Episode 97- John Lennon in 1967 with Tony Green (Part 3 of 3)
December 06, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 158 MBWe conclude our 1967 odyssey by picking up from mid-June and detailing all the main Lennon and Beatles events for the rest of 1967. The Beatles are linked by satellite to hundreds of millions, they almost buy a Greek island, the Maharishi enters their lives and they make their own TV special just in time for it to be shown in black-and-white among the traditional wholesome Yuletide entertainment. In between all this, the rather sad life of Brian Epstein comes to an end, John Lennon...

We cover the recording, album cover, launch party, release and legacy of ‘Pepper’, as well as some of the other songs recorded around the...
Episode 95: John Lennon In 1967 with Tony Green (Part 1 of 3)
October 16, 2023 16:37 - 1 hour - 150 MB1967 is a year that has gone into legend for various reasons. Was it the year of peace and love? Was there any real love in it at all? Or was it just like any other year, a heady mix of everything good and bad about the human race and society? Before looking at what was undoubtedly a ground-breaking and life-changing year for John Lennon and The Beatles, myself and my guest, writer Tony Green, have a look at the year of 1967 out there in the big, bad world. As is traditional in this seri...

Every year in the Beatles story from around 1960 was packed with activity and full of psychodrama, and 1962 is no exception. As ever, there are interesting audio clips to complement the conversation, and our two intr...

June 24, 2023 07:37 - 2 hours - 167 MBOur latest Lennon odyssey starts with a review of the events of 1962, a tangential conversation in which Antony and guest David ‘Ghosty’ Wills freewheel into all kinds of other territory before setting the listeners up with some pre-1962 context on the Beatles’ progress on their own journey to musical and cultural world domination. 1962 was marked by a massive historical event, the Cuban Missile Crisis, which happened in the same year as the first appearances in the world of the Beatles’ m...

May 25, 2023 07:10 - 1 hour - 134 MBWe complete our latest Lennon journey with the conclusion of my analysis of some of the more telling quotes from the series of interviews conducted in September 1980 for Playboy magazine by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

The interviews offer a fascinating and multi-layered study of a highly eccentric artist and also form an integral part of the official narrative of John and Yoko’s relationship in 1980 before John’s sudden and brutal demise.

The Beatles And A Mass of Humanity
January 31, 2023 22:39The Beatles were a pop/rock group and were and are a phenomenon that has been a major part of my life and my psyche for over 30 years, ever since the day in about 1988 when a boy in his early teens brought up on mainly commercial 1980s music suddenly encountered music that was largely new to his ears but which had been created 25 years previously. The music I'd known up to that point mainly featured the 'self-conscious synths' of the New Romantics and the 4-minute single created by gifted so...
The Rather Strange Last Day In The Life of John Lennon
January 31, 2023 22:35First, the facts as they are known John Lennon was born in 1940 and died in 1980, 2 months after his 40th birthday. It's fair to say that he packed a lot of living into his half-a-lifetime, and it's also universally acknowledged that his death in New York on Monday December 8th 1980 came as a huge shock worldwide, prompting a mass outpouring of grief which seemed to be particularly strong in America, more so than in England, the place of Lennon's birth. Inevitably, there have been rumours ...
Bonus Episode #13- John Lennon Compilation Albums (Antony on 'When They Was Fab' podcast)
January 28, 2023 15:41 - 1 hour - 115 MBCompilation albums come in many shapes and sizes and some can be justified while others rely on good marketing and glossy packaging to persuade consumers to part with their hard-earned money for the same material. This is an appearance by your humble host on the ‘When they Was Fab’ podcast back in December 2020 discussing the mind-boggling number of John Lennon compilation albums that have been foisted on the public since 1975. The conversation is preceded by a long introduction from Ant...

Well, I give it a shot in a podcast of 3 sections, looking at common Lennon/McCartney tropes and assumptions, giving a guitar & vocal lesson on the song 'Two Of Us' and then walking you through the highly entertaining 2000 TV film 'Two Of Us', directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and starring Aiden Quinn and Jared Harris.

There are some warm-up questions as well and we go pretty deep into the multi-faceted enigma that was John Lennon Enjoy! Pl...

May 26, 2022 21:05 - 1 hour - 74.8 MBJohn Lennon was a unique live performer, both with The Beatles and in his solo career, though following his split with the Fabs he showed a reluctance to play full concerts and so we should cherish what little we have in that regard. This 2-parter on John’s live career sees documentarian Chris Purcell make a welcome return to the show. In this part, we look at the Beatles’ live work up to Candlestick Park in 1966 and Chris casts his expert eye on the films made of some of their concerts En...

Episode 75- John Lennon in 1969 with Scott Phipps (Part 1 of 2)
January 26, 2022 13:54 - 1 hour - 119 MB1969 was, even by the standards of the tumultuous decade of the 60s, a remarkably eventful year both for John Lennon and the world at large. Scott Phipps makes a welcome return to the podcast for a 2-parter about John in this year. I should come clean and say that there is very little John Lennon/Beatles in this part, so call it a build-up to the main event. There’s plenty of gold here though as we look at the events, births & deaths, films and non-Lennon music of this remarkable 12 months ...
