A Letter to the Beatles
1964 single by The Four Preps
"A Letter to the Beatles" is a novelty song by the Four Preps.[1] It was released as a single on March 9, 1964, by Capitol Records who had both the Beatles and the Four Preps signed to their roster.
"A Letter to the Beatles" rose to number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100; however, the single was soon deleted by Capitol after Duchess Music, the publisher of "I Want to Hold Your Hand", refused to give permission for a parody version.[2] The recording was later included on a compilation CD by the Four Preps.
