Can’t wait!
Currently reading this and…
… it is superb!
Rarely do Beatles books so perfectly capture the joy of the Fabs this eloquently. Samira not only highlights their cultural significance but backs it up with her enthusiastically nerdish passion for research.
One of those rare Beatles books - a must!
Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...
Ever wondered who everyone was on the Sgt Pepper album cover? Wonder no longer as @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social has nailed ’em all down! sgtpepperphotos.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/16/
It’s all out there on boots, but this seems to be a collection of the best quality versions.
*Cough*

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.
Happy New Year, beautiful Beatles community!

I see you @noveltyisland.bsky.social ! (1.06)
Exciting Beatles news for 2026!
A brilliant show with the incredible levels of research you’d expect from the ‘big dog’!
Bring it on!
It’s usually the argument that Leave My Kitten Alone was a stronger track but left off. I’ve always loved this track because it fits snugly on Beatles For Sale - and there’s no other Beatles song like it.
That Beatles song that so many people dismissed - turns out that it’s one of John’s finest vocal performances

Ahh, fantastic! Happy Christmas, Ant.

Any tech people know how to help the brilliant Beatles Bible appeal against the FB ban? An incredible long term resource, removed for ridiculous (and incorrect) reasons. If there’s a way where the Beatles community can get together to appeal please help!
Definitely the one!
In terms of 60s, John and Paul’s ‘66 interview with Keith Fordyce is as relaxed (very much so) and un-PR as you’ll get.
And incredibly entertaining

Original lyrics then…
Verse 1:
How can I conceal the thrill that I feel?
Is our love still real?
Tell me if this is so, I wanna know.
Verse 2:
I saw you today and I asked you to stay,
But you ran away,
Tell me why this is so, I wanna know.
And there’s more!
The full ‘63 acetate of What Goes On! Almost unrecognisable from the finished version on Rubber Soul, you can hear that the guitar pattern would later be repurposed for I’ll Cry Instead.

And not forgetting this! (With thanks to @parlogram.bsky.social )

Wonderful!

And, also for Cilla, It’s For You (the full version has been auctioned/sold multiple times, so would be easy to grab hold of)

Both Anthology 4 demo should’ve-beens.
Along with Cilla’s demo for Step Inside Love…

(Misery lyrics sung from the perspective of a female singer - ie: Helen Shapiro)
Despite the YouTube comments claiming “AI!” these are The Beatles’ demos of Love of the Loved (for Cilla Black) and Misery, with different lyrics. Anyone who saw Evolver ‘63 will remember a snippet of the latter.
Astounding that new Fabs material is still emerging!
