We're back with our first new episode for May! We're going a bit different for this one. Beatle focused. This week we welcome Journalist Al Sussman (Beatlefan Magazine, contributor to Bruce Spizer books and Things We Said Today original cohost), and Ethan Alexanian (Fans On The Run Podcast) to discuss the differences between the US and UK versions of Rubber Soul. Most boomers/first generation American fans remain loyal to the US. However depending on when you first introduced to it you may have a different take. Did you discover it during the CD era when all the markets was changed to reflect the UK release? Or were you a Baby Boomer who bought it in 1965?

Hello audio faithful. A bonus episode for y'all. Yesterday (30 April) we hosted another installment of the monthly series "Stuck Inside These 4 Walls" on our YouTube channel with fellow YouTubers Beatley Tone and Mean Mr. Mayo. This one was live so we fielded questions from the audience this time.

Luca Perasi joins us again to review and discuss his new book: Paul McCartney" Music Is Ideas The Stories Behind The Songs, 1970-1989. This is Luca's second book on Paul. He previously published the Paul McCartney Recording Sessions (1969-2013) book in 2014. This is a new approach and deeper dive into the actual songs and how they came about, when they were written, influences as well as incorporating a lot of research and information from Luca's first book.
These works will be the definitive word on all things Macca. And to think, at 600 some odd pages it only goes up until 1989! We ask Luca why a second book, how his approaches were different this time around. We discuss a few of our favorite tracks an entries in the book.
We thank Luca very much for some time spent with us and are really excited for him about his second book. It is a tremendous asset of info for all McCartney & Beatles fans and should be in every fan/collector's library!

Another Top 10 Show. We love these and hope you do too. This week on 2Legs Tom and Andy recap their recent musical excursions (Tom saw "Love" in Las Vegas and Andy saw Jon Anderson), and the duo pick their Top 10 album opening tracks from Paul's main canon. Some big favourites will be listed but also 1 or 2 might surprise you. What's your Top 10? Tell us in the comments. We'll be doing a Top 10 album closers as well as a sequel.

Hi Gang, We're back with our "Blue Album" version of our Top 10 Paul Beatle tracks between 1967-1970. We are (mostly) recovered from the Fest and have been busy but we figured we'd do a nice fun easy one to get back into the swing of shows. We have some obvious choices, and some not so obvious. What are some of yours? Hope you are all doing well and thank you very much for hanging with us on the audio platform!

Tom and Andy are back from the Fest and present another Interview Review episode. This time we take a look at an interview published in April of 1982 in the Canadian Magazine "Music Express" and it was conducted Ray Bonici. In the interview Paul speaks candidly about Denny Laine, John and Yoko and the Beatles. A rare thing these days.

Our first ever panel at the Fest coincided with the 50th Anniversary release of Red Rose Speedway. We didn't get a whole lot of time for this one but we enjoyed the live in person aspect, energy and fielded a few questions from the audience. We discussed a lot in 30 minutes. Our ratings on tracks, the proposed double LP, songs that could've gone on it etc. This was recorded on Sunday 2nd April at the NY/NJ Fest.
Thank you to ALL who came to our panel and to Susan Ryan for scheduling us this year!
Keep Getting On The Right Thing!

Our 200th Episode! We invited colleagues, friends, fans and listeners to join us for our 200th Episode. An idea by Tom started in 2016, joined by his cousin David Gargalino, the show was an audio only format where Tom and David produced 68 episodes. Kit O'Toole was the first guest on the show (she joins us for this 200th). After David needed a pause, Tom found Andy Nicholes via Facebook in 2019 after he did a one-off podcast of his own called "Backwards Traveller", and Andy thinking it's easier to do this with 2 people, than 1 happily accepted. And here we are. Thank you to all our listeners, family, friends and fans for following us and our show and we are happy that you share the same Macca passions we do! On to the next 200!
