No no - Australia is ahead of the UK. Because of the time change, by the time that Ticket to Ride appeared in Australian record shops, it was already 1966.

Ticket to Ride came out in 1965. He said he saw them in 1964. He's making all of this up.

Reminds me of Schoenberg's Mondestrunken. The refrain is more conventional, but the verse is pretty atonal, which is amazing for a song that reached #1 on the pop charts
