February 9, 1969:  The Yellow Submarine soundtrack had been in stores for less than a month. The Apple rooftop concert had taken place nine days earlier.  Abbey Road hadn’t even been _recorded_ yet.  But New York’s vanguard FM radio station was wasting no time in getting a head start on all the decades of tiresome, oxygen-hogging Beatles nostalgia to come. 

(Fact: two of the three covers of Eleanor Rigby included in the show [Joan Baez, Vanilla Fudge] are basically unlistenable to anyone without an AARP card.)
