Thank you Iain, that was the point that I was trying to make but being too lazy to include the YouTube link.

Radio 1 started at 0700 so Theme One was played on the Light Programme and NOT Radio 1. I think that that puts paid to the George Martin argument winning.

Still, does it really matter? Not a jot.

The "trouble" was the publicity for the record featuring a naked Wilson, which led to a libel action by the prime minister.

One reason, perhaps, why that PM was never likely to leap to the defence of anyone in the band! Although Wilson was the type that could have done. He did procure MBEs for the Beatles.
