence
Tape operator: Peter Robinson

Brian Epstein had negotiated a one-hour television special starring The Beatles, to be made by London-based ITV company Rediffusion. To be titled Around The Beatles, the show was filmed on 28 April 1964, but rehearsals and recording began on this day.

The working title of the show was John, Paul, George And Ringo. Also to appear were PJ Proby, the Vernons Girls, Long John Baldry, Millie, The Jets, Cilla Black and Sounds Incorporated. In Proby’s band was Jimmy Page, then a full-time session guitarist.

The Rediffusion contract stipulated that The Beatles had to attend five days of rehearsals between 17 and 27 April. However, due to the group’s hectic schedule they had limited time to attend. The audio was recorded over two consecutive days, this and the next.

This day’s recording finished at 10pm. The staff then prepared the studio to record PJ Proby’s single Hold Me, which launched his career in the UK. Jack Good, the man behind Around The Beatles, produced the recording.

side note : around 4:03 min think I hear Words of Love in background ?

Television: Around The Beatles Tuesday 28 April 1964 Television 16 Comments
The Beatles recorded the television special Around The Beatles between 9pm and 10.15pm on 28 April 1964, at Studio 5AB at Rediffusion’s Wembley Studios, London.

The group arrived at the studios at 11am to take part in final rehearsals, although during the day they also gave interviews to Swedish radio, speaking to visiting host Klas Burling.

The hour-long show featured, along with The Beatles, PJ Proby, the Vernons Girls, Long John Baldry, Millie, The Jets, and NEMS artists Cilla Black and Sounds Incorporated. It was first broadcast in the UK on the ITV network on 6 May from 9.45pm, and in the US by ABC on 15 November.

The Beatles took part in two segments in the show: a musical set and a spoof of Act V Scene I of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison also mimed a trumpet fanfare at the start of the show, before Ringo Starr appeared with a flag to set off a cannon ball. The group also introduced PJ Proby’s performance.

For the Shakespeare spoof, Lennon took the female role of Thisbe, McCartney played Pyramus, Harrison was Moonshine and Starr played Lion. Incidentally, McCartney later owned a cat he named Thisbe.


The songs performed by The Beatles in the show were ‘Twist And Shout’, ‘Roll Over Beethoven’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, ‘Long Tall Sally’ and ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’, as well as a special medley of their earlier hits – ‘Love Me Do’, ‘Please Please Me’, ‘From Me To You’, ‘She Loves You’, and ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ – and finally a version of The Isley Brothers’ 1959 song ‘Shout’.

The music had been pre-recorded at London’s IBC Studios on 19 April 1964, and The Beatles mimed during the show.
