We go back into the lab to dissect the Beatles' 1969 song "Old Brown Shoe," first known as the B-side of "The Ballad of John and Yoko." This is a great George Harrison track filled with quirky lyrics, as well as complex, yet grooving music. We discuss the lyrics, music, who plays drums on the song, cover versions, and more. And then Chris shares a rant about Record Store Day, and we catch up on all the latest Beatles-related releases.

In this episode, we examine "lost" songs -- those the Beatles wrote as a group and/or solo that never got an official release, or may truly be lost -- and talk about what we'd like to see happen. We'll discuss Ringo's "lost" 1987 album, two albums from Paul, some early Beatles/Quarrymen songs, and much more.
Enjoy!

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.

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.

What do you think? It's fun to hear where Wings started and also realize how much they'd improve in the next few years.
Enjoy!

We're back with an IGABP tradition, our year in review and holiday gift episode! You'll hear us discuss all the releases from the Beatles (group and solo), including recordings, films, books, and much more. What were our favorites? We also play a fun game of "How much does this Beatles item cost?"; how does Dave do guessing prices? We also talk about our favorite non-Beatles reissues and new recordings, and then give our predictions for releases in 2023. Enjoy!
