from I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast! · host I’ve Got A Beatles Podcast

Thank you for helping us reach 250 episodes! To celebrate, we're finally diving into one of our most requested albums: Back to the Egg by Paul McCartney and Wings, released in 1979. Long overlooked and still awaiting a super deluxe reissue—alongside London Town—this record has become a fan favorite in recent years. But is it a hidden gem or rightfully criticized? Does it deserve a reappraisal, and why hasn't it been re-released since its 1993 "remaster?" We explore all this and more, including a full track-by-track breakdown. As always, we wrap up with the latest Beatles news. Here is Chris's "Scrambled Egg" song reordering of the album. Check out Chris's recent interview appearance with Thomas Gouker and Brooke Halpin! And Thomas speaking with Dave from a while back! Feel free to email or record a message about this episode to [email protected] and we'll include you in our "Please Mr. Postman" segment.
