The Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust I PATRO HER MAJESTY the QUEEN ,/~~~~Sit° ~.-L DEPARTMENTOF RAILWAYS,NEW SOUTHWALES Sonaething to Benaeniber A visit to the theatre is a highlight in our lives. It is a pleasant experience to remember, sometimes for many years. A Sunday one-day train tour is also something to remember. It enables you to see hundreds of miles of rural scenery under ideal conditions. The long-distance tours are made in air-conditioned expresses hauled by diesel electric locomotives. On these tours you may see Canberra in the Spring and Autumn, Goulburn at lilac time, Oran ge when the cherry blossoms are at their best, and Scone during its Floral Festival. Some tours are for longer periods--a week-end at Kosciusko and the Snowy Mountains or a week on the semi-tropical North Coast. Inquire about these special tours a/ your nearest railway station. i]Jru:a··~!..........§1 .•r--nii& ~~>~ ~ t(1 <-1 <9 0" ,.....

Just one month after they exploded onto the U.S. scene with their Ed Sullivan Show appearance, John, Paul, George, and Ringo began working on a project that would bring their revolutionary talent to the big screen. A Hard Day’s Night, in which the bandmates play wily, exuberant versions of themselves, captured the astonishing moment when they officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation and changed music forever. Directed with raucous, anything-goes verve by Richard Lester and featuring a slew of iconic pop anthems, including the title track, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “I Should Have Known Better,” and “If I Fell,” A Hard Day’s Night, which reconceived the movie musical and exerted an incalculable influence on the music video, is one of the most deliriously entertaining movies of all time.

    U.S. Archives of . Updated December 13, 2018 Dick Baker, USA Archivist Quality Legend A – excellent B – good C – acceptable D – poor I – incomplete—music edited out Version Notes Beginning with the Fifth Series in 1954, Goon Show studio sessions were recorded simultaneously by the Light Programme and Transcription Service departments. At LP the show’s producer edited the recording for airplay a few days later (this version is abbreviated Orig here, so as not to be confused with commercial LP disc releases). At TS, a staff producer edited the recording for overseas use (TSO here, but the O is for original), shortening the shows up to two minutes (generally excising topical comments that might confuse and wog jokes that might offend). Then, in the 1960s, TS mounted an extensive reissue series (TSR here) called “Pick of the Goons” for overseas radio stations. This is the series that has been played on many NPR stations in the U.S., although confusion was caused when TS sent 20 shows from the TSO series to NPR labeled “Pick of the Goons” using numbers that would later be reused for their TS Reissue series. The TSR shows evidently were reedits of the original recordings, since in many cases lines are present that had been cut from the original TS release. In general, though, TS again was on the lookout for topical comments and wog jokes. In recent years, demon audio engineer Ted Kendall has done near-perfect restorations of many shows, pulling together all extant sources to produce recordings that are sometimes even more complete than the original UK broadcast.

The scripts mixed ludicrous plots with surreal humourpuns, catchphrases and an array of bizarre sound effects. Some of the later episodes feature electronic effects devised by the fledgling BBC Radiophonic Workshopmany of which were reused by other shows for decades. Many elements of the show satirised contemporary life in Britain, parodying aspects of show business, commerce, industry, art, politics, diplomacy, the police, the military, education, class structure, literature and film.
