-
Beatle Bottoms (Replay!)
Beatle Bottoms. To some, bottoms is a synonym for “tushie”, as they say in the industry. For Tony & T.J., it’s their least favourite Fab 4 songs. And boy do they just disagree. But there ain’t no good guy, there ain’t no bad guy, there’s only this deluxe reissue of one of our favorite early...
-
U.S. Rubber Soul Part 2 (Replay from 2021!)
Originally aired May 22, 2021 ----- The British Rubber Soul is for the birds! OK, that might be a little aggressive. The album's a masterpiece, but T.J. and Tony make a pretty compelling argument that nobody really misses "What Goes On," and that Dave Dexter's U.S. version for Capitol Records is...
-
U.S. Rubber Soul Part 1 (Replay from 2021!)

Paul McCartney, "Press to Play" (1986) Part 2
“Oklahoma was never like this?” Really, Sir Paul? AGAIN with the complaining about the 1999, Hugh Jackman-led revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first banger? Oh sure, Paul - go ahead and be all Tipper Gore-y about that opening scene where Aunt Eller is churning butter like some barnyard horndog,...
-
Paul McCartney, "Press to Play" (1986) Part 1
Forgive us, dear reader, for sounding Jaded. But most real McCartney fans will admit that Aerosmith’s 2001 LP “Just Push Play” is better than literally any solo Macca; and perhaps even better than most Beatles albums. (*Does not include “Live At The Star Club Vol. 2”) But, in turn, would there…

The Year Without a BeatleFest
Listen. Do you hear that? Those are crickets. Crickets at the Marriott Suites O’Hare, abandoned site of Chicago’s Fest for Beatles Fans. Unfortunately, there are no humans at this year’s festival as it has been postponed to retool. #KitO’ReToole Some of the crickets are in ill-fitting Sgt Pepper...

Beatle-esque Bangers IV (Part 2)
Beatle Bangers? I barely even Beatle knew’ers! Is this thing on? No, for real, is this thing on? The microphone in my hand, I mean. Is it on? Can people hear these bits or is the silence merely judgement? What if the XLR is broken? Or the DI? Maybe the audio fella’s on coke? Surely that’s…

Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9 Part 2
The Untitled Beatles Podcast has done it! We are Free As A Bird from Disney’s Beatles Anthology! There were moments of Real Love; Now And Then. But would the new Episode 9, comprised largely from the 2003 Special Features DVD, provide some Hope Of Deliverance? Would the new episode finally bring...

Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 2
Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, “Where the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes?" Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, “No Fireman? No interest”. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, “Why won’t woke Macca record with current,...
-
Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 1
Two forever fab octogenarian knights have both released brand new albums in this, the space age year of 2026. Truly a remarkable achievement. Meanwhile, two grotty quinquagenarian jagwads attempt to sort through all of the permutations and variations of the latest of these offerings, Sir Paul...
-
Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 8
What’s the worst decision in Beatles history? Some might say it’s John’s “bigger than Jesus” remark, or letting “Magical Mystery Tour” air in black & white on the BBC. And yet, as decided by the good folks at Disney+/Apple/Calderstone/Zaappderstone, it would appear that the single most egregious...
-

Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live (2026)
For over 50 years, Saturday Night Live has been one of the most Important shows for rock music in the history of the nascent television medium. While, arguably, the most famous moment in the show’s history (and Tony’s favorite?) is RHCP’s multi-key 1992 version of “Under The Bridge”, there have...

-
George Harrison, "Cloud Nine" (1987) Side 2
It’s one of the biggest albums of the late 1980’s. No, not “Small World”, Huey Lewis & The News’ misguided attempt at a jazz-pop record that sadly gave us a song called “Bobo Tempo”, and can be found in near mint condition for a dollar in used record bins across the country. Rather, dear bleeder,...
-
George Harrison, "Cloud Nine" (1987) Side 1
Look. George Harrison took five years after "Gone Troppo" to complete his 1987 masterpiece "Cloud Nine", so excuse us if we take a couple weeks to wrap up our long awaited deep dish. This week, the Untitled Twotles finally get around to talking about side one, and promise not to wreck the episode...
-
George Harrison, "Cloud Nine" (1987)
After spending the past three weeks in 1995’s Anthology universe, the Untitled Beatles Podcast needs a break. So this week… we head WAY BACK… to 1987. That’s right. At long last, by popular demand—LLGH! Cheers, big ears!—Tony and T.J. delve into George Harrison’s smash-hit solo record, “Cloud...
-
Anthology 2025 Episode 6
Some say the “Sgt. Pepper”, post-touring era is the peak of The Beatles recorded music. Others prefer Korn. For those who are slightly more into The Beatles, Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey deep dish Episode 6 of “The Beatles Anthology”. This has always been one of the most fertile and astonishing...
-
Anthology 2025 Episode 5
Real Beatlefans have been saying it on the DL (#JimmyButler) for years: "Who the hell needs Rubber Soul?" Certainly not “The Beatles Anthology”, which puts nearly as much emphasis on the 1965 classic as they do “The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl” (Pre-Ron Howard Edition). OK so maybe it’s not…
more -
Anthology 2025 Episode 4
Wait no more, it’s Anthology 4! It’s better streaming, and also way worse! It’s shorter, which is nice, and also truly stupid. Official Beatles history is being re-written forever, a travesty that's never sounded or looked so good. Yes, if you’ve also found yourself stroking out at the tightening...

The Beatles Live at Stowe School (1963) | Replay!
Originally released September 23, 2023 No less an authority than Mark Lewisohn knows that the skiing scene in "Help!" was filmed in Stowe VT, during the 1997 Winter X-Games, exclusively on ESPN. But before (ahem, #apres) skiing was a very Beatles activity, Stowe was known as a small British boys...
-
Anthology 2025 Episodes 2 + 3
We pick up where we left off, in March 1963. The Gab Two follow the Fab Four along their journey in Anthology episodes 2 and 3: touring Britain, navigating Beatlemania, (probably) disappointing the Queen Mother, (probably) disappointing the boys in Paris, and—just in case you haven’t had enough...
-
Anthology 2025 Episode 1
Short attention spans. Am I right? I mean you’re reading this right now, when you could be with your family or punching a Nazi. (We at the UBP heartily encourage both.) Fortunately, the good folks at Apple & Disney are well aware of short attention span syndrome, most felt during slow dissolves…

Anthology 2025 Documentary First Impressions
Many Beatles scholars (NOT YOU, Lewisohn) often cite this familiar and prophetic John Lennon quote: "It came in a vision – a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From 2020 on, all crucial Beatles film projects will be kept behind a Disney paywall, where you will pay to subscribe and...

Beatles Anthology Collection 4 (2025)
Attention Wealthy Beatles Fans (TM)! How do you feel about 13 tracks? No, not “of whack”, as Walter Becker might have presented us, while he was still alive anyway. But rather, 13 tracks of unearthed Beatles demos & takes, nearly all of which are pure gems, now available on “Anthology 4”.…

Beatles Anthology Collection 1 – 3 (2025)
It only took 29 years, but we Beatles fans finally have what we’ve all been clamoring for: instrumental “Fool On The Hill.” That’s right, Anthology 4 has arrived! Are you excited? We fans love sequels! Maybe it’s an appetizer to George Harrison’s “Early Takes Volume 2”, which is tentatively...
