Just a year ago the Beatles were known only to patrons of Liverpool pubs. Today there isn't
a Britisher who doesn't know their names, and their fame has spread quickly around the
world.

roll. It's their own special sound, or, as group leader Lennon puts it, "Our music is
just -- well, our music.
Now the Beatles are getting a royal welcome in America. Ed Sullivan signed them for three
appearances in rapid sucession on his Sunday night TV show. They are shortly to film
in England a feature length United Artists movie for worldwide release.
