Description

SKU GMCO049

In the mid 1960s, the late Roy Castle had a series of variety shows on BBC Television and Arthur Wilkinson (1924-1968) was his musical director. On one of the shows, the celebrity guest was ballet star Doreen Wells who asked if she could dance to music of the Beatles. It fell to Arthur Wilkinson to arrange Lennon/McCartney for use by a ballerina. He hit on the idea of using part of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite as a model; it was so popular that further movements were added for an EP recording and the complete Beatlecracker Suite is the result. All eight movements of the original Nutcracker Suite are here albeit with themes by Lennon and McCartney - just imagine the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to Can't buy me love . . . . .
