We're back with another deep dive into 1964's "If I Fell," one of the great early Beatles ballads from the movie A Hard Day's Night. We talk about the lyrics, music, and of course, Chris shares some of his favorite cover versions, some of which can be found here:

By popular demand, we review the 1970 Beatles compilation album, Hey Jude (The Beatles Again), which was a huge hit particularly in the US. This album features songs not available on standard US album releases, and is a good listen, but Dave and Chris discuss the album's strengths and weaknesses. Chris also laments several times that he no longer has a poster of the front cover! We hope you enjoy our tour through another American album.

In this episode, we take on an impossible task trying to rank our top 12 best solo Beatles albums. We talk about how many great albums we had to leave off, we disagree about some of each other's choices, and have a good conversation about our top few that were so hard to choose.
What would be on your list? Do you agree or disagree with our choices?

Time to go back into the lab to dissect George Harrison's 1987 single, "When We Was Fab" from the Cloud Nine album. This song looks back at the Beatles in a variety of interesting ways, and leaves the listener with many feelings about what George thought about his "Fab Gear" days. Enjoy!

How do you condense 6 CDs of the Beatles Anthology material into one? We take that challenge by creating our "best of" Anthology, making our own 80-minute CDs from the famed 1995-96 sets of outtakes, rarities, alternate versions, live performances, and new songs.
We also discuss the Anthology in general, the production and song selection choices, what we were doing when the sets came out, and much more. If you want to listen to each of our CDs as playlists, here they are:

With Cirque du Soleil in the news recently for reasons brought on due to the pandemic, (impending bankruptcy), in this episode we decided to discuss the soundtrack to their 2006 production Love, which has been performed at the Mirage in Las Vegas for 14 years now!
How does the soundtrack work and how was it created? What do we think of mash-ups, and the song decisions made by George and Giles Martin? Unfortunately, neither of us have either been to Vegas or seen the show, so we stick to a discussion of the music.
What do you think of the production and the musical soundtrack? Let us know at our email (ivegotabeatlespodcast@hotmail.com), on Facebook, or on Twitter (@ivegotabeatles).
