We're back with our first new episode for May! We're going a bit different for this one. Beatle focused. This week we welcome Journalist Al Sussman (Beatlefan Magazine, contributor to Bruce Spizer books and Things We Said Today original cohost), and Ethan Alexanian (Fans On The Run Podcast) to discuss the differences between the US and UK versions of Rubber Soul. Most boomers/first generation American fans remain loyal to the US. However depending on when you first introduced to it you may have a different take. Did you discover it during the CD era when all the markets was changed to reflect the UK release? Or were you a Baby Boomer who bought it in 1965? Al Sussman: https://www.beatle.net/meet-al-sussman/ Ethan's Podcast: https://fansontherun.podbean.com/ See ya next week Tom & Andy

Recorded at the August 2022 Fest for Beatles Fans in Chicago, TMT's Kit O'Toole moderated an all-star panel for a live "Wrack Our Brains." Authors Chuck Gunderson, Piers Hemmingsen, Al Sussman, and Ken Womack answer questions from the TMT co-hosts, viewers, audience members, and each other in a lively discussion. Join the fun (and pardon the sound, as we were right next to the Apple Jam stage)! Special thanks to 2Legs' Andy Nicholes who recorded the session.   talkmoretalk.com talkmoresolotalk@gmail.com @talkmoretalk1 https://www.facebook.com/talkmoretalkvideocast https://www.youtube.com/c/TalkMoreTalkASoloBeatlesVideocast

Jude Southerland Kessler of The John Lennon Series and Lanea Stagg of The Recipe Records Series sit down with noted Beatles music expert and author Bruce Spizer as he discusses the latest book in his Beatles album series, From Rubber Soul to Revolver. Spizer explores the important events of 1965 and 1966 that inspired these two pivotal LPs. He looks at the transition of The Beatles from a stage band to an innovative studio band, and he examines the impact of world music, orchestral compositions, drugs, and the changing role of women in The Beatles' lyrics. Spizer discusses the work that Beatles authorities Al Sussman, Frank Daniels, Bill King, Piers Hemmingsen, and Kessler added to this volume's close consideration of the music and the era. A lively 90-minute dive into both Rubber Soul and Revolver await!

In Episode 360 of Things We Said Today, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren DeVivo discuss the often-overlooked “Yellow Submarine” album and the 1999  “Yellow Submarine Songtrack” expanded remix.
