How could they fail with an intro like this? :
Before playing their first couple of numbers, host of (Steppin’ Out) Diz Disley, introduced the Beatles – “We have here four young fellas who, since they emerged from thetrackless interior of Merseyside a mere matter of months ago, have been layin ‘em in the aisles all over the Isles – from Land’s End to John O’Groats – so mind your backs, wacks, for it’s the earth-shaking sounds of the Beatles!”
