You've read about them in Time, Newsweek, The New York Times.
Here's the big beat sound of that fantastic, phenomenal foursome:
MEET
THE  BEATLES

A year ago the Beatles were known only to patrons of Liverpool pubs. 
Today there isn’t a Britisher who doesn’t know their names, and their fame 
has spread quickly around the world.
 Said one American visitor to England: “Only a hermit could be unaware 
of the Beatles, and he’d have to be beyond range of television, news-­
papers, radio, records and rioting fans.”
 Said another: “They’re the biggest, hottest property in the history of 
English show business.”
 The foursome — John Lennon, 23, George Harrison, 20, Ringo Starr, 
23, and Paul McCartney, 21 — write, play and sing a powerhouse music 
filled with zest and uninhibited good humor that make listening a sen­-
sation-filled joy. It isn’t rhythm and blues. It’s not exactly rock ’n’ roll. 
It’s their own special sound, or, as group leader Lennon puts it, “Our 
music is just — well, our music."
 Whatever it is, the Beatles’ robust, roaring sound has stimulated a re-­
action the English themselves describe as “Beatlemania.”
 Consider these manifestations:
 In Newcastle, England, four thousand fans stood all night in pouring 
rain to get tickets for a Beatles appearance.
 In Portsmouth, the queue started 90 hours before the box office opened. 
Teenagers brought food, drink, blankets and transistor radios, and two 
determined 16-year-old girls spent four nights outside to hold their place 
in the queue.
 In Carlisle, frantic schoolgirls battled police for four hours in a do-or- 
die effort to gain admission to a sold-out show.
 In Dublin, Ireland, the Beatles’ first visit set off a mob free-for-all re-­ 
sulting in unnumbered broken limbs.
 At London Airport, reporter Anne Butler had her gloved hand kissed 
repeatedly by youngsters who saw it accidentally brush against the back 
of a Beatle.
 Similar wild enthusiasm has greeted the Beatles in such disparate 
places as Sweden (where frenzied girls swarmed up onto the stage), 
Germany, Finland and France, and the acclaim recently brought them one 
of the highest of all entertainment honors: an appearance before Princess 
Margaret, the Queen Mother and Lord Snowdon at the Royal Variety Per-­
formance in London.
 And their records? In America, a total sale of a million discs calls for 
celebrations, gold records, trade news headlines and delirious self-con-
gratulations. A recent Beatles recording had an advance order of a million 
copies in the United Kingdom three weeks before release. And simulta-
neously the Beatles occupied positions 1 and 2 in the hit singles charts 
and 1 and 2 in the album charts — a phenomenal achievement anywhere.
 Now the Beatles are getting a royal welcome in America. Ed Sullivan 
signed them for three appearances in rapid succession on his Sunday 
night TV show. They are shortly to film in England a feature length United 
Artists movie for worldwide release.
 And here is their first Capitol record — twelve of their most sensational 
songs in their wildest Beatlemanic style!

　右側にはソングリストが掲載され，その下には下記の文章が記されています。
The Beatles all hail from Liverpool, a seaport city which, because its sailing men bring in the latest hit singles 
from America, is the hippest pop music spot in England. They wear “pudding basin” haircuts that date back to
ancient England, and suits with collarless jackets which they’ve made the newest rage. John Lennon plays 
rhythm guitar and harmonica, George Harrison lead guitar, Paul McCartney electric bass guitar, Ringo Starr 
drums, and all four of the boys sing. They also work piano, Hammond organ, tambourine, mouth organ, Arabian 
bongoes and claves into their act. That’s John doing the lead vocal in It Won’t Be Long and All I’ve Got To Do 
and the double-track solo in Not a Second Time. Paul does the lead vocal in All My Loving and Hold Me Tight, 
and the solo in Till There Was You. Ringo is soloist in I Wanna Be Your Man and George in Don’t Bother Me, 
double-tracked.
