Amazingly, after 12 years of doing this podcast, we've never done a full track-by-track analysis of the Paul McCartney and Wings 1973 album, Band on the Run. We give an overview of the album's genesis and history, go through the songs, discuss the many reissues, landing on the 50th anniversary edition (with the "underdubbed" mixes) released in February 2024. Is it Paul's best album?
We also discuss some upcoming Beatles-related releases for Record Store Day, a new Sean Lennon album, and the relaunch of our video podcast.
Feel free to email us a message (or record it) at ivegotabeatlespodcast@hotmail.com and we'll include you in our new "Please Mr. Postman" segment.

In this episode we go back into the lab to discuss John Lennon's 1972 song "New York City." Found on his double album Sometime in New York City, this song has been described as "journalese" and the "son of The Ballad of John and Yoko." We discuss some of the people mentioned in the lyrics, the production and music, and much more. We also tease our next episode on Band on the Run. And what did Ringo say about his upcoming album plans?
Here's the cover song we mentioned:

In this episode we look at the life and career of songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Denny Laine, who died in December 2023. Along with Paul and Linda, Denny was the only constant member of Wings during the 1970s, but he was also involved to varying degrees with many other groups throughout his life. We end the episode talking about the upcoming Band on the Run reissue, which Denny certainly played and sang on.

Here is our review and discussion of the new 2023 "Red" and "Blue" compliation albums featuring remixes by Giles Martin.

The verdict? You'll have to listen to find out, but we provide a nuanced review of the sets and believe they are essential listening for all Beatlefans. What do you think? Let us know on any of our media platforms below.
