Debuted at #87 week-ending March 21, 1964, 3 week playing the Billboard Singles chart, “A Letter To The Beatles”, climbs to #85 (final week on chart), week-ending, April 4, 1964.
Note: According to Wikipedia, however, after 3 weeks on the chart, the single was soon deleted by Capitol after Duchess Music, the publisher of “I Want to Hold Your Hand”, refused to give permission for the group’s parody version having already been released on the Capitol label.
Decades later, the deleted parody single would eventually find its way on a Four Preps compilation CD.
