Episode 161: ”Elton & The Beatles”

Chip Madinger and Mark Easter of Eight Arms To Hold You and Lennonology Tom & Andy this week for a special episode where we dive into the collaboration between Elton John and the 4 Solo Beatles.
Chip and Mark bring their vast and extensive knowledge to this very interesting topic.  We examine the first time Elton had his direct first experience with the Beatles (1963), and then finally how his career coincided along John, Paul, George and Ringo throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s by appearing in concert, on studio sessions and video appearances.
Chip and Mark also updated their epic work Eight Arms To Hold You in 2018 (not anything post-2000 just corrections and new info) and a PDF edition is available at their website Lennonology.

Episode 158: ’Live And Let Die’

"But in this ever changing world in which we live in.."
Yes, that is one of the many topics covered in this week's episode which we are really excited to share with you. Co-Author of the "McCartney Legacy" book, Adrian Sinclair and author/journalist Eoghan Lyng (Forthcoming Book: George Harrison in the 70s) join Tom and Andy for a discussion on 'Live and Let Die' (June 1973 release).
The quad also discuss the James Bond film of the same name, other films/themes in the Bond series. We dispel some myths, analyse the track, discuss our favourite bits, the timeframe in which it was recorded.
A fun fact - most people's first exposure to the song would be a full month before release when it was featured in the "James Paul McCartney" TV Special.
