The novelty songs were not always complimentary


Many of the Beatles novelties were tongue in cheek and a favorite subject was the suggestion that they go back home and leave America in peace!
The Tollie label was a sub of Vee Jay who had licensed Beatles product along with Swan until Capitol came to their senses.
Vee Jay were allowed to issue Beatles product for a year after Capitol and flogged it for all it was worth putting out an "interview" album and one suggesting the Beatles had appeared on stage with Frank Ifield!
With the B.R.A.T.T.S the subject matter was decidedly anti-Beatles -thanks for all the money you made us now go home!!
