In 1963-64, I was in grade 9. What was played on CBC Radio during a Saturday program fall ’63, in rapidly unfolding order were the singles for:
Love Me Do
Please Please Me
From Me to You/Thank You Girl
She Loves You.
At the same time the Beatlemania with the Beatles album was released that November 25.
(In passing, JFK’s assassination occurred on Nov. 22. The album came out the same day as his burial.)
On February 3, 1964, they released Twist and Shout, which had actually been their first UK album in March ’63.
On Feb. 9, ’64, they appeared for the first time on the Ed Sullivan Show.
