Expanded 5x within a week of nomination. Nominator has less than 5 nominations so no QPQ required. Only a small quibble with ALT1, the article says that the Beatles played songs they never recorded for EMI (as opposed to "for their albums" in the hook), though as far as I know all of the Beatles' albums were recorded with EMI so should be fine. Either way I prefer the primary hook to ALT1. Looks good to go! 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Daily Mail's bad rep !
editThis info is genuine but I cannot find another reliable source. I leave it here in case I get confirmation:
Margaret Ashworth, then a teenager in 1963, recorded eleven of the fifteen complete episodes using her father's VHF radio plugged directly into a reel-to-reel tape recorder. These higher quality recordings were used for the compilation album Live at the BBC issued in 1994. She would be thanked by name in the album notes.>Ashworth, Margaret (Mai 17, 2022). "How a besotted Beatles superfan who made amateur bedroom recordings of the band's 1960s hits ended up with a personalised thank you on their hit BBC album three decades later". Daily Mail.
