New EggPod Express online! Available everywhere! Part 1 of @marklewisohn.bsky.social discussing the 4 January 1962 issue of Mersey Beat with Chris Shaw.

I’m happy and honoured to be the first guest in this new show (welcome back, Chris) and to pay due respect to Bill Harry for creating Mersey Beat, now 65 years ago.

Surely it must be time for a listening party for Wings’ debut. What do you say @beatlespod.bsky.social @beatlesbookspod.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social @pavementoyster.bsky.social @jeremyblackmore.bsky.social @jillianreilly.bsky.social @bookyvikki.bsky.social @mychameleondays.bsky.social

It was worth queuing in the cold. Got all my wants 😊 #rsd2026

#RSD26 Can’t believe the queue already! I hope they’re all Swifties ahead of me. I’ve never been this far back at this time before

@darrenhayman.bsky.social Many of these are minor but there’s a cumulative effect. As I said, the lack of attention to detail is almost a badge of honour. The re-telling of the comprehensively debunked story of John’s parents making him choose which he wanted to stay with is my biggest issue.

“I don’t see the benefit of creating events that never happened. Those people who do it should do something else with their life." I love @marklewisohn.bsky.social www.thenewworld.co.uk/jeremy-black...

Absolute pleasure to chat to leading Beatles historian @marklewisohn.bsky.social about his fascinating documentary Evolver:62. We also talked at length about Mark's research methods, how new discoveries are emerging daily & why it's never been more important to get their story right in the era of AI

Incredible day at @britishlibrary.bsky.social hearing a playback of the earliest recording of a #Beatles UK concert, 63 years ago today. Beautifully hosted & curated by @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social & @marklewisohn.bsky.social Lasting gratitude to John Bloomfield for capturing the gig for the nation.

A wonderful afternoon at the British library listening to Beatles Stowe gig tape and in company of @marklewisohn.bsky.social and John Bloomfield - the OG bootlegger plus other eyewitnesses to history

It’s 50 years ago this month that “Wings At The Speed Of Sound” was unleashed on the world. Listening party this Saturday? @beatlespod.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social @beatlesbookspod.bsky.social @pavementoyster.bsky.social @jeremyblackmore.bsky.social @michellemabelle.bsky.social

As he went to sleep my son said dad, would you prefer to be a dolphin but everybody hates you or a really popular blobfish? Makes you think doesn’t it #makesyouthink

Hello. What with pay day and everything, I wondered if anyone might want to buy my #sgtpepper book? Due to some unforeseen extra costs I am now a bit out of pocket on the whole project and it would really help me out if I could just sell a few more copies and my kids can get new school shoes…

I love all pictures taken of them in the Peppermint Lounge that evening

It must be nice to reclaim a song you wrote (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman An affirming end to the album #tapestry55

Tapestry reminds me of The Song That Goes Like This from Spamalot #tapestry55

The boogie bluesy shuffle groove offers much but doesn’t quite cut it for me Smackwater Jack #tapestry55

Will You Love Me Tomorrow? This slowed and stripped down version makes you focus much more on the lyrics and meaning than the Shirelles’ version. #tapestry55

Down and troubled Describes my WiFi but I’m back! #tapestry55 You’ve Got A Friend What a song. I could listen to it over and over.

Way Over Yonder Warm gospelly soul! Love it #tapestry55

You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face / And show the world all the love in your heart Beautiful message #tapestry55

Pounding piano moving the earth under my feet! Great opener #tapestry55

#tapestry55 Hello all.

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.

Highly recommended for Beatles’ fans everywhere! The stage show was brilliant but has translated wonderfully to an even better film. A treasure trove of Beatles fact. Not to be missed. @marklewisohn.bsky.social doing what he does best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Evolver 62. Now on Amazon Prime. Ever saw myself 😂

Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...

Sad that Catherine O’Hara has died. Rest in Peace. Thanks for so much enjoyment.
