A special Beatle-head plaque was given to the hit British act on their home ground with special Billboard achievement awards. Awards were shown on TV in the picture are Bobby Vee, Paul McCartney (holding Beatle-head), John Lennon, Dusty Springfield, deejay Keith Fordyce, and holding the achievement wards (sic), BB European director, Andre de Vekey.
I guess this newspaper photo and caption didn't feel like Ringo was worth mentioning?
