The Beatles, live on the BBC - two programmes aired on 7th December 1963
By the end of 1963, Britain was firmly in the grip of Beatlemania.
On December 7th the quartet visited Liverpool, where they performed a special edition of Juke Box Jury in front of 2500 hysterical members of their fan club, then performed in front of them for a subsequent TV concert broadcast entitled It's The Beatles, prompting Brian Epstein to joke that, for a night, BBC stood for 'Beatles Broadcasting Corporation'.
The visuals for the former are sadly lost, but the audio of both programmes is presented here, together with background notes and images.
