Vee Jay was gonna milk that cash cow for all it was worth.  They had repackaged the Introducing The Beatles tracks to the hilt and released this interview album at the end of 1964.  My copy was a 1979 repress.  Who knows if it was "legit."   This album of interviews recorded in 1964 was actually a pretty fun listen.  The one interesting thing of note was session extraordinaire Hal Blaine drums throughout the record to intro, outro and punctuate different parts of the interviews.

The most pressing questions seemed to be if the girlfriends were going to become wives.  Paul swears up and down that Jane Asher was just his girlfriend and they were not getting married.  They in fact never married, but Jane split from him in 1968.  The other names thrown out to the other Beatles were well known as first wives all later divorced in the folklore.  None of the others admitted to a pending marriage.  Ringo doesn't even acknowledge Maureen initially.  Those celebrities and their "space." 

The interviewers were LA radio personality Dave Hull and Jim Steck.  Hull was a bit more famous. but both were on KRLA during the time of the interviews.  Steck might have had the more interesting series of questions since he only had John Lennon to deal with.  Hair length, US vs UK radio, US vs Canada fans (New Zealand was a bit rough yanking a large clump of hair out of Lennon) and US venue size (20,000) vs UK (2,000).

20,000 was only for Football in the UK, Lennon reveals.
