CD single for Now and Then now available as a UK Import. Great to have the old gang back together again. Thank you gentlemen for years of great content
One big “thing” that saves Magical Mystery Tour is one thing…damn good music! Simply put!
There is great music in the Broadstreet film as well
So great seeing and hearing you all together!
Nostalgia feelings!
Congratulations on 400 episodes
Not sure if I've listened to all 400 episodes, but certainly very close to that! Thank you all.
Just grateful for the music
Congratulations. Great content.
Congratulations on 400!
After several listens of Now and Then, I think its absolutely great. Maybe not a single if released back in the 60's, but would have made a great album track. John's voice sounds fantastic. Definitely happy Paul insisted on finishing this off. Well done....
Great episode and good to see the whole crew. Congratulations on 400 episodes. I have only been following this sho for a few years but I have gone back to listen to shows from previous years. Thanks for providing such great entertainment to the Beatle community!
I’ve preordered Now And Then from iTunes, the cassette single from the official Beatles website, and I plan to get the new Red & Blue albums on CD. I’ve been a Beatles fan since the original Red & Blue’s were released in 1973. I was about 6 years old. I’ve since bought the entire catalog of albums from both UK and US. (EMI and Capitol that is). I don’t have a turntable worthy of the Beatles, so I’ll stay with CDs and cassettes for my physical media. I will NEVER give up on physical media.
It’s a horrid horrid trick not listenable
Svveet.

Great to see you all together! Have been listening/ watching since 2014.
Congratulations on 400 episodes! I've been listening since 2014. Nice to see all the hosts together!
Congrats on #400! I think I’ve probably heard them all! Great to see everyone back! Great show. I’m really enjoying all the “buzz!”
Congratulations on 400 episodes Darren, Allan and Ken. Something about the Beatles was the first podcast I started listening to and I listened to that right before this, and I recommend that if you have time you listen to every episode. I have listened to the Fab Forum show many times and like Al I love when a kid as young as 8 calls in. The Beatles music is truly timeless. My only complaint about the red and blue albums is that why isn't Helter Skelter included in the set list? It's one of the most hard rocking Beatles songs which young people should absolutely hear.
Congrats on 400+ episodes. The first Denny Seiwell interview is one that came to mind immediately, and of course Peter Jackson. But there were many great episodes. Never heard the Magical Mystery Tour episode, need to go back to that one. Here's to 400 more episodes!!
Thanks guys from New Zealand...I first heard you guys with the Peter Jackson interview which was totally absorbing from start to finish...
It's 1 am here Friday, expecting Now And Then to be released at 2am our time...
The Peter Jackson interview was epic! I watched every second, it’s how I found you guys and since then I have followed religiously!👍
Congratulations on your 400th episode.
Congrats to the 400th. Nice to see Al Sussman and Steve Marinucci once more... memories and qualities...
Congratulations I’ve been listening since beginning
I live at 1a Abbey Road, next to the Abbey Road Studios and the infamous Crossing. I can see studio 1 5m away from my window. I was 2 when they did that photo and till today I am heartened to see fans coming to commemorate the music. The Crossing is protected legally as a historic site too. I’m still waiting for Paul to come have tea at my place.
400 congrats!!! Love the whole gang!! Fab 5 … do more
Al in the top left hand corner looks a bit like a Russian James bond villain. Hope I haven't offended anyone. Another excellent show.
About that guy who wrongly said that George hated Paul,Paul held George's hand while he was dying of cancer.
Outside of the Jackson interview, my favorite was the Mark Lewisohn interview. Also, I really liked the guy - sorry, can't remember his name - who is a bassist, and helped explain the brilliance of Paul's playing on "Something," among other things.
I was quite moved by "Now And Then." I don't know that it was specifically the objective song, itself, but the sentiment behind it. It seems to have gained resonance in the world at large in a post-Covid world. It also has some personal resonance in it as I've since lost both of my in-laws in the last 5 months or so.
I'd never heard the demo before so this was brand new. It sounds like a song they might have worked on in the early 80's if the rumor is true that John and Paul had planned on getting together in early '81.
In regards to Allan's comments about any future Anthology release...wouldn't it be great if they released an entire disc of the evolution of "Strawberry Fields Forever?"
I kind of feel like this wasn't thought out very well and may have been a rush for Christmas. Normally there would have been more lead time. I agree about Now and Then being on Anthology 3 and re doing those and expanding them. I was thinking that maybe there will be a CD release that would contain: Free as a Bird, Real Love and Now and Then but who knows. The only thing wrong with Magical Mystery Tour is that it was shown in B&W on Boxing Day; I wonder if there is footage laying around that Peter Jackson could restore? I am not very happy with the "covers" that were placed on the Red album and I am also wondering if the Red/Blue really need to be done or if they could have made a new greatest hits or compilation package altogether and used the three Anthology period singles in that. I loved the Red/Blue albums when they came out and I guess with the new vinyl era "greatest hits "makes some sense again. I am looking forward to Rubber Soul and am hoping for more bonus material for a revamped Get Back or even if it were put as bonus in the upcoming Let it Be DVD (if they do it). Congrats on #400! I hadn't heard about I am the Walrus being different that the version on the original release...different how?
Killer comment. But a lil' sour-puss. Get back. XO.
On a positive note......I forgot to congradulate you all on the 400th episode....I enjoy them!
After your 400th show maybe you can set up a link so we can suggest topics and guests.
Also it's not only Beatles podcasts that are popular but UA-cam Beatles channels that have 1000's of subscribers like yours.
Looking at the album charts you can work out why Apple is reissuing the Red and Blue albums.Apart from modern acts older groups chart with Greatest hits collections ,Abba,Queen ,Fleetwood mac. etc Box sets like Revolver come and go out of the charts in a couple of weeks whereas Collections stay arround and appeal to younger fans
I'm intrigued about this Magical Mystery Tour discussion. I'd love to hear it - which episode # was it?
(EDIT - Never mind- scratch the question - found it - can't wait to hear it)
Also, I've enjoyed your show overall, but one highlight I'll always love is playing a cover of "Love Comes to Everyone" by "Trio Alvarado" from Brazil, I think they were. It was a stunning version.
o glad the old episodes were listed. I used to listen on I tunes and dreaded having to search that platform. This is much better.
Watching 11/29/2023 - I still love the song and though I haven't watched the video in some time, I bet I fall apart again when I switch it back on. It's music's "Saving Private Ryan".
IS IT JUST ME...or does the guitar solo/tribute to George's slide style remind you of the solo in Pink Floyd's "Young Lust"? I ran the Now and then solo through my head and it segued right over to Young Lust.
Everybody was expecting Rubber Soul remix this year, but I was thinking remixes of the 1963 albums and singles. I thought they might do both albums, but instead we got Red and Blue albums. I already pre-ordered both, because those early songs are the ones I've been waiting for to get remixes. They needed new stereo mixes most. I still hope they do the first 6 albums?
18:10 - If Disney were to receive a petition to extend Get Back, they'd change the Beatles into the Supremes for inclusivity's sake. I'm surprised Disney didn't spoil anything about Get Back
In the 1960's The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were good friends and they mutually arranged to not release a single or album at the same time.
Wow, what a lukewarm reaction to Now and Then after having had the privilege of hearing it twice already. Well, at least Darren showed a bit more enthusiasm... I've wanted that song in a finished form by Paul and the gang for a decade now so will definitely be much more emotional for me to finally hear it tomorrow! I've known to cry many times while listening to the demo, can't imagine not tearing up with the MAL magic added into the mix.
Oh, and very happy to have Red and Blue reissued this year, on their 50th anniversary, which nobody talks about either...
The song is shit
I certainly wouldn't consider my reaction to NOw and Then to be lukewarm. I did say I love the melody, and the production, and that John's voice is right there in the clear. But it's not easy to judge a song after just a few listens. I tend to wait until I know a song (or album) really well before I give any kind of full review.
You will cry when you hear how bad it is!
Congratulations on your 400th episode.
I agree with Alan Kozinn that Now and Then would have made more sense on expanded Anthology sets. Failing that, remix Free as a Bird and Real Love using Jackson's technology to remove Jeff Lynne's production excesses and put the three songs out as an EP. The cover of the Now and Then single is awful. Completely unimaginative and boring. Why isn't the band's name on the cover? Why are the Giles Martin remixes being used on the Blue album. None of the original mixes were problematic and needed remixing. And why did they screw up with the vinyl version by including the expanded tracks on the third LPs rather than putting them in chronological order. I am curious to hear the remixed early tracks that are only available in mono.
1:11:34 ....2 disc anthology highlights (inc. the three Lennon remakes). I'd buy it.
There is a podcast Screw It We're Just Gonna Talk About The Beatles with comedy actor and writer Will Hines and his comedy writing friends and Will was born in 1970 and his friends on the show were born in 1977,1980 and 1987.
Looking forvvard to your video PlayLists... Thanks to 'recordrabbit' for commenting...
in my late 60 s beatles changed my life if you didnt seethem on sullivan you aint a boomer!!
I hate that they cut out part of the song.that part was my favorite part.I love and prefer johns demo by leaps and bounds
John's Demo is still there.
Music is business, just enjoy the music and not analazying 😅
I think we have come along way from 1960's values re:love, marriage & sex. A "home wrecker" OMG. It's the 21st century!
Are you a yank?
we're not called yanks anymore--speaking of coming a long way
They CAN work on a George Harrison Beatles recording!! ""You Know What To Do" from 1964. It already has George, John & Paul on it. It just needs Ringo to play drums & Paul to add extra guitar/keyboards. I'd REALLY love to see this happen!!
Not going to happen since Now and Then is now officially The Final Beatles Song, sorry.
It isn't the final one.....they will keep doing this scam for years....."Oops...we found another one!...honest folks....this is really the last one!"@@Fritha71
Please no more. They have the greatest pop catalogue of all time. This is absolute fucking garbage
@@richbailey8174exactly. This is a pure money grab.
Despite being a great song with beautiful production, Now and Then doesn't sit well with me as a Beatles song. George didn't directly contribute and his presence can't be felt. The drumming doesn't sound like signature Ringo. Normally he's more subtle. Unlike the two 1995 songs, Now and Then sounds more like a band trying hard to sound like the Beatles, producing a fantastic product, but you know it's just not them. I would have supported this being on a 3-song EP with Free As A Bird and Real Love being remastered the same way to fix John's vocals. Admittedly, it is a nice send-off. But it should NOT be on the Blue album -- that's just a cash grab. And that awful cover! I was hoping the 10-minute Photoshop job was just a placeholder until the awesome sleeve was revealed on release day. What an atrocious end to the band's history as visual arts pioneers.
Regarding Now and Then the first thing that jumps out at you is the incredible clarity of Lennon's vocal, you can hear what attracted McCartney to the song... but what a mediocre song they've ended up creating. The intro of the drums is just jarring, was this Ringo's first attempt at playing thru? The entire arrangement of drums, bass, guitar, strings is cluttered and mushed together, the whole thing sounds very awkwardly constructed, especially the sudden appearance of old man McCartney vocals.
I think this track really reveals how poor a producer/mixer Giles is, there is no space in the track for any of the musical parts to breathe or be enjoyed... it all comes across as more of a novelty bonus track than Free as a Bird or Real Love... in fact the funny thing is it makes me regard those 90's reunion songs on a higher level...
I think they've really waited too long to do this as neither McCartney or Starr have the same creative instincts... to my ears since McCartney had his late career renaissance with Chaos, Memory and Electric Arguments his music has become embarrassingly unlistenable... so the 'final' Beatles song has ended up as a bit of an oddity helping to maximize those corporate profits and wring the last penny out of obsessive collectors and completists... I think the Beatles & Stones really need to be left in the 20th Century... all they represent now are brands more akin to Coca Cola and McDonalds... whatever is done with them in the future will have less and less to do with their original creative spark and the times in which it was made...
You leave this same comment about mccartney and his later work and the need for the beatles/stones to be consigned to the 20th century on other sites. Tedious and odd.
@@nl40601 it's called having a conversation, there's nothing in your comment about liking or disliking the track, seems tedious and odd
Would love to see you interview on the show, Jason Carty and Steven Cockcroft who do the fantastic podcast from Ireland called, "Nothing is Real." They just did an interview with Ken Womack which was outstanding. Love your show by the way,
Ken Womack is a hack historian. His George Martin biography was a rush job devoid of any true historical research. Deeply disappointing. Allie kozinn is a much better writer and historian
stravvberry fields forever
Just heard the new "Beatles" song...with all of the work that was done on it it sounds worse than I imagined it would be.....only John's vocal was good.....the song itself is a nothing burger...avoid at all costs....remember the original Beatles releases and stick with them! And I don't think we need "more" Beatles stuff every year. We have all heard what already is.
These hacks need new Beatles stuff to give them something to do in life, they've all made a living leeching off the Beatles for decades, and yes George was right this song was rubbish and thanks to Paul it's been made even worse
@5:47. You mention "GoodDaySunshine". My Dad vvas a 'barber-shopper' [Go ! Salem Senataires +] and vvhen my friends parent's vvere poo-poo-ing THU Beatles (those haircuts- !), Dad vvas busy studying the harmonies to this song.
Judy Martin died sadly. She was the adulteress who broke out George martins first marriage and separated George from his two children. She was a homewrecker according to George martins biography. George Martin was nearly fired when word leaked out. She never apologized for breaking up that marriage
George Harrison is on record saying it should never be released this is a horrid track. Awful lyrics. Weak melody. Very disappointing.
George, great as he was doesn't get my vote as a perceptive judge of music. He only liked two songs on the McCartney album, Maybe I'm Amazed and the throwaway That Would be Something. Totally dismissing Everynight, Junk, Lovely Linda, Hot as Sun, Oo You, Momma Miss America, Teddy Boy and Man We Was Lonely. Lennon was an even worse judge of music.
You are free not to listen to it. I think it is great.
