1963	Having contracted for 11 more radio programs of the series "Pop Go the Beatles", The Beatles go to Studio 5 of Maida Vale Studios in London to tape program #5 (there were 4 previous editions of the program). They record a cover version of Elvis Presley's "That's All Right (Mama)", which was a rip-off of Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup's song "My Baby Left Me". Other songs recorded for the program were "There's a Place", Chuck Berry's "Carol", Arthur Alexander's "Soldier of Love", Carl Perkins' "Lend Me Your Comb", and the Jodimars' "Clarabella".

The Beatles guests for this program were Duffy Power & the Graham Bond Quartet. Broadcast on July 16. Several recordings from this day are included on the 1994 Beatles double-CD "Live at the BBC": "That's All Right (Mama)", "Carol", "Soldier of Love", and "Clarabella" (Disc one, Tracks 15-19). "Lend Me Your Comb" is included on "The Beatles Anthology 1" (Disc 1, Track 27).
