Winter of Discontent - A Beatles Podcast

This episode ends on a cliffhanger. The Beatles rehearse Two of Us focussing on the middle section. It’s pretty intensive but they all seem in good spirits. And then George drops a bombshell. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod

The Beatles get to work rehearsing Get Back. Performances are energetic, John is fully engaged, Paul is nitpicking, Ringo is more vocal than usual and George is sounding increasingly defeated. Even Eric Clapton gets a mention. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod

John arrives. Yoko has a new hat. George talks about the Wonderwall film with Dick. Paul conspires with Glyn over song arrangements and we learn where the band Marmalade really got their name. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod This episode is re uploaded due to an editing error. Thanks for your patience.

Much of this episode is dedicated to Paul and Ringo discussing their newly acquired song catalogue with Dick James. Paul is enjoying the nostalgia of remembering old favourites and Ringo is amused by some of the more comical titles. Special guest appearance by Paul Abbot from The Big Beatles Sort Podcast. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod

We join Paul, Ringo, Michael, Glyn and visitor Dick James as they exchange pleasantries and talk about last nights TV. Dick discusses Northern Songs’ new acquisition The Lawrence Wright catalogue. This is an entree before a lengthy discussion about the songs which we’ll cover next time. Oh, and there’s a bit on Mary Hopkin. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod
