Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 264 - Were the Solo Beatles Culturally Influential In the 70s? Fab4Free4All 2025-07-23 | In the 60's The Beatles consistently broke new ground in all aspects of culture and were, arguably, an incredible influence on all aspects of life worldwide.

Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 260 - Daytime Revolution (Movie): Analysis and Review Fab4Free4All 2024-09-30 | #beatles #johnlennon #fab4free4allFor a full week in February of 1972, the seemingly improbable happened. A very popular daytime talk/variety television program, The Mike Douglas Show, had John Lennon and Yoko Ono as its guest co-hosts.As popular as it was, The Mike Douglas Show was considered to be pretty “vanilla “ and was not known for promoting anything near controversial. The show was the last place the world thought that they would see the likes of John and Yoko espousing their beliefs, let alone activists Jerry Rubin and Bobby Seale. But for this auspicious event, John and Yoko had an agenda to further “the movement". What TV viewers actually saw was a week of song, fun and education, the likes of which had never been seen on daytime talk shows, and may never be seen again.The Fab 4 Free 4 All reviews the documentary “Daytime Revolution” which transports its audience back to that week in February 1972. People involved with this historic week provide the context to allow the modern viewer to fully understand what was happening during those turbulent times, and, consequently why these five episodes of daytime TV were much more important than we may have realized at the time.If you enjoy this episode, please click 'subscribe' and check out our other shows here on YouTube.

Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 258 - Paul McCartney & Wings One Hand Clapping: Analysis & Review Fab4Free4All 2024-06-15 | In August 1974, Paul McCartney and the latest (recently formed!) version of Wings went into E.M.I. Studios (Abbey Road) for four days. The new band was coming hot off a fruitful trip to Nashville, and the band was smokin'. They performed many songs live in the studio in rehearsal for a possible live album. Paul also recorded some solo tunes in the studio's 'backyard'. These sessions, along with a number of band interviews, were filmed by David Litchfield for a TV special to be called 'One Hand Clapping.' Although promo materials were prepared, the project was scrapped until now, on the fiftieth anniversary of its creation, when 'One Hand Clapping' has finally been officially released. Some of the material has been made available in the past on different 'McCartney Archive' sets, but this is an expanded version of the original project. The guys of Fab 4 Free 4 All review the release and give their opinions on whether it was worth the almost 50-year wait.

Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 251 - Beatles Exploitation Albums Fab4Free4All 2023-08-29 | 1964 was an incredible year for Beatles fans, particularly in America. But it was also a weird, wacky and confusing time for those fans! Not only were there several releases featuring actual Beatles music on several different labels, but there were even more albums released to "Capitol-ize" on the mania. (See what we did there!) Referred to as 'Beatles exploitation' or 'covers' albums, these releases were simply a money grab for wanna-be entrepreneurs who thought they could make a quick buck. Buyers of these albums were often duped into thinking that they actually contained music by the Fabs, usually because of deceptive album covers, song titles and descriptions of the content. In this fun and informative episode, the Fab 4 Free 4 All are joined by historian Bob Koenig, who has meticulously researched this often overlooked part of Beatlemania.Grab a copy of the magazine featuring Bob's article at http://twomorrows.com.

Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 248 - John Lennon and May Pang The Lost Weekend: A Love Story Fab4Free4All 2023-03-19 | #johnlennon, #lostweekendIn the Summer of 1973, Yoko Ono kicked John Lennon out of their home and "set him up" with their young secretary, May Pang. The subsequent 18 month period of self-introspection and productivity became, somehow, known as “The Lost Weekend.” Yet May gave John the confidence and freedom to record and produce great music, rekindle his relationship with Julian, and even hang out with old friends like Paul McCartney. John was hardly "lost" at all. In this episode of Fab 4 Free 4 All, the guys have a candid conversation with May Pang about her time as John Lennon’s partner. They also discuss the new documentary “The Lost Weekend: A Love Story," and the exhibit of May's photos launching in 2023.Click http://www.thelostweekendtickets.com for more information about the film, and the locations that are showing it.

Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 247 - The Beatles 20 Greatest Hits vs. 1 Fab4Free4All 2023-03-11 | #beatles, #fab4free4allThroughout the course of the past 50+ years since the Beatles' break-up, Apple Records has released many different compilations of the group's songs, but only two true "greatest hits packages"; “20 Greatest Hits” and “1.” While 1982's “20 Greatest Hits” sold fairly well, the 2000 release “1” outsold it many times over. In this informative and thought provoking episode, the guys of Fab 4 Free 4 All examine the two packages, and offer their theories of why “1” has become one of the biggest selling albums of all time, while “20 Greatest Hits” has become an out of print footnote in the Beatles history.If you enjoy this episode, please click 'Subscribe' and check out our other shows here on YouTube.

Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 244 - Roots of John Lennons Rock and Roll Lawsuit (with Jay Bergen) Fab4Free4All 2022-11-27 | In 1970 music publisher and mobster Morris Levy sued John Lennon for copyright infringement, due to perceived similarities between ‘Come Together’ and ‘You Can’t Catch Me.’ Years later, to settle the suit, Lennon agreed to record and release three Levy-owned songs on his next album, which was to be a collection of cover versions of 'oldies but goodies'. Sessions for that album were fraught with issues, and ultimately shelved when Lennon began concentrating on what would become ‘Walls and Bridges.’Under a set of bizarre circumstances, an unhappy Levy was given rough mixes of the oldies album... by John. This led to Levy's release of the album ‘Roots’, which was sold by mail order and through TV commercials.Jay Bergen was Lennon’s lawyer throughout the ensuing legal battle. In this informative and entertaining show, we interview Jay, who’s book “Lennon, the Mobster and the Lawyer” is a fascinating read.If you enjoy this episode, please click 'Subscribe' and check out our other shows here on YouTube.
