231 Beatles Olympiad: Help! & Rubber Soul +

from Something About the Beatles · host Evergreen Podcasts

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.    Loyal SATB fans: we are asking for you to take a minute to fill in this survey   https://tinyurl.com/y2y3crxm    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
