S02E03: Paperback Writers 2: More Beatle Books

It’s been a year since we looked at books about the Beatles, and still there’s a lot more to talk about. What’s new; what’s coming soon; what did we forget to mention last year; books about people who were about the Beatles; and of course, the books to avoid.

Nothing Is Real - Season 2 Episode 2 - Early 1968 Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

Only seven weeks separated the television premiere of Magical Mystery Tour on Boxing Day 1967 and the Beatles decamping to India in February 1968. In those weeks we got to see the group work one last time as a unified Fab Four: The four-headed monster equally able to record a movie came and knock-out a song a day in Abbey Road.

Episode 19 - The Double A-Sides

The Beatles invented a lot of things, including the Double A-Side single. Out of the original canon of Beatles singles, four of them were Double A-Sides.
