Beatlemania at the Library

A Hard Day's Night: The Music & The Movie
The only Beatles album to exclusively feature Lennon/McCartney songs, A Hard Day's Night is both the product of Beatlemania and the beginning of its end. The lecture analyzes the album and film, citing musical and historical precedents, and illustrating their development through excerpts from interviews with the band members and clips of discarded takes. Arrive early and stay after to hear Dr. Spin, the world's only all vinyl D.J.
