Episode 02 – Beatles ’65 pt2

Take a ticket to ride with the Yesterday and Today podcast as we roll up into the spring of 1965! The Beatles' feverish pace that started the year somehow ramped up even higher, as each of the four Beatles found new breakthroughs in sound, song craft and experimentation. The group was finishing the filming of their sophomore film release, recently changed from "Eight Arms to Hold you" to the pithier "HELP!", recording an LP to accompany the film AND beginning the first leg of a European tour. And somehow, during all this madness, a little song about scrambled eggs was being refined into one of the greatest pieces of pop music in modern history: Paul McCartney's Yesterday. George Harrison was introduced to a little instrument called a Sitar, Ringo acted naturally and John Lennon took to the streets of London having just passed his driving test. The summer is almost here, and 1965 is only just heating up - join us for all the madness!
