Because they were first in the US, they were on minor labels that couldn't promote them properly.<BR/>When they were successful in the US, the minor labels re-released what they had the rights to. So those songs were on:<BR/>1) Capitol<BR/>2) Vee-Jay<BR/>3) Swan<BR/>4) Capitol<BR/>5) Vee-Jay<BR/>This is not to minimize the accomplishment, just to note that it'll almost certainly never happen again.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-13007987500930822512007-04-05T10:00:00.000-04:002007-04-05T10:00:00.000-04:00Please note: this is National Public Health Week!!...Please note: this is National Public Health Week!!!!<BR/><BR/>A reader pointed out that on April 4, 1964, the Beatles held all five of the top five slots on the Billboard Top 100 chart. That feat had never been done before and has never been matched since. Bonnie was also aware of how obsessive I am about folks knowing their numbers.<BR/>Which of course reminds me, do you know what your blood pressure is. In case you don't know what the five songs were, I will list them below.<BR/>Your blood pressure numbers will require a bit of effort. Although opportunities abound you may wish to check to see if those automatic machines have been calibrated.<BR/><BR/>So here are the Beatles Best as of 4/4/'64...<BR/>1.) Can't Buy Me Love<BR/>2.) Twist and Shout<BR/>3.) She Loves You<BR/>4.) I Want to Hold Your Hand<BR/>5.) Please Please Me<BR/><BR/>"Life is like a cob web, not an organization chart." -H. Ross Perot<BR/><BR/>"How monotonous the sounds of the forest would be if the music came only from the Top Ten birds." -Dan Bennett<BR/><BR/>"There are two means of refuge from the misery of life -- music and cats."<BR/>-Albert Schweitzer<BR/><BR/>"My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence."<BR/>-Edith<BR/>Sitwell<BR/><BR/>"One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music." -Thomas Carlyle<BR/><BR/>"April prepares her green traffic light, and the world thinks GO!"<BR/>-Christopher Morley<BR/><BR/>"When I go to the beauty parlor, I always use the emergency entrance.<BR/>Sometimes I just go for the estimate." -Phyllis Diller<BR/><BR/>"Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain."<BR/>-Edward<BR/>De Bono<BR/><BR/><BR/>And now a word from our sponsor, as I have stated, this is National Public Health Week and the theme is preparedness. Today you could put that theme into practice by checking out your employer's policy regarding emergencies.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." -Benjamin Franklin<BR/><BR/>"First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst." -Dale Carnegie<BR/><BR/>"First, I prepare. Then I have faith." -Joe Namath<BR/><BR/>"I will prepare and some day my chance will come." -Abraham Lincoln<BR/><BR/>"If you are prepared, you will be confident, and will do the job." -Tom LandryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-26794882980206538332007-04-04T07:04:00.000-04:002007-04-04T07:04:00.000-04:00The last verse of "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by...The last verse of "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2 always comes to mind on this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
