Paul McCartney and Wings, ”Band on the Run” (1973)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2023/12/23

Many Macca fans would argue that Paul McCartney’s best post-Beatles album is the German 12” Maxi-Single of “All My Trials”. (#WixTrumpetSolo) But others just might suggest that it’s 1973’s still-beloved landmark, “Band On The Run”. This week, Tony & T.J. celebrate 50 years of this true (and, maybe, ultimate) Macca classic with a deep dish on Side 1, which features some of Paul’s most celebrated, iconic mega-hits. Along this Journey (#LyingBesideU), the Soft Beatle Boyz also ask: 📼📼 Did the

Not all greatest hits albums are for house-people and little thems. Some, like “1967-1970” (and its red, commie companion) are as essential as the bands they represent. This week, the Twerk Twins dish deep on the packaging, origin, and legacy of these history-making collections and their 2023 remixes, and also ask: 🦦 Would John have loved the 2011 Target-only 7” mix of “I Am The Walrus”? 📻 Is recycling the original hip-hop? 🌭 (Angry Chicago Guy:) How come The Red Album put ketchup around its

Legendary comedian Redd Foxx once said of 1973’s 1962-1966 (a.k.a. The Red Album), “you big dummy, where is “If I Needed Someone”? Spoilers: Fred Sanford has been in the great junkyard in the sky for many years, but had he lived, he’d no doubt (#DontSpeak) be thrilled to know his dreams came true in the 2023 Expanded Remix of this seminal collection! Tony & T.J. delve into the powerful new remixes on Disc 2, wonder aloud if there’s simply too much Revolver, and also ask: 🍸 Dave Dexter’s

Mind Games (1973) 50th Anniversary Part 2

2023/11/25

Let’s keep on playing those Mind Games together, as we delve into the meat (City/Free Monday) of the album, the often overlooked album tracks. Do they deserve their heretofore reputation as merely green Capitol budget label re-issue worthy? Or are there some stone-cold Lennon classics in the mix? And is it cool in 2023 to talk honestly about “sanpaku eyes”? Spoilers: Yes is the answer! But, also: 🏀 Is Marvin Gaye’s cover of “Nutopian International Album”, as performed at the 1984 NBA All-Star

Mind Games (1973) 50th Anniversary

2023/11/18

John Lennon’s solo output presents a sadly small sample size. Paul’s had 347 solo albums and counting, Ringo releases a new EP every hour on the 8’s, but for the most tragic reason imaginable, John’s catalog is comparatively the smallest. So, how do Beatlenerds and your everyday classic rock fans look at “Mind Games” on its’ 50th anniversary? It yielded a massive hit single, one of John’s most beloved. And rumor has it (#Adele) there’ll be a massive multi-disc reissue coming out in 2024. But does

Liverpool Drag

What happens when you take the energy of Beatlemania and mix it with a helping of questionably written and performed Beatles-inspired songs? You get Liverpool Drag. Not the Beatles, but an unincredible simulation! This week, Tony & T.J. examine the early 60's phenomenon of Beatle-inspired cash-in records. Are they good? Awful? Somewhere in between? The answer is, "yes". Along the way, the Drag Duo ask: 🇺🇸 Since drag shows are unarguably killing our children, is the only solution to ban more

For the first time since the halcyon days of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "Tha Crossroads", there's a NEW Beatles single! Thursday at 9a CT, Chicago Time, my guy, the Fabs dared to want to change the world one last time. Did they achieve that (Kenny) lofty goal, or merely create yet another gorgeous, emotional song to sit alongside their unparalleled catalogue?

Yellow Submarine LP (1969) Part 2

Is the original “Yellow Submarine” LP perfect with its’ George Martin score, or is it simply all too much? Well, it’s nice to have the time to take this opportunity…to continue deep dishing on the Beatles’ most underrated core-catalog album this side of Pickwick’s “The Beatles - 1st Live Recordings (Volume Two)”. This week, Tony & T.J. discuss George Martin’s phenomenal orchestral selections, and also the exciting 1999 remix of the “songtrack” with extra songs used in the film; the first Beatles

Yellow Submarine LP (1969)

2023/10/21

If there’s a better kids movie than “Yellow Submarine”, we’ve yet to see it. (Pipe down, “AirBud”!) So, it would stand that 1969’s original Yellow Submarine soundtrack must be the best kids movie soundtrack of all time, correct? (Pipe down, “Popeye”!) While that may be up for debate, the new and/or newly released Beatles songs on Side 1 are among their most interesting and, in one case, greatest songs. Our "Yellow Submarine” disc Deep Dish delves deep into the Sea Of Thyme for some spicy discussion

Breaking UBP Bonus Episode! Tony and T.J. waited until midnight at the long-shuttered Tower Records on Clark St, while dreaming of corned beef sammies from the even-longer-shuttered Belden Deli, to be among the first to stream the new Ringo Starr EP “Rewind Forward” in their respective and collective not-so-tidy-whities. And they have one question: was that really worth the run-on sentence? And who do you think you are, Warriners, my guy? What the Bad Boy-oy-oy-oys discovered is this just might be

Cue the Salt ’N’ Pepa: Pu-Pu-Pushkin’s real good…at producing podcasts and audiobooks! They’re the force behind the just-dropped “McCartney: A Life in Lyrics” pod, which is off to a delightfully entertaining and insightful start. The dulcet tones of Paul Muldoon had better be the future voice of AI. (We’re talking about practice. Not a game.)

No less an authority than Mark Lewisohn knows that the skiing scene in "Help!" was filmed in Stowe VT, during the 1997 Winter X-Games, exclusively on ESPN. But before (ahem, #apres) skiing was a very Beatles activity, Stowe was known as a small British boys school (Ringo! Ringo!), where the Beatles gave one of their longer and most interesting concerts whilst on the cusp of British fame. Recently, a tape surfaced of the mostly complete show, and like the Star Club release in 1970's, this one is

¿Què Pasa, New York? Mornings, on WXTV, Univision 41, Nueva York! But also, that’s a refrain from arguably the most commercially viable song from John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band’s “Some Time In New York City”. So why wasn’t the semi-title track a single? Why didn’t it lead off the album; not enough racial epithets in the title? And who in the love of Danza decided “Angela” - a heart-wrenching tribute to Judith Light - belongs on ANY Lennon comp? So many preguntas! Què Pasa,

All four solo Fabs released legendary albums in their lives. But among the critical darlings (“Gone Troppo”), chart topping smash hits (“Ringo Rama”, 5.1 edition) and absolutely despised, forgotten about, piles of doggie poo poo doo doo (“Band On The Run”), there are some solo albums that remain quite difficult to categorize. Like this week’s Deep Dish Part 1 (CALORIE ALERT!) on the ever-controversial John & Yoko “Some Time In New York City”. Is this a terrible record? Is it actually brilliant

Ice-T asked the question with which many Beatles fans wrestle on his 1988 hit, “Colors”: Red or Blue? Both double albums are amazing chronicles of the Beatles’ chart hits and key album tracks. But they were assembled 50 years ago, and for their anniversary year, it’s been rumored that both LP’s will be reissued, remixed, and expanded! How do we know for sure? Well, it’s like Ice-T said in his 1988 hit, “Colors” - in arguably the most savage diss in rap history: “You don’t know me, foooooool! You

It marked Tony’s second consecutive Fest, and T.J.’s first since 2010. What kind of Beatles madness would the Gab Two create in front of an unsuspecting, live audience, as they break down a handful of their favorite live Beatles performances?
