On Friday March 25 1966 Tom Lodge interviewed The Beatles. An edited version of the interview appeared on Sound Of The Stars, a 7” single offered to
promote the launch of Disc & Music Echo. This new magazine was created by a merger between Music Echo (the former Mersey Beat) and IPC's Disc. The first edition was published on
23rd April 1966.
