Lot Essay

Although the acts in Around the Beatles gave the appearance of a live performance, they were in fact miming to a pre-taped soundtrack. All the musical participants in the production assembled at the IBC studios on Sunday, April 19th, 1964 for a 10.00am - 8.30pm session. Second engineer/tape op. was Glyn Johns, destined to be engineer/producer for the Beatles' Get Back/Let It Be album.
