Meet The Beatles, Again

Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4228375

It's been almost 52 years since The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, turning the flame of Beatlemania into a raging inferno. 

Penelope Rowlands remembers well... she not only got to see The Beatles back then, she was captured for all time in a photograph of girls hooting for their idols. 

Penelope grew up to become a writer, and the editor of The Beatles Are Here, a collection of stories about the Fab Four's time in the spotlight.  We revisit this interview from the 50th anniversary of the Sullivan appearance.
