I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast! – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The Beatles: Live at the BBC was released in 1994. The album contained 50+ tracks from some of the 50+ programs the Beatles played on for the BBC during 1962-65. The album was a big hit, selling over 8 million copies, and it was a particular favorite for Dave and Chris who waited in line at a Best Buy in Champaign-Urbana, IL to buy it and get a free poster! We talk about the album, choose our top 10 songs from the album, choose some of the songs that didn't work very well (usually because of the sound quality), and much more. If you haven't pulled out the album in years, now would be a great time to do so! It was also remastered in 2013, so you could get that version as well.

Our video venture: "Song Album Career!"

We're back from our summer break with our deep dive into the remix/super deluxe release of John Lennon's 1973 album Mind Games that came out last month. We've never discussed the actual album before, so we begin with a full track-by-track, keeping in mind the current remixing. We then talk about each of the remaining discs, evaluate the content, and hear some listener responses to the album's reissue. We hope you enjoy our lengthier discussion about this set and Mind Games in the context of John Lennon's solo music.

Enjoy!

Our video venture: "Song Album Career!"

In this episode we go back into the lab to discuss John Lennon's 1972 song "New York City." Found on his double album Sometime in New York City, this song has been described as "journalese" and the "son of The Ballad of John and Yoko." We discuss some of the people mentioned in the lyrics, the production and music, and much more. We also tease our next episode on Band on the Run. And what did Ringo say about his upcoming album plans?

Here's the cover song we mentioned:

In this episode we look at the life and career of songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Denny Laine, who died in December 2023. Along with Paul and Linda, Denny was the only constant member of Wings during the 1970s, but he was also involved to varying degrees with many other groups throughout his life. We end the episode talking about the upcoming Band on the Run reissue, which Denny certainly played and sang on.
