When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the Beatles

Marv and I discuss the songs on side A of John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll.     While we wait for the (fingers crossed) eventual Ultimate Collection, we talk the original versions of the tunes, a bit about how the songs fit into Beatles/Lennon history, and some thoughts on how John chose to modify (or not) the arrangements.     Part 2 (side B + the "others") next week.    #madeonzencastr.

Jon Stone and Marv sit down as we discuss the fun that is the promotion for "The Boys of Dungeon Lane".    Mike Mac, his son Josh, BBC Merseyside, Google, Target and Talk Shop Live all join MPL on introducing and promoting Paul McCartney's new album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane."     Remember, 211 Hale Road at Dungeon Lane! #madeonzencastr.

Marv and I go through some news, and then the power of a new McCartney song summoned Jon Stone from the ether, so the three of us discuss the song, the radio reveal, and lead into next week where we talk about the "Taylorization" (and that's not a negative thing!) of music promotion, even for former Beatles!

Film maker Chris Purcell joins to discuss his new documentary, "Evolver 62" and some of his previous Beatles-related work ("The Beatles and Us").    Along the way we chat about why some Beatles docs work, and others ... not so much.   #madeonzencastr

Marv and I discuss the Evolution Mixes of the re-christened "New York City" album.     Nine tracks running the demos, early versions, breakdowns and modifications that became "Some Time in New York City" (and then evolved into just "New York City").    #madeonzencastr.
