More Beatles Magic!

What’s thought to be the earliest surviving Beatles interview from 1964 has been found in south London.  Beatles historians say it is the earliest surviving interview in which Lennon and McCartney talk about how they met and discuss the songwriting process. The nine and a half minute video was recorded for a television programme broadcast in Scotland but has never been seen or heard in the rest of the UK.  Many believe it a miracle that the footage survived at all - for some 40 years it was stored in a rusty can in a damp garage, unopened, unloved and almost thrown away - until finally someone took a look inside and found the hidden gem.  During the interview John Lennon explains how he met Paul McCartney for the first time at a village fete in Liverpool.
