Compleatly Beatles

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 we’re joined by David’s cousin Jason Dedrick to talk Beatles, Beatles, Beatles! And this week there was much to discuss: the single I Want to Hold Your Hand and its B-side This Boy, the album A Hard Day’s Night and the only EP to contain non-album tracks Long Tall Sally get a thorough talking over.

Thanks for listening!

This is it! The jewel in the Beatles crown; the ne plus ultra of pop music. There will never be another quite album like Sgt. Pepper’s and Ian and Dave are all over it. Songs are discussed; production is explained; and trivia is thrown around like so much confetti. Join Sneaky Dragon’s Ian Boothby and David Dedrick as they celebrate one of The Beatles’ greatest achievements.

Once again, this episode went a l-i-i-i-ittle long, but, come on! Sgt. Pepper’s...

On this episode of Compleatly Beatles, Ian and Dave discuss the first two sides of the Beatles only double album, The Beatles (aka The White Album. They also discuss the first of two singles released before The Beatles, “Lady Madonna” and its b-side “The Inner Light”. We’ll hear about The Beatles trip to Rishikesh; we’ll hear about the steady disintegration of the Beatles as a band; and we’ll hear about their struggles to complete their greatest achievement – the delightful, infuriating, moving, amusing, disturbing and wondrous curate’s egg that is The Beatles.

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. They also bid a sad farewell to the first and maybe greatest pop music manager, Brian Epstein. Dave has been looking forward to this one since the album contains probably his favourite Beatles song. You’ll have to listen to find out which one!
