Description

Beatles Picture Disc:

The Beatles Talk Downunder

Limited Edition. Extremely rare interview disc. Original plastic sleeve.

Over 60 minutes long, this album was more a document of the Beatles 1964 antipodean tour. The album captures the words of the Fab Four as they made their way through the madness of a continent obsessed with all they had to offer. From the sharp cockiness of the early press conferences to the fatigued boredom of later interviews.

Originally released on Raven Records in Australia in 1981, this limited edition picture disc was issued in 1982 by Goughsound Ltd, England. Catalogue No. PGP 5001.

Beautiful pictures of the boys in Australia – including a shot of them playing didgeridoos!
