Series (3) :- The solo years ‘What a great idea!’

“The Abbotts (Garry & Paul) have never failed to impress and entertain with their ‘TBBSO’ podcast however in my opinion they’ve upped their game even further in series 3 with the inspired idea of a deep dive into the ‘Beatles’ solo years… Each week a lucky dip(or otherwise) of randomly selected Beatle solo tracks are discussed and rated on their comparative ‘merits’.
Being a Beatles fan for 40+ years I can still genuinely say that for me there is so much ‘new ground’ to be explored here and songs I have simply never come across before (some for probably very good reasons ) so thank you Garry and Paul for being the most engaging of hosts and for this fresh exploration of music which veers between timeless classics, the downright dated, under developed ideas (the songs that could have been, the songs that could never have been) , formulaic pop and songs which would never have made it past the Beatles quality control etc etc… This is the show more than any other that proves just how much the Beatles needed each other professionally. It highlights their all too ‘human’ ‘solo output’ musical frailties (alongside the brilliance of course)and makes for fascinating comparison with their collective mythology and perceived ‘otherworldliness’ of ‘Beatledom’”

“I really enjoyed the Big Beatles Sort out and reviewed it a couple of years ago.
I wondered what would happen when the songs ran out and although I enjoyed the next few series that followed, this one is a very good idea.
The context of the Beatle timeline with the other chart toppers of the day...”Read full review »
