SPECIAL NOTE:  The "First and Exclusive" was represented not as 
the new Beatles single, but as from the soon-to-be released LP, 
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."  Once again, clearance 
difficulties arose immediately with Capitol Records, forcing WABC 
to take the song (which was titled "A Day in the Life" on the 
album) off the air on Wednesday, 19 April 1967, the first day it 
was aired!
