Episode 97: Put Them in the Movies, Vol. 1: "Ringo, a TV Special"

Listen to the first in a semi-occasional series called "Put Them in the Movies," where we'll discuss various Beatles-related films and videos. For our first installment, we discuss Ringo's 1978 TV special Ringo, which had a slew of guest stars and a loose "plot" to promote Ringo's new album at that time, Bad Boy. Enjoy!

Episode 96: Lennon Live in 1981

After John Lennon released "Double Fantasy" in 1980, there was some speculation that he would go on a tour in 1981. In this episode, we each make set lists for a possible Lennon tour, which features his most recent tunes but also goes back into the archives a bit as well. Share your set list and reactions on our Facebook page or by email at ivegotabeatlespodcast@hotmail.com.

Episode 95: Apple Scruffs, Vol. 5: Billy Preston

In this episode we examine one of the most famous non-Beatle artists on Apple Records, Billy Preston. Of course he played on some Beatles songs and was well-known as a keyboard player, but he also recorded two albums for Apple Records in 1969-70. We'll discuss these albums and pick our favorite tracks for you to enjoy.

Episode 94: Bad Beatles Covers

Happy 2017 everyone! In the latest episode of Beatles covers, we choose what we feel are the absolute worst renditions. You'll hear "performances" by such standouts as Milton Berle and Bill Cosby, missteps from Bono and the Grateful Dead, as well as a lot of other songs we can only call "bad." 

Episode 93: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 8: "Free As A Bird"

For our final episode of 2016, we present one more song under the microscope; this time it's the Beatles' 1994-95 "reunion" song "Free As A Bird," recorded for the Anthology project. Hear about the recording process of bringing John into the group again, Jeff Lynne's contributions, the music, lyrics, and where the song fits into the Beatles' catalogue.

Thanks for all your support in 2016, and we look forward to many more episodes in 2017!
