  • Summary

  • Peter and Kenyon explore "Misery" from the Beatles' album "Please Please Me" in this episode. They discuss the band's groundbreaking approach of writing and performing their own material and the song's origin, initially penned by John Lennon for Helen Shapiro. While Peter expresses initial indifference towards the song, Kenyon appreciates its complex musical structure and Lennon's use of half steps to evoke a sense of desolation. The hosts touch on the recording process, including George Martin's pioneering half-speed overdubbing technique, and acknowledge the song's role in cementing the Beatles' legacy.
