Captions are being worked on, and should be live sometime this weekend. As always, thank you for watching!

Happy to see MicTheSnare shining a light on underground talent!

We all know that their undisputed masterpiece is the generation-defining song “It’s Okay To Leave Your Dog In A Hot Car.”

George's Indian-influenced Beatles songs rarely get enough love. The fact that they're still pretty out-there even today shows how much of an OG he really was.

[JKenjiLopezAlt]

I love the ending of she’s so heavy and how it transitions into here comes the sun. One of the greatest moments in their catalogue as far as I’m concerned. It’s genius how oppressive the end of side one feels then the literal breath of sunshine side two starts with. It helps when you had it on physics media and needed to manually fill the record or the tape to start side two.

"Producer Phil Spector was brought on, who was known for just killing it when it came to production, just absolutely murdering it."
MIC PLEASE

Fun fact! The shows at the Budokan in Japan were a big reason as to why they stopped wanting to perform live. The crowd in Japan were much more respectful that most, which led to them being quiet. That led to the boys actually being able to hear themselves, which itself led to them realizing how awfully they were playing. There's even a clip from one of the shows where they play If I Needed Someone, where George gets so mad at how they sound that he sings "If I fuckin' needed someone". (This is my favorite Beatles fact and I'll never ever stop sharing it.)

Everyone agrees The White Album has filler. Noone can agree what the filler songs are though.

Fun fact: it is physiologically impossible for humans to hear Ringo Starr speak and not immediately image he's narrating Thomas The Tank Engine.

In Abbey Road's defense, it was made during a time when the main way to listen to music was on vinyl. So when I Want You (She's So Heavy) had that abrupt ending, the band stated that the original intent was for you to be left in silence for a bit, before playing the second side. I honestly think of it as a brief pause between two short albums playing back to back, but that's just me

I loved when the Beattles released "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" in 1996

[collegeman]

The Beatles took such a long break in 1966, it ended up being 1996 when they released the single Paperback Writer/Rain 20:32

30 years is a really, really long break.

25:22 my grandfather was a teen turning to 20s during Beatles mania and he had a mono and stereo pressing for each release. And luckily, he got a butcher cover. When he passed, I inherited all his records, including his research on the butcher cover controversy. Thank god my grandpa was a Beatles lover

[Rubberfooted]

She’s Leaving Home is the most under-appreciated Beatles track and I will back it till the day I die.

[chrissennfelder]

"Tomorrow never knows" was absurdly ahead of its time. Amazing song.

[PhysalisAngulataNicotina]

It's so nice to see you shedding some light on lesser known bands like The Beatles

[grrrrarrgh]

I understand being upset about weird tracklist choices, but the hard cut on “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” is the end of side A of Abbey Road. Then you flip the record, and “Here Comes The Sun” plays, a perfect intro to Side B. I do get how on streaming though this would be odd :)

This was my dad's favourite band. I never got into the Beatles because I gravitated towards the harder stuff my mom liked.
Hell, my mom got me into White Snake, Black Sabbath and Maiden.

But listening to you explain them, explain what they sounded like and why they were important. It brought me a little closer to my father, he would have loved it had he still been here.

Thank you.

“They brought on Phil Spector, who’s known for just killing it when it came to production, just absolutely murdering it.”

I see what you did there, Mic.

[TomboyCEO]

Ringo really seems like a great dude just doing whatever makes him happy.
