Ed, Kit and Martin go chronologically through the singles releases of The Beatles, discussing what inspired the band in the charts, and any links there were with other artists.

May 1964 (side A)
Around the Beatles aired in the UK sixty years ago, so we look at "the other acts" on that show. (See "When They Was Fab" 2024.17, April 28 for Kit and I talking about the Beatles side of things). Additionally, the British charts for May 1964. Amongst other things, we celebrate the 95th anniversary of Burt Bacharach's birth and talk "Baby It's You". #madeonZencastr
-
April 1964 (side C)
The Billboard charts for the final two weeks of April 1964. Rampant Beatlemania (not starring Terri Hemmert), and a couple of tunes that must be heard to be believed! #MadeonZencastr
-
April 1964 (side B)
The Billboard Charts for the first two weeks of April, 1964. The Beatles rule the roost, but Motown continues churning out commercial and critical darlings (My Guy), and Burt Bacharach gives Dionne Warwick a song which will become one of the all-time greats of rock and roll. #MadeonZencastr #FabFaux #MagicalMysteryCamp

April 1964 (side A)
The Beatles have conquered the Billboard charts, so we examine some of the news stories from the month. Additionally, the British charts for April 1964. Eden Kane, Shirley Bassey, the Four Pennies, the Undertakers, the Merseybeats and a horn player to be named later! #madeonZencastr
-
March 1964 (side C)
More from March of 1964. Even more Beatles on the charts, but figures including Lenny Welch, The Shirelles, Tony Bennett, Bobby Goldsboro and others you may or may not remember continue to make appearances. #madeonZencastr
-
March 1964 (side B)
Beatlemania, Beatlemania, Beatlemania!!! (and it hasn't even reached it's Zenith). Lots and lots of Beatles, but also Jan and Dean (and Mel Blanc) The Four Preps, Dale and Grace, Nino and April and more! #madeonZencastr
Customer Reviews
A Great Listen
Absolutely love seeing this show pop up in my feed. Amusing, informative, and - to this 73 year old hippie and lover of music good, bad and awesome - a nostalgic reminder of musical history and the days (and nights) of interesting radio. Can’t get enough of the three distinct personalities. All good!
Great Idea
Great idea for a show! I learn a lot every episode. -Andy D
