November 63 - Part Two

As the Beatles move through the month, beyond the Royal Variety Performance they continue to pack houses up and down the UK.

What recordings are waiting in the wings? I Want To Hold Your Hand and With The Beatles. Not too shabby.

S02E09: 1974 - Part One

At the end of 1973, the stage was set for a year of Beatle activity. The Ringo album had shown a way for the Fab Four to work together, and a little record called Band On The Run came out. John & Paul were communicating again, and George is going out on the road. What could possibly go wrong..?

S02E08: Fifth Beatles

There have been many claims to the title of Fifth Beatle since the phrase first appeared in 1964. Is it possible to define what it means and who is the most deserving of the accolade? Can there really be only one true Fifth Beatle? Did the Fab Four themselves ever agree on the true Fifth Fab?

S02E07: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Part Two

Once the Beatles had Sgt Pepper recorded, the album still had to be delivered to the outside world. The album appeared all over the world at the perfect time, in the perfect sleeve. For 53 years the question has been: Is Sgt Pepper perfect? The answer...

S02E06: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Part One

When the Beatles put out their eighth album in May 1967, the consensus was that nobody needed to release any more records ever - it was just that good. In this episode, the first of two parts, Steven & Jason look at how the album came together.

S02E05: Ringo: The Album

In 1973, Ringo gave the people what they wanted: an album that featured the Fab Four, just not all necessarily playing on the same song at the same time. Ringo (the album) is the manifestation of everything Ringo (The Beatle) does best. Hugely successful at the time, it looked like the dawn of a new era ...

S02E03: Paperback Writers 2: More Beatle Books

It’s been a year since we looked at books about the Beatles, and still there’s a lot more to talk about. What’s new; what’s coming soon; what did we forget to mention last year; books about people who were about the Beatles; and of course, the books to avoid.
