Amanda Burton (UK tv star) : I won my copy of Day Tripper in a Daily Mail competition. You had to match The Beatles with their wives or girlfriends. I was thrilled. Having my own record made me feel grown up. Every night, my three older sisters would gather in the kitchen to listen to Radio Luxembourg. I was supposed to be in bed, but I'd be on the stairs, listening in the dark. If anyone came out, I'd scurry upstairs.
Fred Norris (reviewer, Evening Mail) : The half-hour appearance by The Beatles was one long ear-aching, head-reeling blast. Shrieking struggling girls were carried back to their seats. It was absolute pandemonium - some of the worst scenes I have witnessed in a theatre. If this is modern 'live' entertainment one understands why The Beatles themselves spent most of their time backstage, watching television.
