Top job as usual boys. I agree with Rich (naturellement) that You Wont See Me is an underrated overlooked gem of a song. Looking fwd to the promised No.3 of the triumvirate of promised casts.
Thanks, Paul! Number three – a radical departure – is in the can and coming soon…
I have to tell you, I just found out about this website last week. Your podcasts are THE best ones I have heard about The Beatles. They are intelligent, witty and entertaining. It has the perfect amount of granularity I want out of Beatles analysis!
Thanks much, Randy!
Music of Lennon and McCartney made by Granada and recorded at Granada Studios in Manchester for the ITV Network in the UK. Recorded right in the middle of the Rubber Soul sessions.
You may (or may not) be interested to know that Ozzie Nelson mentions “The Freddy” and briefly does the dance in one of the last episodes of ‘the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet’; episode name ‘Ozzie A Go Go’.
Seeing the movie ‘Help’ on the BBC in 1972, aged 11, was the moment I got into the Beatles.I quickly moved on to familiarize myself with Rubber Soul and Revolver and their later work which I much preferred. However, its great to hear tracks from the Help album as it reminds me what the attraction was in the first place and, truth be told, it’s criminally underrated by everyone these days, including me.
