Hello, Beatle fans. On this episode of Compeatly Beatles, Ian and Dave take a look at all the Beatles films: A Hard Day’s Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine and Let It Be. As usual, there is lots of background and history, but there is lots of discussion about the films. Which is their favourite? And which is their least favourite? As usual, they do not agree, but you’ll have to listen to find out the answer!

Oh, bee tee dubs, Clara Bow was the “It” girl, not Mary Pickford, who was “American’s Sweetheart” or Theda Bara, the first “vamp”.

This week on Compleatly Beatles, Sneaky Dragon’s Ian Boothby and David Dedrick join The Beatles at the height of their psychedelia and go on a Magical Mystery Tour. Join them as they discuss the songs, the stories behind the songs and a little bit of the history of the Magical Mystery Tour project.

You’ll have to listen to find out which one!

Ian and Dave would love to hear what your personal favourite Beatles song is and why. You can write to us here or leave a message on our Facebook page. We look forward to hearing from you.

This week, Sneaky Dragon’s Ian Boothby and David Dedrick look at the Beatles second album, Please Please Me, as well as their third and fourth singles, “From Me to You” and “She Loves You”. Ian finds his own narrative on the LP; David gives George Martin his props and discusses John and Paul’s writing methods. There is also the usual general silliness.

On this episode of Compleatly Beatles, Ian and Dave take a look at Get Back/Let It Be, the Beatles most turbulent album, recorded at a particularly unhappy time for the band – George Harrison himself called the recording sessions “hell”. There is so much history and drama to this album that the historical context almost overwhelms the song by song analysis, but it’s all very interesting and we’re sure you will enjoy it. So sit back and let’s Get Back

(PS. We know that Let It Be officially came out after Abbey Road, but since it was recorded first old Mr. Stickler, David, insisted on doing this album first.)

On this episode of Compleatly Beatles, Ian and Dave take a look at the very underrated Beatles’ album Beatles for Sale and their revolutionary single, “I Feel Fine” b/w “She’s a Woman”. After the little masterpiece that is A Hard Day’s Night, The Beatles came back down to earth for Beatles for Sale, a rushed recording schedule coupled with an insane amount of touring meant it was back to covers for a band that barely had time to play their own songs live. What do Ian and Dave make of all this?

This week on Compeatly Beatles, we look at the fantastic 1965 album Rubber Soul as well as the first double A-sided single “Day Tripper” and “We Can Work It Out”. It’s another long episode, but there’s just so darn much to talk about as the Beatles begin the next phase of their recording career and leave behind their Beatlemania era-style. There is also a little controversy as David defends and Ian condemns John Lennon’s “Run for Your Life”. Don’t worry though; they were still talking at the end of the episode.

Thanks for listening and, please, feel free to leave your comments below on such subjects as “Run for Your Life”, Elvis Presley and how Ringo is the greatest drummer ever.
