When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the Beatles

The first of the "George Harrison and Bob Dylan" session discs.     This show mostly covers the "Winter of Discontent" 1968 and May 1970 sessions, but Marv and I also meander around several other corners.    More of this collaboration of titans coming soon!  #madeonzencastr.

Marv, Susan and I chat about recent events in Beatles-world.    We start with an extended breakdown of the contents of the various Rubber Soul releases (Vinyl, CD, Blu-Ray and more), followed by Apple's promise that "Help is on the way", Peter Asher's film and sojourn into studio two and more!   #madeonzencastr.

We continue our discussion on the Paul and Declan demos.    Marv relays details from recent conversations with Chris Whitten and Kevin Armstrong concerning playing on the McCartney and Macmanus demos.      We also present the beginning of our thoughts on the Rubber Soul Super Deluxe Edition (due October 2), particularly "Michelle (take One)"

Following on from Declan and Paul on the Late Show finale, we start a discussion on the "McCartney/McManus demos", those found on the Flowers in the Dirt Archive Editions, and those that ended up elsewhere.    Continued next week with part two! #madeonzencastr

You know her from the Fests, you know her from "Fab Four Cities", and if you do not, now you will know her from this show!    Welcome Susan Ryan to our rotating cast of co-hosts.        Our first full-length show is a look at the Beatles (and John and Paul, and maybe a little bit of Jared Harris) in and around Central Park.      The news takes us out to brief stops in Queens (Forest Hills), and even a stopover near Fenway Park.     The Beatles and the Park and the Dakota (and more) this week!
