28 January Today in Beatles History

1961 The Beatles perform at Lathom Hall, Seaforth, Liverpool, and at Aintree Institute, Aintree, Liverpool.

1962 The Beatles perform at the Casbah Coffee Club, West Derby, Liverpool.

1964: Travel: Lennon and Harrison fly from Paris to London

1963 – The Beatles perform at the Majestic Ballroom, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland.

1969 – The Beatles (with Billy Preston) in the recording studio (Apple Studios, London). Recording the songs for the next Beatles single, “Get Back” and “Don’t Let Me Down”. A re-make of “Love Me Do” (and a rather wretched one at that) is also recorded, as is “The One After 909”. A couple of Billy Preston demos are also recorded. Towards the end of the session, The Beatles’ taped conversation shows that things aren’t going very well–they discuss whether they should be recording or merely rehearsing, whether they should be filming or not, and even whether they should bother with the project any longer. Ringo is due to begin filming for the movie “Magic Christian” in just a few days, so the situation seems to be hopelessly muddled.

1994- US re-release of Beatles vinyl singles labeled ‘For Jukeboxes Only’: “Hey Jude/ Revolution” (blue vinyl); “Birthday/Taxman” (green vinyl); “A Hard Day’s Night/Things We Said Today” (white vinyl); “Something/Come Together” (blue vinyl); and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band/A Day in the Life” (clear vinyl). All released by Capitol/CEMA.
