IN THE EARLY SIXTIES, CAPITOL PREPARED A SERIES OF COMPILATION ALBUMS THAT FEATURED ONE OR TWO RECENT SELECTIONS BY SEVERAL OF THE COMPANY'S RECORDING ARTISTS. THE FIRST OF THESE RECORDS, "CHARTBUSTERS" (CAPITOL (S)T1837) CONTAINED HITS FROM NAT KING COLE, THE KINGSTON TRIO AND THE BEACH BOYS. WITH THE BEATLES POPULARITY, IT WAS ONLY NATURAL FOR THE LABEL TO PLACE THE GROUP'S SONGS ON SUCH RECORDS.

THE FIRST CAPITOL COMPILATION ALBUM TO FEATURE THE BEATLES WAS "CHARTBUSTERS, VOLUME 4", (IMAGES OF THE FIRST THREE "CHARTBUSTERS" RELEASES CAN BE SEEN ON THE BACK COVER) WHICH CONTAINS THE SONGS FROM THE BAND'S FIRST CAPITOL SINGLE I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND AND I SAW HER STANDING THERE. THE RECORD ALSO CONTAINS DONNA LYNN'S MY BOYFRIEND GOT A BEATLE HAIRCUT.

Murray Kaufman, professionally known as Murray the K, was an influential rock and roll impresario and disc jockey of the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. Murray reached his peak of popularity in the mid-1960s when, as the top-rated 'WINS' radio host in New York City, he became an early and ardent supporter and friend of The Beatles. When the Beatles came to New York on February 7, 1964, Murray was the first DJ they welcomed into their circle, having heard about him and his Brooklyn Fox shows from American groups such as the Ronettes, WHO HAD met the Beatles in mid January 1964.

He came to be referred to as the "Fifth Beatle," a moniker he said he was given either by GEORGE Harrison during the train ride to the Beatles' first concert in Washington D.C. or by Ringo Starr at a press conference before that concert. (However, in "The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit" documentary, he is seen christening himself this in a phone conversation with the Beatles on the morning of their arrival in New York). He was invited to the set of "A Hard Day's Night" AND "HELP!" and made several treks to England during 1964, giving 'WINS' listeners more Beatle exclusives.

Throughout his New York radio career, Kaufman produced multi-racial rock 'n' roll shows three or four times a year, usually during the Easter school recess, the week before Labor Day, and between Christmas and New Year at the Brooklyn Fox Theater. Those shows featured the top performers of the era and introduced new acts, such as Dionne Warwick, The Shirelles, Chuck Jackson, The Zombies, Little Anthony & The Imperials, JUST TO NAME A FEW.

PRESENTED HERE IS AN ORIGINAL BROOKLYN FOX THEATRE 1964 "MURRAY THE K'S XMAS SHOW" PROGRAM IN BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE 24 PAGE PROGRAM MEASURES 12" X 9", AND IS LOADED WITH PHOTOS OF THE CURRENT ACTS AND record company ADVERTISEMENTS. there are three "beatles related" pages of interest.
