(Wednesday, August 26, 1964, approximately midnight PDT) — John Lennon of The Beatles was interviewed late tonight/early this morning by Jim Steck of KRLA-AM Los Angeles at Reginald Owen’s residence in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

During the candid conversation, Lennon detailed the band’s beginnings as a skiffle group and shared insights into his educational background.

Asked for a final word to Los Angeles listeners, Lennon quipped, “Good night and thanks for the bread,” capturing his sentiments about the tour.

This interview would later surface as the entire first side of the LP Hear the Beatles Tell All.
