The sessions were recorded in 1974 with the new version of Wings featuring Jimmy McCullough and Geoff Britton, right after the release of the "Junior's Farm" single. We talk about the packaging, the music, the history, and much more. Enjoy!

Our video venture: "Song Album Career!"

In this episode, we dig into one of the most famous Beatles gigs, the "Royal Variety Performance" in London on November 4, 1963. This was the gig where John Lennon said his famous lines asking the Royals to "rattle [their] jewelry." We go into the background behind the performance, discuss the other performers (the Beatles were the seventh act on the show!), and analyze the four songs the Beatles played.

Here's the performance.

We also discuss One Hand Clapping a bit as a preview for our next episode, and answer some listener questions. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we review Ringo Starr's recently released EP, Crooked Boy. We discuss the importance (and benefits) of the album having one creative leader, in this case Linda Perry, and give our thoughts on the lyrics and music of each of the four songs. How does Crooked Boy relate to Ringo's earlier EPs?

We go back into the lab to dissect the Beatles' 1969 song "Old Brown Shoe," first known as the B-side of "The Ballad of John and Yoko." This is a great George Harrison track filled with quirky lyrics, as well as complex, yet grooving music. We discuss the lyrics, music, who plays drums on the song, cover versions, and more. And then Chris shares a rant about Record Store Day, and we catch up on all the latest Beatles-related releases.

In this episode, we examine "lost" songs -- those the Beatles wrote as a group and/or solo that never got an official release, or may truly be lost -- and talk about what we'd like to see happen. We'll discuss Ringo's "lost" 1987 album, two albums from Paul, some early Beatles/Quarrymen songs, and much more.

Enjoy!

Amazingly, after 12 years of doing this podcast, we've never done a full track-by-track analysis of the Paul McCartney and Wings 1973 album, Band on the Run. We give an overview of the album's genesis and history, go through the songs, discuss the many reissues, landing on the 50th anniversary edition (with the "underdubbed" mixes) released in February 2024. Is it Paul's best album?

We also discuss some upcoming Beatles-related releases for Record Store Day, a new Sean Lennon album, and the relaunch of our video podcast.
