When was the last time you thought about the 40+ Beatles/Solo instrumental tunes? We went deep into the catalog and ranked our top 10 best instrumentals, which includes some obvious choices, but also some obscure gems. All four Beatles are discussed, but clearly Paul McCartney wins the award for sheer numbers of instrumentals. Did we choose your favorites? What do you think of our order?

In this episode, after many years of listener requests, we finally discuss The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, the famous 1978 Beatles spoof film that combines elements of Monty Python and Saturday Night Live! We talk about the film's background, the stars, the plot, the famous cameos, and so much more. What will Dave and Chris think of the film? How does it hold up?
We also talk about the announcement of Ringo's three upcoming EPs as well.
Enjoy!

What would've happened if the Beatles reunited to make an album in 1973 based on the four albums recorded that year? We draw from Mind Games, Band on the Run, Living in the Material World, and Ringo to compile a 12-track album that we think would be even better if all four Beatles played and contributed to the songs. Chris and Dave both had different approaches to their album construction, but they both work well as listens. If only that had happened...
Dave's album: Band on the Run, Jet, Photograph, Out The Blue, Don't Let Me Wait Too Long, I'm The Greatest, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth), Mind Games, Bluebird, Bring on the Lucie (Freeda People), Who Can See It, and 1985.
Chris's album: I'm the Greatest, Band on the Run, Sue You Sue Me Blues, Mind Games, Photograph, Let Me Roll It, One Day at a Time, Give Me Love, Bluebird, Be Here Now, I Know I Know, 1985

In an I've Got A Beatles Podcast first, we examine a song that wasn't written by a Beatle nor appeared on a Beatles or solo album -- but it features Paul McCartney prominently! In this episode, we discuss Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's duet "The Girl is Mine" from 1982's Thriller album. What do we think about the lyrics ("doggone girl??") and music? How did the song come about and what's going on at the end of the song? Are there any covers of the song? Check out the episode and let us know what you think.
We also review the latest Record Store Day.

In this episode we rank the 13 "canonic" Beatles albums on the basis of their cover artwork. Which ones do we think are the most interesting conceptually? How about the most creative? Do the covers tell us anything about the music on the album?
We're sure that you will both agree and disagree with us, so leave us your opinion at any of our contact options below!

It's time for another one of our patented Ringo album reviews! This time it's his 1998 album Vertical Man, the first album he worked on with Mark Hudson. As is typical for Ringo albums, there are some great songs featuring Ringo's old band mates, as well as some filler, and a whole lot of background singers! We also discuss some potentially-interesting George Harrison news.
Enjoy!

In this episode, Dave and Chris kill two birds with one stone in this twofer episode combining a Beatle appearance in a film that happens to be a famous gig! What was the Rock and Roll Circus, held in 1968? What did John Lennon do at this event? Who were his bandmates? What other groups played at this event? How many of those groups were lip-synching? And why is Chris unhappy Allen Klein was involved?
After we discuss the Circus, we cover some recent current events in the Beatles world, including Paul's upcoming coffee table book, record store day releases, and more.
