Producing The Beatles
@ptbeatles.bsky.social
A podcast about collaboration, creativity and, of course, the Beatles! Recommended by 9 out of 10 dentists
Part of the fun of making the podcast is in discovering how sometimes disparate or obscure things are connected, and I love books that do the same. I'm just finishing Stephen Greenblatt's Will In the World, which also connects the dots (for Shakespeare) in a similar, very satisfying way.

Rewatched this recently because I needed something old fashioned & charming. Seems like an absolutely lost world now (except for the mens' attitudes, which chafed a bit), but still gorgeous looking as ever. Professionally obligated Beatle connection: Larry Adler later worked with G Martin

Apologies for the delay on the next episode of the podcast. Been busy with regular work but also a continuing problem with my LG monitor. Sending it in for repair a SECOND time. I will never buy another LG product.

Whatever you do, don't show this to Chuck Berry's publisher

When we did the All Things Must Pass book I told Ken Womack I wanted to “do a Lewisohn.” Mal’s diaries allowed us to achieve that for the revised paperback. Here’s a clip from the Sessionography appendix

This is definitely a sign of madness: I'm updating the spreadsheet of all available Beatles studio outtakes I started back in 2014, adding the last few box sets & now Anthology 4. Items in red were released officially, though not all are easy to find! #OCD #Beatles

I want to work on the next episode but I’ve been forced to take a break by my manager

Seems like someone needs to make their own podcast about Beatles mix variations

As my slideshow reels of Beatles isolated vocals have gone viral over on Instagram, the interactions have been overwhelmingly positive, which is a small miracle considering what often happens when things go into the hundreds of thousands. Let’s call it Beatles magic.

As mentioned on the podcast, some promo photos for George Martin's 1962 "Ray Cathode" experiment with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

Feels like a good day to announce the new season of Producing the Beatles. S2 E1 will be available Monday, 11/10. Set your podcast clocks! I can't wait to start sharing what I've been working on.

Here’s the tape box of side 2 of the album master tape, which was cut together 21 June 1962

The resulting album was “A Combination of Cribbins,” featuring more songs by the authors of the two singles, Ted Dicks & Myles Rudge, as well as a surprisingly straight cover of “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face”

I’ll have to check this out! list I love this period so much I made a mixtape for myself on my phone of a bunch of this stuff a few years ago and listen to it regularly. About half of it came from this set
