The Beatles Dave Hull Unreleased Interview Reels
1965. Los Angeles radio legend, Dave Hull, a major Beatles booster at the height of Beatlemania, first interviewed the group during their summer ‘64 North American tour. After being aired on KRLA, portions of those interviews were released on Vee-jay Records “Hear The Beatles Tell All” in November 1964. Hull’s next encounter with The Beatles came in The Bahamas during the filming of “Help!” in late February and early March, 1965. Most of the interviews were conducted in a beach cabana on the movie’s set, while others were conducted on the beach itself. A final interview is conducted from the airport as The Beatles board a plane for London. Offered here are five one-of-a-kind open-reel tapes of excellent audio quality containing 85 minutes of interviews conducted by Dave Hull with all four members of the Beatles and their press officer, Derek Taylor. Of the 84 minutes of interviews, only 5 minutes have ever been aired or circulated. Full broadcast and reproduction rights will be transferred to the winning bidder of these historic interviews. The one and only set of reference cassettes made from the original reels also goes to the winning bidder. Reel #1 (19 minutes) includes a lengthy interview with John Lennon that gives insight into his family and life in general. A short interview with Ringo is interrupted as he is called to shoot a scene. Reel #2 (25 minutes) includes interviews with Ringo and Paul, while Derek Taylor interviews John and Ringo. The third reel (5 minutes) features John talking about his second book, “A Spaniard in the Works”, the plot of ‘Help’, his contribution to “I Saw Her Standing There”, and other songs. Paul talks to Derek on the progress of the filming. This interview segment was aired, presumably, on KRLA, soon after Hull’s return to Los Angeles. An additional 18 minutes are repeated from reel #2. Reel #4 (14 minutes) includes interviews by both Dave and Derek. George talks about his house and his privacy. Paul speaks about his dad. John and Paul discuss the plot of “Help!” John and Paul explain their songwriting process. John speaks about Cynthia and Julian, Ringo’s wedding, and who sings on “Rock & Roll Music”. Dave interviews Paul who gives a message to the fan. John and George are featured at length. An additional 10 minutes are repeated from reel #1. Reel #5 (21 minutes) features Dave’s interviews with all four of The Beatles discussing “A Hard Day’s Night”, Ringo’s marriage, Paul talking about Hull giving out the Beatles home addresses, and a short snippet with Brian Epstein. plus Written on the box is “Save for Dave Hull...do not erase on penalty of death.” The winning bidder will receive two signed statements from Dave Hull; each one transferring all broadcast and reproduction rights to the new owner. Also included are cue and timing sheets.
