1964 that was pulled after Capitol Records got a Cease & Desist order).

'Interview of The Fab Four' was Bobby Poe's idea. He recalled the Buchanan & Goodman hits of the late 50's where they took excerpts of hit songs to tell a story. I met Bobby in the Spring of '64. He had a hit with The Chartbusters', 'She's The One'.

I had written a song called, 'Breaking Hearts To Him Is Just A Game',
co-written with Don "Pee Wee" Reese (Riis). Don was working with me at 'PGC at the time. I had found a couple of girls who called themselves, The
Delights. They were from Hyattsville, MD. We recorded a demo at the
station, and I took it to Bobby. He loved it. He placed it with Arlen
Records out of Philadelphia.

Bobby and I wrote the script to 'Interview', and we recorded it at Edgewood
Studios in DC. Ed Greene was the engineer. He went on to become the chief recording engineer for The Cowsills. The Chartbusters were in the studio at the same time, working on a followup to 'She's The One'. Bobby knew that I had written several songs, and he asked if I could write something really quick so that The Chartbusters could back me up.

I wrote 'I Feel So Fine' in about 20 minutes, and it sounds like it!
Bobby placed the record with World Artists Records out of NYC. They were
hot with Chad & Jeremy, and Reparata & The Delrons. They released it on
American Arts Records. 'Interview' was out about 2 weeks, and we got a "Cease & Desist" order from Brian Epstein.
