Some fellas down at the waterfront in Liverpool. #beatles #statue #liverpool #ooooh

Here is video of my amazing Groucho impression from this weeks episode!

Should have done this, shouldn't I?

Remember (remember) the 25th of November, when @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social 's very own Tim Worthington joined us to talk about the ever fascinating Beatles cartoons? pod.link/1531129636/e...

Two of the most peaceful voices in Beatles podcasting, together!

Ooooft! That was a hefty episode recording! Hope your commute to work on Monday takes a LONG TIME so you can fit it in!

It’s April 28, and OTD in 1964 our Fabs filmed "Around the Beatles," a variety show that was an occasional talking point during the Get Back sessions as the group tried to plan a new TV special in Jan 1969. I took an extremely deep dive into it several years ago: theymaybeparted.com/2016/08/31/t...

Some test prints of my ‘196 Beatle albums’ art.

For listeners this week who’ve not seen the cartoon we reference when talking about Hit The Road Jack, it was 1988 film The Cat Came Back - an Academy Award nominated Canadian animation. It’s great! youtu.be/FJl_4IsQJ2g?...

Good morning! Peace has been restored in the Big 60s Sort Out camp, as we both agree in the latest ep that Ray Charles was bloody brilliant! Listen now to find out why! pod.link/1531129636/e...

I've used this post as an excuse to port my free 2006 eBook about the making of Revolver over to Wordpress, BTW. There's a link to a PDF in the first section.

My skies? Blue suburban.

Quick vid about the latest episode!

Happy new Ringo album day!

Everybody, quick, tell every podcast review guide you know about us. We need the promo! We don't even mind if you tell them about "Boone-gate" - which reminds me, have you listened to this week's episode yet, pop fans?

Happy St George’s Day, folks.

You should all be digging @centuriesofsound.bsky.social anyway, because it's a brilliant concept, but if you listen on this link below you'll hear host James on our Paul's novelty song podcast, The Head Ballet, discussing this absolutely terrifying titan of ribtickling tunes!

Here, have some Liverpool blossom and buildings.

Three of Elvis's biggest hits

Hello! We are back with a new episode, picking up 1961 with a clutch of questionably themed songs, the Big O, and a disagreement over a Moody River! Enjoy! plinkhq.com/i/1531129636...

Coming on Monday, the next ep, which I may dub 'The Boone Ultimatum' for reasons that will become clear. (G)

The guv’nor will be back soon with a groovy new concept! You’ll be able to listen to that on Sundays and then get stuck into our Billboard magazine-based episodes on a Monday. It’s a 60s magazine based bonanza in Beatles Podcast Land!

Folks, if you follow us and we don’t follow you, do reply to us and we’ll follow back. I think we get a lot of ‘accidental’ Football follows because we’ve got Liverpool and Stoke in our bio and so we’re sorry if we’ve not engaged with our actual genuine online pals!

I do love a good Beatle 'fact'. I think the (very short) time John did any manual labour has become mangled in this snippet from April 1964's Rave magazine to suggest he was doing it in Germany!

Great night. Lovely Beatle People. x

Wore my Richard Vernon t-shirt to @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social ‘s talk on her A Hard Day’s Night book tonight, because I am a smart lad.

Thursday on Noisebox Radio... 9pm - Steve Binnie is hunting down Beatles covers in 'Outside The Box: Beatless' 10pm - its vinyl all night at 'The Salford Record Society', with Glenn. www.noiseboxradio.com

I'll be down the front in the mosh-pit for Samira's event tonight.

In the next ep on Monday I mentioned that I am still waiting for the test vinyl cutting of my new album, well, it came... (and sounds fab). Will hopefully be available along with the CD edition soon! G

Now and then, I put together compilations (paid for mind!) of the tracks I've wanted to hear again amongst my listening to Smash Hits reviewed albums & singles fr the 80s. Shout out to @bigsort.bsky.social for their episodes on post Beatles singles and b sides for the George Harrison tracks!

This week in 1971: for the first of three weeks, and never again afterwards, all four Beatles had solo hits in the UK top 40 at the same time: John with Power to the People (#10), Paul with Another Day (#11), George with My Sweet Lord (#25), and Ringo (new at #29) with It Don't Come Easy.

(Prof. Farnsworth Voice) Good news, everyone! BBSO/BSSO will be back next week, picking up with episode 6 and the songs at #1 in Billboard, late May to Mid June 1961. Any promotional shouting about the show you can do would be great. As you can see, we've been shouting together since 1981!

Morning folks. Another pod-less week from us this week, but hopefully we'll be back next week with our ongoing exploration of all of the US number 1s of the 1960s. In the meantime, we hope the weather is nice where you are and that everything is lovely. x

Fill in the blank

@bigsort.bsky.social Hi guys just been playing this. It’s a simple format but great fun. Listeners to the big 60s Sort Out get a distinct advantage but with with a range of ages it’s hilarious

Whilst we’re “off air” for a couple of weeks, we’d love you to dip into the old episodes of Paul’s novelty song podcast, The Head Ballet, such as this one about Sue Wilkinson’s amazing 1980 tune You've Gotta Be A Hustler If You Wanna Get On with guest Catrin Lowe plinkhq.com/i/1516546969...

Hullo. Hope you’re all having nice weekends. Just a quick reminder that there’ll be a couple of weeks without episodes now. We’ll be back as soon as possible. Nice plans and some sadly not so nice things have meant we’re off schedule at the moment.

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

A quick hop to Baker’s Mews in Marylebone where once our beloved Beatles posed in 1964.

Why couldn’t it have been like this when I went to Dungeon Lane? #bluesuburbanskies

1 April 1961 The Beatles began their second stint in Hamburg this time playing at the Top Ten Club. Bass player Stuart Sutcliffe gradually withdrew from the band at this time leading Paul McCartney to buy his iconic Hofner violin bass later that month from the Steinway Musikhaus, Colonnaden 29

Quite prepared for that eventuality: My BFI Classics book on the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night is out tomorrow (June 11 in USA), and there's an audio book too, recorded by me. 10% discount if you order direct from the @bloomsburymedia.bsky.social website... www.bloomsbury.com/uk/hard-days...

1961 already. Here's a 1960 playlist open.spotify.com/playlist/1nC...

Good morning! We have reached 1961, and the top 100 continues to surprise, delight and baffle in equal measure with easy listening instrumentals, galloping rock n roll, and the first ever chart topping girl group. We're off next week for easter so will see you after that! plinkhq.com/i/1531129636...

The weather in Liverpool has been horrible, but that hasn’t stopped your intrepid reporter Paul “BBSO” Abbott investigating on your behalf! youtu.be/PdtxqGaSCdY?...
