Bonus: Get Back to Christmas

Happy Holidays, Merry Crisis and Happy New Year (we got in just in time)! To celebrate, we've taken a trip to an alternate dimension, where this podcast never needed to exist, because the Beatles never broke up - and we've been given access to a cassette tape which indisputably proves it. This holiday season we present to you an in depth analysis of the remix album Everyday Chemistry. Opinions are varied as always, but without a doubt there's a lot to talk about.In honour of the passing of Wings' Denny Laine and The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, our cover this week is our very own little mashup...Listen to the 'cassette': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR1tKjCM9OAVoicerom: https://voicerom.bandcamp.com/If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review in-app, or consider becoming a patron on Patreon for as little as £2 a month: https://www.patreon.com/wedontbelieveinbeatles Want to keep up with our favourite songs on each album?

This week we take a short detour from the 1980s to explore something a bit more of the moment... a new Beatles song, in 2023! What a time to be alive. Just like everyone else on the internet, we give our thoughts on the final collaboration between the Fab Four and how Lennon's solo material may have influenced the direction of Now and Then.

The year is 1987, Cameron Sanderson has finally been born and George Harrison is back... but what of the ELOphant in the room? We discuss the beginnings of George's collaboration with Jeff Lynne, the best albums of 1987, the Oriental Riff Cinematic Universe and whether it's just a bit silly to have a 10 piece band. We also for some reason decide to reinterpret the incredible B-side Shanghai Surprise as a disco banger - you're all welcome. *Editor's note... despite being aware of The Beatles' new song "Now and Then" already being out, we recorded this episode a little while ago so we do discuss it as if it is yet to come.

We've officially entered Paul McCartney's attractive gray dad era and he's telling us to press, right now, that's it, yes. Press to Play sees Macca reuniting with Eric Stewart and getting even more 80s than you may think possible. Whether you like it or not, there's no doubt it's just two ends of the same hotdog. Stick around to hear our (self admittedly) incredible version of Pretty Little Head.

This week we go to the theatre, literally - as Jack takes a pilgrimage to the now defunct Broad Street tube station, honouring Paul McCartney's oft-forgotten but still much maligned venture into Hollywood as a solo artist, Give My Regards to Broad Street. We discuss the film, its soundtrack album and how a project that sees Paul reunite with some of his best collaborators (Ringo Starr, Linda McCartney, George Martin) can go so wrong. Cameron also teaches us how to speak like Stephen Hawking and we discuss the resurgence of 1980s fashion in 2023. Jess then takes lead for a piano ballad rendition of No More Lonely Nights.

Happy New Year! Unfortunately, there's a bittersweet air this week as we explore John & Yoko's posthumous release, a spiritual sequel to Double Fantasy but ultimately unfinished, at least on John's behalf. But it's not all doom and gloom! Amongst some auditory gold we discuss if bass guitar is pointless, whether John & Yoko ultimately "fit" musically, which towel one uses when visiting a friend's bathroom and the traditional Halloween turnip carving of Scotland. Stick around to hear our Beck-inspired take on Nobody Told Me.

Surprise! We're back with our third Christmas special, this time tackling something a bit older; the seven 'Christmas records' that the Beatles recorded and posted to members of their fan club starting in 1963 up to their demise in '69. These under-10 minute recordings are comprised of seasons greetings from the Fab Four, some simple Christmas tunes, mad pantomime sketches and much random noise, and with each new Christmas record we very clearly see not only their musical evolution, but the interpersonal fracturing which would ultimately end the band. This week's cover is Christmas Time is Here Again, one of the pieces featured on the 5th record. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas from our family to yours - we'll be back in 2023 with more episodes.

Thank you to everyone who's still listening despite the episodes coming out infrequently... we love you all! This week Paul starts blowing his Pipes of Peace, with the help of some new and old collaborators (George Martin, Ringo, Michael Jackson, Linda, Denny and Eric Stewart amongst others) and for the first time, Jack and Jess firmly disagree on the results, how exciting! Which one of us is acting like a complete dustbin lid? Listen on to find out... We also discuss Paul's iconic set at Glastonbury 2022 and The Mars Volta's reforming (because we like them, sorry if you don't care... but you should! And to finish off, we go back in time to record an old-timey interpretation of Average Person.

This week, Jess loses his mind over Ringo's collaboration with the Eagles' Joe Walsh - an album that misrepresents itself with its cover art and divides opinions among our hosts, despite the addition of the brilliant Russ Kunkel. But before the breakdown, it's a new year and so we discuss the best albums of 1983 and the birth of Pantera & Metallica. Plus we talk about the best gigs we've ever been to and treat you listeners to a live tea break. Jack then serenades us with Hopeless.

I'm afraid the rumours are true... we have officially all gone troppo. George Harrison throws out the rulebook with this oft-forgotten, happy-go-lucky record. Is it truly forgettable, or a diamond in the rough? Would it have been better if George had recorded the whole thing on an acoustic guitar into a dictaphone? And why does he suddenly hate bridges? Amongst some varying opinions on the record, we discuss the mythical Rodina Sloan, Weezer's best albums and Cameron goes on an insane rant about how deep voiced men aren't real singers. Our cover of the week is the fabulous title track.
