The Beatles - 1963-04-01 - London, UK (FM)

1960s - #1:  On April 1, 1963, 62 years ago today, The Beatles recorded two radio appearances for for the BBC program "Side by Side."  Each week The Karl Denver Trio would host a guest group on the show, opening each program with the song Side by Side sung by the Trio and their guest act. The Beatles recorded only 1 version of "Side by Side", deciding to use the same recording for both programs.  For the first show, which would be broadcast on April 22, 1963, the Fab Four recorded I Saw Her Standing There, Do You Want To Know A Secret, Baby It's You, Please Please Me, From Me to You, and Misery. Unfortunately, no tape of that seems to exist. That said, this FM Broadcast, which originally aired on May 13, 1963, captures most of second show, Long Tall Sally, A Taste of Honey, Chains, Thank You Girl, and Boys.  From Me To You, however, is missing from the tape.
