SPECIAL NOTES:  No airplay on #39.

The album cuts are from "The Beatles Second Album" and the UK 
version of "A Hard Day's Night," respectively.

WABC noted that the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" was #1 in England, 
thus meriting airplay on Radio 77.  In the meantime, they 
continued to announce "I'll Be Back" as the next Beatles single.

Other Beatles notes from WABeatleC:  "The Beatles are back in 
England after a one-month stay in the U.S."..."They left [21 
September 1964]"..."Last weekend, WABC tracked the Beatles down at 
the Riviera Hotel, where they decided to stay instead of the 
Garden City Hotel"..."Interviews will follow."
