• #102 - Decca Tapes Part III - Rob Frith's true story of handing Paul McCartney a lost Decca Tapes reel

  When we interviewed record dealer Rob Frith in show #91 in March, he told us about the Beatles Decca tape he had found in a collection he bought. After there were indications this wasn't just an ordinary tape, he said that if Paul McCartney wanted the tape, Frith would give it to him for free if he could give it to him personally. It was an idea that seemed like wishful thinking at the time, but believe it or not, it happened. He tells us the full story in detail -- what led to the meeting and what happened next (like Paul's reaction to getting the tape, having lunch with Paul and watching the band rehearse). And there's an even more unlikely finish to the story at the end that we didn't expect. Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe if you aren't a subscriber already.

The cast includes Pete Best, The Quarrymen, Laurence Juber and Billy J. Kramer. Simon also talks about his other upcoming film projects with Mark Lewisohn, Beatles artist Shannon MacDonald and the Cavern Club/International Beatles Week celebration in Liverpool. Also, for those who didn't catch the video-only podcast of Ringo's September 9th press conference we posted on YouTube as show #100 we have portions of the audio here with Ringo, the All-Starrs and friends talking about the band and their tour and Ringo discussing his new book, art exhibit and next album. And we also have some late-breaking Beatles news. Thanks for listening. If you like the show, we'd encourage you to subscribe so you don't miss any of our future shows. And please pass the word to your friends. Thanks again for listening. We very much appreciate you. (Note: We've numbered this podcast as #100-#101 because of the Ringo audio of show #100 that we included only on YouTube. This renumbering fills the gap in the show numbers. Make sense? Probably not.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at https://marinucci.podbean.com, on YouTube or on our blogspot page.
