Sick episode, bro! No, literally, this episode is sick! Well, actually, Producer Casey was sick with COVID-19 during what was supposed to be a rare, in-person, Rosemont reunion of the Ubp3. #Cantaloop Fortunately, The Fest For Beatles Fans (nee “Beatlefest”) is always sick. Sick, in a good way, like the kids said in spring, '95. We need to legally mention that the Fest was NOT COVID-19 sick, thankfully; which means it probably injected bleach, and horse dewormer. What a great way to own the libz, for freedumb! Somehow, Tony & T.J. were as healthy as two legally-giddy, mid-1970's born Chicago guys can be, so they spent two beautiful days checking out all that this inspiring, lovely collection of fellow Beatles nerds has to offer. And Poducer Casey was able to rally, and contribute to our recorded shenanigans at the Fest from his sad, GrubHub-reekin' hotel room. (Oddly, Casey did not order GrubHub.)

V has actually been to "The Fest," as groovy kids call it, and wrote a paper on Beatlemania that got published a zillion years ago to boot, so she chimes in about what this fandom is like from ground level while Emily marvels at the guts of The Fest's founder, Mark Lapidos, and how very accessible people were in 1974. Then we end with a tangent on the importance of internet safety? It's a thing. Be safe on the internet, kids, and remember that she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Though the Lennon & McCartney songwriting team found it harder and harder to truly write songs together from scratch as they got busier and busier, with "Baby's In Black," they were able to get "nose-to-nose" and write something truly different from what was expected at the time. A 3/4 time waltz with a melancholy lyric (possibly inspired by Astrid Kirchherr's mourning for Stu Sutcliffe), the first song they recorded for the Beatles For Sale album was a far cry from the uptempo Beatlemania rave ups of A Hard Day's Night or the Cavern-era screamers on their first two LPs. The song shows tremendous growth and bravery for daring to do the unexpected, and gives a brilliant example of John and Paul's best Everly Brothers-esque harmonies. It's a song they were very proud of, as evidenced by the fact that that once it was out, it stayed in their live show until the end of their touring days. Even in the jaded-slugging-it-out-un-enthusiastically shows of 1966, John and Paul seem to genuinely delight in being so close on one mic and singing in harmony for the entire song. It's a real gem that likely doesn't get it's due since it's a waltz in the 3rd song slot on what some consider their "worst" album. This week, we close the circle on the RTB X 2Legs meet up by welcoming Andy Nicholes to the show! After having his co-host Tom Hunyady on the last episode, it only seemed appropriate to have Andy on as well. We love 2 Legs, and Andy was great on the panels we saw him on at the Fest for Beatles Fans, so we're big fans.

In many ways, Paul McCartney is the ultimate storyteller. He's got an unparalleled ability to craft characters and a situations that are so vivid, you can't easily tell when he's hiding his own feelings and life stories in them. So when we writes a song where he's totally upfront about a situation, no story, no characters, you can bet it's something important to him. And that's what he's doing with "You Never Give Me Your Money" from Abbey Road. Maybe the first time we get. real glimpse of the Paul who can take various fragments and create a composition with different movements, the song discusses his frustration with the Beatles' inner-organization fighting over their financial situation. One might think a song with such a specific perspective would make it hard to connect to, but Paul's vocal is so on point and so emotive and authentic, it's easy to connect to. It's also, imho, the auditory blueprint for Abbey Road, crystal clear guitars, signature drum fills, sparkling sonics, it's a true gem of the catalogue. Joining us this week is someone who knows McCartney pretty darn well, Tom Hunyady, co-host of 2Legs, A Solo Paul McCartney Podcast, as well Talk More Talk, A Solo Beatles Videocast. Tom's been deep-diving into Paul's catalogue for a long, long time, and we're big fans of his shows, so when we had a chance to connect at the Fest for Beatles Fans, we couldn't have been happier. Tom joins us (with a BIG discrepancy in our ranking) to discuss the Beatles podcast landscape, One Hand Clapping, recognizing Paul's genius, and more.

Some 25 years after the Beatles' break up, new music from the band emerged via a cosmic combination of technology and enduring love...and the career-spanning Anthology project. Using a solo John piano demo, the remaining Threetles completed "Free As A Bird," a stately and beautiful track, complete with the still gorgeous Beatle harmony, brilliant lead guitar, some new lyrics by Paul and George, a bit of that trademark Beatle cheekiness...it was them, all over again. In my opinon, the song holds up incredibly well within the catalogue. Of course there were/are naysayers, but wasn't this song bound to be the victim of unreal expectations? Despite that, it's a track that makes me feel a real sense of warmth and love and happiness, which is everything I want out of a Beatles song, and it's all the more amazing that they were able to provide that some 25 years after they initially broke up. We're so happy to be back! We're also so happy to have our first guest for this season be the absolutely wonderful Skylar Moody! If you're on social media and a fan of the Beatles, you've likely seen Skylar's content out there. She handles social media content for the Fest for Beatles Fans, and is partnering with the Brooklyn Museum as a consultant and content creator for the Paul McCartney "Eyes of the Storm" photo exhibition. It's good to know that with people like Skylar at the helm, Beatles fandom will continue to grow and spread to new generations of fans.

George Harrison's journey as a songwriter began later than his other bandmates. After delivering his first self-penned track for the band's 2nd album, he had to rely on a Lennon/McCartney song for the 3rd, and a Carl Perkins cover on the 4th. But by the time of the Help! album, he had 2 on the table, and found his abilities starting to really grow. With "I Need You," he drops the dour, bitter persona he is sometimes known for to deliver an open, honest, vulnerable track that's economical in length, has some gorgeous key changes, and features the band starting to stretch in terms of trying new sounds in the studio. George plays rhythm guitar on a nylon string acoustic, Ringo plays percussion on the back of a guitar, John (?!?!) delivers the back beat on the snare drum, while Paul delivers a really interesting bass part that eschews the normal root note bass mentality. The band aren't afraid to venture into new territory, and George seems unafraid to show his actual vulnerability and own real life turmoil, which all coalesces into a track that's better than people remember. This week, we're thrilled to welcome back the Queen of Beatles media, Kit O'Toole! Fresh from speaking on a whopping 7 panels at the Chicago Fest for Beatles Fans, we chat with Kit about her upcoming course on the British Invasion at Monmouth University (sign up here), the legacy of the Help! film and album, George's growth as a writer, memories of cds and cassettes, and so much more!

1969 war ein bewegendes Jahr in der Geschichte. Neil Armstrong betritt als erster Mensch den Mond, das legendäre Festival Woodstock findet statt, Willy Brandt wird Bundeskanzler und die Beatles veröffentlichen ihr legendäres Album "Abbey Road". Während der Aufnahmen zu "Abbey Road" war die Stimmung in der Band nicht wirklich gut. Die "Get Back"- Sessions, die vor den Aufnahmen zu "Abbey Road" stattfanden und die später als das letzte Beatles Album "Let It Be" veröffentlicht werden sollten, waren sehr stressig und die bandeigene Firma Apple, die ein Jahr vorher gegründet wurde, wuchs den Musikern so langsam über den Kopf. Kurz gesagt: Die Stimmung innerhalb der Band war sehr angespannt. Trotzdem schafften John, Paul, George und Ringo es noch ein letztes Mal gemeinsam ins Studio zu gehen und Höchstleistungen abzurufen. Auf ihrem Album "Abbey Road" verneigen sich die Beatles vor vielen verschiedenen Künstlern ihrer Zeit und lassen sich auch gerne von anderen Songs inspirieren. Zum Beispiel vom Singer-Songwriter James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac oder auch The Who. Unser ehemaliger Kollege Werner Köhler hat über "Abbey Road" gesagt, dass das Besondere an dieser Platte für ihn ist, dass er, wenn er die Platte hört, auch heute noch immer noch Neues an der Platte entdeckt, so viele tolle Details hat dieses Album zu bieten. Mehr Details des Albums hört man vor allem seit 2019. Zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum von "Abbey Road" hat der Sohn des damaligen Produzenten George Martin, Giles Martin das Album nochmal komplett neu abgemischt, also ist mit modernen Möglichkeiten nochmal an jede einzelne Spur gegangen. Das Ergebnis: Die Beatles bleiben die Beatles, an der Musik wurde schließlich nichts geändert, aber jedes einzelne Instrument auf dem Album ist jetzt deutlicher und klarer zu hören, die Finessen des Albums kommen also besser durch und insgesamt wirkt das Album durch den neuen Mix deutlich aufgeräumter. Und auch wenn nicht alle Beatles-Fans es gerne gesehen haben, dass das Material der Band neu bearbeitet wird, Paul McCartney und Ringo Starr haben die Neubearbeitung gerne genehmigt. Ein möglicher Grund für die neue Abmischung kann übrigens auch die Veränderung unserer Hörgewohnheiten sein, erklärt SWR1-Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius. Viele Menschen hören inzwischen Musik über ihr Smartphone, oder über so kleine Bluetooth-Lautsprecher. "Man sitzt nicht mehr nur zu Hause vor der heimischen Stereoanlage und dem Plattenspieler und legt die Platte auf […], sondern man ist unterwegs", sagt Katharina Heinius. Moderne Musikproduktionen sind viel klarer und präsenter als früher, erklärt Katharina Heinius. Und solche Produktionen sind wichtig, damit Musik auch auf den kleineren Lautsprechern wirken kann. Auch darum hat Giles Martin das "Abbey Road" Album vermutlich neu gemixt, um einer neuen Generation von Beatles-Fans, die unterwegs ist, die Möglichkeit zu geben, das Album auch in einem modernen Lebensstil genießen zu können. 13 Studioalben haben die Beatles zwischen 1963 und 1970 insgesamt aufgenommen und auch wenn sie "Let It Be" als letztes Album veröffentlicht haben, zum letzten Mal gemeinsam im Studio war die Band bei den Aufnahmen zum "Abbey Road" Album. Als letzter gemeinsamer Studiotag der Beatles gilt der 20. August 1969. An dem Tag beendeten sie die Aufnahmen zum Album mit dem Song "I Want You (She's so Heavy)". Das legendäre Plattencover des "Abbey Road" Albums ist übrigens aus einer Notlage heraus entstanden. Eigentlich sollte das Album auch nicht Abbey Road heißen, sondern "Everest", nach dem höchsten Berg der Welt, dem Mount Everest. Dementsprechend sollte das Plattencover auch die vier Musiker auf dem Mount Everest zeigen, der Plan der Beatles auf den Mount Everest zu fliegen hat allerdings nicht geklappt. Warum es nicht geklappt hat und wieso dann aus dem Mount Everest die Abbey Road geworden ist und über ganz viel mehr sprechen wir im Podcast. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album “Abbey Road” wird im Podcast gesprochen 03:52 Mins – “Come Together” 13:09 Mins – “Something” 21:13 Mins – “I Want You” 32:10 Mins – “You Never Give Me Your Money” 35:28 Mins – “Sun King” 38:09 Mins – “Polythene Pam” 38:45 Mins – “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window” 43:01 Mins – “The End / Her Majesty” __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen 11:41 Mins – “You Can't Catch Me” von Chuck Berry 14:31 Mins – “Something in the Way She Moves” von James Taylor 17:21 Mins – “Something” von Joe Cocker 34:56 Mins – “Albatros” von Fleetwood Mac 37:26 Mins – “Pinball Wizard” von The Who __________ Shownotes: Webcam in der “Abbey Road” in London: https://www.earthcam.com/world/england/london/abbeyroad/?cam=abbeyroad_uk Besichtigungsmöglichkeiten der “Abbey Road Studios” im August: https://www.abbeyroad.com/crossing Infos zur neu gemischten Jubiläumsausgabe von 2019: https://jpgr.co.uk/a7792112.html Ein Onlineartikel zum Album und dem Plattencover: https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/abbey-road-zebrastreifen-so-machten-die-beatles-ihn-beruehmt-a-1280828.html Review zu “Abbey Road” bei Allmusic: https://www.allmusic.com/album/mw0000192938 __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

What was originally a song given away to fellow Liverpudlian singer Billy J. Kramer, "I Call Your Name" is claimed to be one of John's earliest song attempts, pre-dating the Beatles when he was first learning to play guitar. The song was spruced up with Paul for Kramer, but then reclaimed by the Beatles in early 1964 in consideration for songs for A Hard Day's Night. That plan fell by the wayside, but the track found its' home on the Long Tall Sally EP and The Beatles Second Album in the US, though managed to stay somewhat of an obscurity, as far as Beatles songs go at least. However, that doesn't prevent it from being an ripping, if not adventurous slice of music from the boys. For such an early song, it goes to some interesting places melodically, showing John possessed his knack for songwriting at an early age. It features some fantastic 12 string work George, though he's still getting comfortable with the instrument. It's a song about being absolutely devastated by loss, to a point of not even being able to cry, and if the timing is correct as John claims, it seems like it may be about something really, really hurtful from his past. It's all held together by a phenomenal vocal performance from John, hitting the peak his of his early phase vocals. Then of course, there's that rhythm change in the solo, an imaginative, experimental move the band had never tried, completely out of left field. It's a fantastic song and recording, as evidenced by the fact that it was covered contemporaneously by acts like The Mamas & The Papas and The Buckinghams, among others. When we need to get deep on John, few are better to speak on it than Jude Kessler, author of the on-going 9 volume "The John Lennon Series." She's been researching Lennon's life since the 80s, and her books are becoming known to be the benchmark for deep diving on John and his history and what makes him tick. Plus we just like talking to her because she's incredibly nice! She's released 5 of the 9 volumes so far, and the audiobook for the 3rd volume, "She Loves You," is out now!
