Jim Steck, a radio newsman with KRLA in Los Angeles, and Dave Hull, a popular disc jockey with the same station, each conducted interviews with the Beatles during their 1964 American tour. After portions of these interviews were aired on KRLA, Vee-Jay approached the pair and reached an agreement to release the interviews on an album.
Originally was issued in America by Vee Jay Records in November, 1964 (Vee-Jay PRO 202). In 1979, a resurrected Vee-Jay International re-issued the record in a stereo cover prepared from the album’s original artwork. Although the cover has the words “STEREO” at the top, the record neither has stereo markings not play stereo.
But England had to wait until 20th February 1981 before the same album was released here. By that time of course, most interested U.K. Beatle fans already owned a U.S. import copy.

Release:  February 20, 1981. The envelope is a complete copy of the 1979 American edition. Was even saved the logo of Vee Jay. In order not to mislead the buyers with pictures of other albums of Vee Jay Records, on the reverse side there was appeared inscription “Unfortunately these records are not availabel on Charly”.

Record has blue labels. Matrix numbers (hand-etched): Side A: CRV 202 A-1 =BOPPIN BOB=; Side B: CRV 202 B-1 EG =De Lane Lea=.
