When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the Beatles

Kit O'Toole - the Queen of All Beatles Media (Talk More Talk), and Martin Quibell (Pods Like Us) join the show this week as we go deeper in-depth on the trailer to the forthcoming Peter Jackson's "The Beatles: Get Back" than some might have thought possible.    Roll on November!

A peek behind the scenes of A Hard Day's Night.     Richard Lester, Walter Shenson, Wilfrid Brambell, Alun Owen and many others came together at the behest of United Artists to shape a movie around the Beatles.     Owen and George Martin would even be nominated for an Academy Award in their respective areas.     A long way away from "Gutter Girls!"

Ringo released the "Change the World" EP on September 24.     This week, we dive into the songs, songwriters, and how these pieces fall together into the whole that is expected to hear next year.     We continue to "Rock Around the Clock" with a playlist of some of Ringo's pre-Beatlemania favorites that he has chosen to cover over the years.

Part two of our look at the singles of records.    Hits, misses and sounds that definitely fall in-between.     Would you believe Apple released a single on 78?    Even Allen Klein could not stop the multiple artists that Apple presented to the world during those years.     Say hello to Chris Hodge, everybody!

Week one of the "When They Was Fab" look at the singles on Apple Records.    This week:  Mary Hopkin, Jackie Lomax, Billy Preston, The Black Dyke Mills band and JOHNPAULGEORGE&RINGO - the foursome that started it all.      We discuss Richard DiLello delivering copies of this box set to Buckingham Palace, and the unique writing style of Derek Taylor.

The fifth (and final) week of our look at the fiftieth anniversary box set of "All Things Must Pass".     Sessions and jams.     Who is walking down lovers lane while "Those Wedding Bells" play?     Why could 2021 possibly be called "The Year of Get Back"?     All this and more on this edition of "When They Was Fab".

Week four of our look at ATMP.    This week, the day one demos.     Also a bit about the official announcement of the "Let It Be" box set, the songs Apple made available to the public, and Charlie Watts.    Hang on, only one more week before this (box set) too shall pass and we get some other topics before the year end rush of even more new product!    Om Hare Om!

We continue our graze through the "All Things Must Pass" box, and this time the wheel stops on LP2 and side 6 (aka "Apple Jam side 2").      We ponder the nature of life, the universe, "Jam Piece", fidelity (as used in both audio and marital terms) and the passing of one of the few remaining fifties rock legends.

Week two of our look at "All Things Must Pass".   This week, the first LP and side one of the "Apple Jams" box.     George, Eric, Bobby Whitlock and Friends galore.    What was George doing in 1970, and how did it end up as a three record set?

On August 6, 2021 UMe and George Harrison presented the fiftieth anniversay remix of "All Things Must Pass" in multiple versions.     This week, we look at disc four (better known as "Day 2" or "Beware of ABKCO") from the streaming, 5CD, 8LP and Uber editions of this set.      Nearly an hour of George Harrison, occsionally a bass player and Phil Spector listening in the booth.
