Smith Falls scoops Beatles releases

Smith Falls, Ontario had an RCA record plant that produced the first Beatles LPs and 45s in North America. The plant would send discs to CJET, the local radio station for airplay, and so they were the first radio station in North America to play the Beatles. 

Smiths Falls Heritage House Museum, 11 Old Slys Rd, Smiths Falls, ON has an exhibition of Beatles Memoriabilia. 

Mimic and comedian Rich Little was DJing at CJET in the Sixties - I don't know if he played anything by them.
