As an end-of summer two-fer, SATB presents a double bill: two different ways of “seeing” the Beatles.
First, on the 50 years since the Mad Day Out, my guest is photographer Tom Murray; author of the newly-published book, The Beatles: Tom Murray’s Mad Day Out – a colorful revisit to a summer’s day when all was Fab in the world.
Second, meet John Pring and Rob Thomas: graphic artists and authors of Visualizing The Beatles. Their book presents the Beatles’ story visually, laying out all manner of data in the form of colorful graphics, enabling the reader to grasp a lot of information quickly.
Huzzah, a new SATB episode! To be honest, this one is for me, as the sports commentators sometimes say, a game of two halves. The good news is that the second half is great :-).
This podcast is never less than fascinating and thank you Robert for bringing it to us.
Great episode, discussing authors and book. Essential to understanding the phenomenon and getting the history right. Thx. Robert.
Hang on a second. Little Child IS the shortest song (1:47) on With The Beatles, and You Really Got A Hold On Me (3:03) is the longest. I just verified this on my iPod. Does the book really say otherwise, and why?
