Short description The Beatles record an edition of The Beatles (Invite You To Take A Ticket To Ride).
Location Studio One, BBC Picadilly Studios, London

It was apparent by 1965 that The Beatles no longer needed to make appearance on BBC radio in order to promote themselves, so this session was their fifty-second and last appearance on BBC radio recording music. Transmitted on the Light Programme as a "bank holiday" special on Whit Monday, June 7. The program lasted from 10:00 AM to 12:15 PM, fifteen minutes longer than usual. Because From Us To You didn't seem like an appropriate title considering how much The Beatles had changed musically since Spring 1963, they suggested a new title: The Beatles (Invite You To Take A Ticket To Ride). Recording took place on this date between 2:30 and 6:30 PM, rehearsal time included. They taped seven songs, including Ticket To Ride (played twice during the program, faded out after thirty-seven seconds at the beginning and played in full later in the program), Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby, I'm A Loser, The Night Before, Honey Don't, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, and She's A Woman. They also spoke with the host, musician and broadcaster Denny Piercy, but listeners generally thought that The Beatles did not speak enough when surveyed later, due to the fact that there were several guest artists in the 135-minute show. During a meeting with BBC radio executives, Brian Epstein promised that the group would record more bank holiday specialsduring 1965, on August 30 and December 26. However, despite this promise, The Beatles never recorded anything specifically for the BBC again.
