re: Beatles Biopics - stepping away from casting for the moment, what do people think about the locations? Is it important that we see 'original' sites like Mendips and Forthlin Road? Especially when more familiar and well-documented places like the Cavern don't exist anymore?

Happy Georgeday, Birth Harrison!

Hello! Garry here. I mentioned in the ep that my new album is on its way. Well, its here! On Bandcamp at least. Would be thrilled if you guys would check it out and let people know. Thanks! garryabbott.bandcamp.com/album/the-ne...

Filming underway in Walton, Liverpool for the forthcoming Beatles biopics. Note the name on the milk float. Did the Paul is dead rumour start after Paul was run down by a milk float in 1966 and the milkman went on to replace him in the band?

We are back! The Big Beatles Sort Out Presents: The Big 60s Sort Out USA! Or, TBBSOPTBSSOUSA, if you like! Here is ep 0 in which we look forward to the series ahead! Enjoy! Tell the world! plinkhq.com/i/1531129636...

Keeping an eye out for Blue Meanies at the Tate Modern!

Happy birthday, Yoko! Here’s my reconstructed saucer done in Berlin last year at the Neue Nationalgalerie as part of the MEND PIECE artwork in the Dream Together exhibition.

It won't be long (yeah)

If you're in Liverpool between now and August and you've got a half-hour/hour to spare, pop up to the Victoria Gallery and Museum at @liverpooluni.bsky.social and check out "Toxteth: The Harlem of Europe" photo exhibition. vgm.liverpool.ac.uk/whats-on/exh...

Your Big Beatles and Sixties Sort Out hosts getting papped in the 1980s

Another great read from Jonathan, digging into the mysteries of Alexis Mardas.

New Beatles biopics casting news: Farhan Akhtar will star as Ravi Shankar Lucy Boynton will star as Jane Asher Morfydd Clark will star as Cynthia (Powell) Lennon Harry Lawtey will star as Stuart Sutcliffe

Some stuff I enjoy reading and listening to, and why you should be reading and listening to it too including @alfsplaining.bsky.social, @drunkwomenpod.bsky.social, @bigsort.bsky.social and @mrphilnorman.bsky.social's newsletter. timworthington.org/2025/04/25/t...

You lot would love Ben's radio shows. I mean, look at this line-up from the last Monday show! Features peerless Shadows number Shazam!

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...

Did you listen to Paul on @eggpod.bsky.social back in 2023? No? Well, why not fill in some time until we’re back with series 4 by doing so now? plinkhq.com/i/1335120302...

And if you wanted to help us get over the line with the next album, by buying the last one or some merch or something, it’s Bandcamp Friday today! goodgriefliverpool.bandcamp.com

The new film from the world's foremost Beatles expert @marklewisohn.bsky.social is out on TUESDAY! (10th February). Streaming on Prime Video and Fandango! Can't wait! #Beatles

Well this is quite a strange and beautiful thing - a film made in 1967 to accompany the song Penny Lane - not, it seems, as an official thing, but an independent production. It is absolutely fascinating to see this - especially for spotting Liverpool locations. www.bfi.org.uk/inside-the-a...

Series 5… recording has begun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's the 67th anniversary of February 3, 1959, the Day the Music Died. From the most cavernous depths of the They May Be Parted archives, a mini-post marking the day with a few Beatle memories of Buddy and a string of Holly covers during the Get Back sessions: theymaybeparted.com/2012/02/03/t...

Polydor's Great Recording Stars! #beatles

Who wants to hear Eleanor Rigby played back on a wax cylinder? Everyone? Good! youtu.be/eUiS4sQ9CQQ?...

On this day in 1962 (February 2nd), The Beatles performed their first professionally organised gig outside of Liverpool at Manchester’s Oasis Club. They opened with “The Hippy Hippy Shake”, and went on to perform a set list that included songs such as “Sweet Little Sixteen” and “Like Dreamers Do”.

What beer do you want Paul? Only one answer in this pub!

Hope all our pals going to the Kinsale Beatles Festival are going to have a super wonderful marvellous time. We hope you're all thinking of us and wearing home-made Big Sort Long Lasagna badges.

I mean, we're a bit too late for that! Who could ever forget these definitive versions of the boys?

And now we have the official images on the #Beatles' and Sony social media, so we can see Barry/Ringo's psychedelic tie in all its glory!

Manchester Evening News, April 22 1964 and the Copenhagen Authorities aren't sure about this new pop phenomenon... #beatles

Here we are, in current available resolution! #beatles

Expect to see (if you haven’t already) first looks at the images of the Beatles in the upcoming biopics. LIPA has had exclusive postcards with images on. www.instagram.com/p/DUGOvMiCi3...

These session by session uploads are amazing - so detailed, so full! This is one of the most fascinating though - the isolated bits of Yellow Submarine. A clean tape of the Brass Band sounds from it, finally! (20m38s) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o_7...

Ahead of tomorrow night's listening party, we have a new header image (courtesy of my arty sister, Lorraine)! Dave G will make his appearance in March when we party to Drums & Wires. But for now, it's all about the Barry Andrews-era. 🎹

DID YOU KNOW: My band, Good Grief, once contributed a song to a Guided By Voices tribute record, where we stuck together two 'food themed' pop bangers? bertdax.bandcamp.com/track/doughn...

I'm on the lookout for a copy of the SOUTH BANK SHOW dated 6th May 1984 (s7e17) about ED MCBAIN. I've not been able to find it anywhere - the archive at Leeds Uni has a non-digitised film copy, so that doesn't help. There's a 3 min clip on Youtube that the director shared. Any help appreciated!

Here’s Prince Buster’s fantastic laid-back Ska version of All My Loving to brighten your Monday morning. (This was issued on the appropriately named FAB label in the UK) youtu.be/xqHF8UMzHGo?...

A few years ago an old family friend, sadly no longer with us, sent me this photo. He's on the very right, talking with Mr Lennon at 1 Div HQ & Signal Regiment in Verden-Aller, North Rhein, Westphalia. He described it as "One of the most memorable occasions in my life." @adamsleslie.bsky.social

Two good boys discuss one very odd film. (I watched it again not long ago and it struck me as being somewhere between extremely powerful and important and totally incomprehensible, but I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily)

Alerted to a Dickie Henderson themed strip from TV Comic (2/1/65) featuring his groovy son explaining the reason why we all do podcasts - and what's that word the kid's using? Merci to @benbaker.bsky.social for this important slice of pop life.

My band, Good Grief, has got some gigs coming up soon, if bands that sound a bit like Superchunk, Husker Dü, Pavement, that sort of thing. 20th Feb: w/Boxfires @ Peer Hat, Manchester 15th Mar: w/Perennial @ Outpost, Liverpool 2nd May: w/Goo @ TBC, Liverpool youtu.be/GnTzHWnzGXw?...

Congratulations to Joe on his Pod-Century! Such a lovely part of the Beatles Podcast Universe.

We did not know that Andy Edwards (sculptor of the Beatles statues in Liverpool) was from deepest Stoke-on-Trent. As a part-Stoke based podcast we thoroughly approve of the rise of Potteries based Beatles people!

Let’s have some more quote-posts! Can you beat, erm, “Anthology mullet”? Free book! I’ll scribble into it whatever you want! #competitiontime #thebeatles #paulmccartney #beatlesbooks #90s #reaktionbooks @reaktionbooks.bsky.social

If, one day, a single was released with We All Stand Together on one side and Jackie Lee’s Rupert theme on the other, it would be the greatest record ever released and would save humanity.
