In which Gary Wenstrup and I return where we left off in
offering our picks in ranking Bronze, Silver and Gold tracks off of
The Beatles’ 1965 releases, as well as a little beyond. This show
represents the first hour of our conversation – part two coming
next.
First 50 respondents get a SATB bumper magnet (US only) but
all are encouraged to help us get sponsors on board – thank
you!
We commence Beatles
Olympiad 2, where we left off, which was starting with their fifth
album released in the summer of 1965, Help! Got two albums out of
them that year, one being a soundtrack, more or less. It certainly
was in the States and Capitol. Then the year ended with a bang,
with Rubber Soul; two versions of that. Then in the next year, we
got only one new album of material out of them, Revolver. In the
States, it being the States, we got another one of those
Capitol-only issues, which I think we will talk about today.
Because I don’t know if we’re going to talk about Oldies, which
came out on Parlophone, the end of ’66, while they were working on
Strawberry Fields, but we’ll see what we feel like. For the show, I
think we can talk about the UK Help!, both Rubber Souls and
Yesterday and Today.
