What A Night That Day Was! - foreign editions of A Hard Day’s Night … in praise of the Latin Playboys … the mid-‘60s mystery album that outsold the Beatles … and we name the root of all ills in popular music!Help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourearHelp us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock'n'Roll going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
