Ep. 153 | The Beatles: 1962–1966, a.k.a. THE RED ALBUM (2023 Edition)

November saw a fete of new Beatles releases and re-releases. So this month the Untitled Beatles Podcast begins a fab-four-course feast, guaranteed to be the toppermost of the ploppermost. We hope you like deep dish! A beginning…

1st Course: Amuse-bouche
A Siskel & Ebert review of Peter Jackson’s “Now and Then” music video

2nd Course: Deep Dish
Disc One of the 2023 Edition of the Red Album

3rd Course: Deep Dish
Disc Two of the 2023 Edition of the Red Album

4th Course: Deep Dish
2023 Edition of the Blue Album

On its 50th anniversary, the latest Giles Martin demix-remixes are a sonic revelation for Beatle sniffers of all palettes. And as always, T.J. and Tony offer these questions to fab folk of a certain vintage:

🥁 Yes, the merits of Ringo’s drumming have finally been brought to the fore, but are they Dave Grohl-approved?

🛥️ Why won’t Brian Epstein return my calls about having The Beatles play my private yacht in Dolby Pro-Logic 4.1 surround sound? Dealbreaker: They NEED to stand in a ITU-R BS 775 configuration!

🪘 Was the bongo tickle at the end of “And I Love Her” consensual?

Please pace yourself, there are two courses in this episode. And don’t load up on bread - your fingers will puff up and you won’t be able to properly play “Now and Then” on piano!
