In this episode, we discuss the Beatles' trip to Australia and New Zealand in 1964, covering such things as: Jimmy Nicol, rainy weather standing in clothes from Hong Kong, press conferences, and the setlist from the filmed gig in Melbourne. This was at a high point of Beatlemania, where the group was in good spirits and playing well, and the fans all came out for the shows.
Thanks to our listeners in Australia and New Zealand who helped with information about these gigs!
Here's a great performance of the Melbourne gig that we discuss:

In this episode, we go back into the lab to discuss both sides of Ringo's 1971 single: "It Don't Come Easy" and "Early 1970." The A-side became one of Ringo's biggest hits and most identifiable songs, and the B-side can be seen as an open letter to his bandmates and what he hopes will happen after their breakup.
As before, we've made a Spotify playlist that contains most of the cover songs discussed, as well as the two songs under the microscope:

We've danced around the topic before, but never dug deeply into the Beatles' 1964 album, Beatles For Sale. This album either gets overlooked, dismissed, or forgotten, but in our discussion we feel there are some songs that should definitely get a second look (and some that shouldn't). We hope you enjoy our discussion, and feel free to comment on our Facebook page, on Twitter @ivegotabeatles, or by email at ivegotabeatlespodcast@hotmail.com.
