Red Rose Speedway 50th Anniversary Part 3
from Untitled Beatles Podcast · host Untitled Podcast Productions LLC
How much 'Red Rose Speedway' is too much Red Rose Speedway? It’s the age old question. Paul wanted it to be a 2-LP set. EMI said, “no”. And, with that, Macca’s recording career was effectively over. So today we’ll look at Julian Lennon’s 1989 hit, “Mr. Jordan”! [BUZZER SFX] No! It’s actually Part Three of our 17-part deep dish full-on-sausage-patty salute to Wings’ 2nd album, which sadly does not feature “Thank You Girl”. THANKS FOR NADA, DAVE DEXTER. This week, we look at Paul’s original 2-LP iteration of this title, which finally surfaced as a limited vinyl set in 2018. Is it an improvement on the single (pigeon) album we've known for 50 years? Tony & T.J. select the best of the best of tracks left off the original Red-and/or-Blue Rose Speedway, and along the way they ponder: 🚗 If Willie Dixon is also Willie Nelson, did Harry Nilsson drive a Nissan? 🦅 Is the civil rights anthem “Blackbird” also Paul’s most nazty, bangin’ f**k tune? 🥞🍳🥓 Woah woah woah woah! Woah woah woah woah! Does Denny’s do it good? #MoonsOverMyHandy EPISODE LINKS: Like and subscribe! Please support our scrappy show.
