Brian Matthew joined The Beatles entourage from the August 15th - August 20th 1965 
to report on this stage of the group's North American tour. 
Brian Epstein gave permission to the BBC Transcription Service to record interviews 
with The Beatles for a documentary programme. The material taped was compiled 
into a 45 minute documentary "The Beatles Abroad" broadcast by the Light Programme 
on Monday August 30th 1965 - a bank holiday in England, Wales. Northern Ireland 
and the Channel Islands. Scotland did not hear the broadcast until 
Monday January 3rd 1966. 

Previously this has only appeared in poor quality on Strawberry Records' 
impressive Mythology box set in edited form. Here is the complete broadcast 
in best quality to date! This version originates from a reel to reel tape, 
and was missing the first two seconds containing the words "The Beatles Abroad", 
which were spliced in from the Strawberry release of the same show. Just to make 
this the most complete version.

As bonustracks we have included a portion of the recently discovered tape of 
The Beatles appearing on Jukebox Jury as rebroadcasted by the BBC on May 4th 2002, 
and an interview where Paul gets a bit carried away with revealing the plot to Help...
