In 1976, Ringo Starr released an album with the unusual title Ringo's Rotogravure. It was the last album of his to feature all three Beatles writing songs for him, and it also features a song by Eric Clapton as well. We review the album--which received very mixed reviews--in this episode--and talk about how it came together, including a case where one Beatle sued another!

Dave and Chris present a tribute to Beatles producer Sir George Martin, who passed away in March of this year at the age of 90. We host a debate about some key issues that involved Martin, including his thoughts about the White Album being one disc, what his greatest contribution to the Beatles was, and some of his non-Beatles productions. Truly a legend and truly the Fifth Beatle!

In this episode (our 75th! Thanks, everyone!) we rank George's 22 original songs recorded on the standard 13 Beatles albums from "Don't Bother Me" to "I Me Mine." Dave and Chris agree on the placement and order of most songs, but have some wildly different views on others.

In 1991, Paul McCartney performed on MTV's Unplugged and released a very successful and unique album of the concert. In this episode, we discuss the recording of the concert, the setlist, go through the tracks, and wonder why Paul hasn't played concerts like this since.

In this episode, we take a look at the connections between the late David Bowie and the Beatles, particularly John Lennon. Bowie was a big Beatlefan and made references to the Fab Four throughout his career. Chris--a huge Bowie fan--leads this tour through Bowie's life and music related to the Beatles, including his "famed" (no pun intended) recordings with John Lennon, a funny story about a party with Paul McCartney, and his cover of George's "Try Some Buy Some."

We're back to start 2016 with another song under the microscope! In this episode we look at the 1964 song "I'll Be Back," a subtle and sophisticated John Lennon song. We discuss the lyrics, music, and recording process, and then check out a few interesting cover versions of the song. Enjoy!
