* The Beatles arrive at JFK airport
* United States invasion begins
This 12 page newspaper has a one column headline on page 4: "Reception For Beatles Is Delirious".
Great report on the Beatles famous arrival at JFK airport in New York City. (see photos for entire text)
A great addition for any Beatles collection. Strangely this article sits beside another, totally unrelated report involving Elvis Presley with photo. Elvis was at his peak career wise and the Beatles were just arriving in America.
Other news of the day. A few small binding holes along the spine, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes: On 7 February 1964, The Beatles took off for their first trip to the United States as a group.[49] They were accompanied by photographers, journalists (including Maureen Cleave), and Phil Spector, who had booked himself on the same flight.[50] When the group arrived at New York's newly renamed John F. Kennedy Airport, they were greeted by a large crowd. The airport had never experienced such a crowd, estimated at about 3,000 fans.[51]
The Beatles as they arrive at JFK Airport, New York City on 7 February 1964
After a press conference, The Beatles were driven to New York City. On the way, McCartney turned on a radio and listened to a running commentary: "[The Beatles] have just left the airport and are coming to New York City..."[52] After reaching the Plaza Hotel, they were besieged by fans and reporters. Harrison had a fever of 102 °F (39 °C) the next day and was ordered to stay in bed, so Neil Aspinall replaced him for the band's first rehearsal for their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
