Well, we finally got our hands on it! Joining Andy and Tom this FEST weekend for our review of the "Underdubbed Mix" of Band On The Run is none other than Mr. David Gargalino, original co-host of 2Legs.
We go track by track on the new mix. Vinyl and CD for all 3 of us! Tom gives his opinion on the 1/2 Speed remaster as well (Andy & David had not listened as of recording date).
No OBI strip with the Deluxe Box, so what do we need? Another Copy! Let us know your thoughts and opinions on the Underdubbed Mix. Underwhelming? Thoroughly Enjoying It.
And we'll see you this weekend at the FEST!
All the best! Andy and Tom

Episode 236: "Paul & George Part II" (with Eoghan Lyng)
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
This week on 2Legs we were delighted to have back Mr. Eoghan Lyng (Author: George Harrison in the 1970s, U2onTrack) and contributor to publications Culture Sonar, Penny Black Music and Far Out Magazine for Part II of our "Deep Dive" on the Paul & George relationship. This installment centres on the years 1976 to 1981.
While not a prolific period of trading barbs between the two but there are some nice quotes from the pair during this interval. We discuss among other topics, the 1978 Rutles Film All You Need Is Cash and Paul's response to it, Ringo's wedding and working together in 1981 for 'All Those Years Ago'. Eoghan also recently interviewed Genesis Guitarist Steve Hackett. (Link Below)
We definitely have enough "legs" for a part 3 as we progress through the 1980s. Thanks Eoghan for coming on our show again!

Episode 235: "Top 10 Driving Songs"
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
Hi gang, As we prepare for the 2024 Fest in a few weeks we did a quick fun one for E235. What are some of your favourite Paul/Wings songs to just sing your heart out to while driving, (or other places?). This week Andy and Tom rolled off a bunch of our favs. Some you probably would guess, some others. Not very ballad heavy you would think! We also discuss some recent and upcoming appearances on other people's channel's/shows and sneak some NFL Playoff talk. Stay warm (those of you east of the Mississippi!)
And a big Thank You to Dylan Sevey for our new intro!

What do you think Paul has in store for 2024? or are you in the know?

Episode 232: McCartney III Madness
Saturday Dec 23, 2023
Saturday Dec 23, 2023
A Year Anniversary the marketing people felt necessitated yet again another vinyl configuration for McCartney III. First issued in December 2020, here we are again with another variant. 3 different "swirl" colours. Joining Tom and Andy for 232 is original 2Legs Co-Host David Gargalino and we discuss marketing strategies and why we would or would not decide to go for it. Did any of you go for it? Get burned by the policy in trying to get all 3? Or was it a hard pass?
Let us know!
Merry Christmas 2Legs Faithful!

Episode 231: Ken Dashow
Saturday Dec 16, 2023
Saturday Dec 16, 2023
We were honoured to have legendary DJ Ken Dashow (Q104.3 FM in New York) join us for Episode 231!
If you are in or from the NYC area and a Beatles fan you will know this voice by heart! Ken has been on the air in NYC since 1982. He began his career in earnest starting out at WNEW 102.7 (Where Rock "Lived") and has been at Q104.3 (iHeartMedia) since 1997.
He is the afternoon drive host during weekdays and on Sunday's hosts his own "Breakfast With The Beatles" programme. A Native New Yorker (like Andy), he has a career in radio that is second to none in terms of his staying power, his love for what he does and the message he continues to deliver every day to his listeners. He has interviewed Paul on two occasions and maintained a life long friendship with Denny Laine (which we cover in this episode) up until his passing last week.
Ken has relationships and friendships with colleagues across the rock world, (including members of Wings) and notably Little Steven Van Zandt (Come on Stevie, prog ain't that bad!) as well as Paul's current touring band.
Ken has also served as the MC at the Fest For Beatles Fans for a number of years now and can be found at the NY/NJ Fest every year on the Main Stage. We discuss the recent Beatles news, stories of meeting Paul and Denny and his career overall.
This will go down as one of our favourite episodes ever and we thank Ken for the time he gave us!

Episode 230: ”Magical Mystery Tour” (with Steve Matteo)
Saturday Dec 09, 2023
Saturday Dec 09, 2023
Roll Up, Roll Up For Episode 230! Steve Matteo, author of the new book Act Naturally: The Beatles On Film joins us this week for a dive into the Paul-centric and driven project and the Beatles 3rd film, Magical Mystery Tour. Steve has published other works on the Beatles and is a regular Fest attendee as well. He will be at the NYC Fest in February. Steve chronicles his methods on research and we contexualise the MMT period (post-Epstein death etc). While it may not be as revered as Help! and certainly not A Hard Day's Night, Magical Mystery Tour is worthy of a viewing if only for the performance of 'I Am The Walrus'.

Denny Laine (1944-2023)
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Andy went live on our channel (Tom was tied up) when we learned that founding Wings member Denny Laine succumbed to cancer this past week. Denny was a stronghold for Paul through the 1970s when Paul needed companionship the most. His contributions to Paul's music and his own will stand the test of time.
Andy paid his respects and took comments/questions from our YouTube audience on 5th December 2023. RIP Denny.
