Beatles News Briefs

• 95 - Songs, Pictures, Stories and Secrets Of The Fabulous Beatles on Vee-Jay Records With Bruce Spizer and Michele Wood Marotta

  On this episode, we feature a very (very!) entertaining and lively discussion about the history of The Beatles on Vee-Jay Records with Beatles historian and author Bruce Spizer ("The Beatles On Vee-Jay Records") and Michele Marotta, daughter of Randy Wood, who was head of Vee-Jay Records at the time The Beatles were on the label. In the main part of the discussion, we'll talk about the unique albums released by Vee-Jay, which was pretty much an all-in-the-family operation when The Beatles were on it. But we'll also cover some other things as well that you'll want to hear.  We'll also review the film "Daytime Revolution" and compare it to "One To One: John and Yoko," give you two more responses to the questions surrounding the Canadian Decca tapes mystery and we'll finish with some Beatles News Briefs to close out the program. Thanks very much for tuning in and we hope (we know) you'll enjoy the show.    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at https://marinucci.podbean.com, on YouTube or on our blogspot page.

• #93 - Jude Southerland Kessler on her new John Lennon book and more on the Canada Decca tapes discovery

  We have two great guests for you in our latest Beatles News Briefs podcast. First is a talk with distinguished author Jude Southerland Kessler on her new John Lennon Series book, "Some Forever: Shades Of Life, Volume 2," about the momentous year of 1965 for Lennon and the Beatles, including the great concert at Shea Stadium and how Lennon's personal life was beginning to fray. Next, following up on our show #91 about the recently surfaced Canadian Decca tapes, we go a little deeper into it and talk with Jack Herschorn, the man who actually first had the tape for many years. He tells how he came into possession of it and what he thought about it. We also include some news, including one late headline that broke while we were doing final editing of the show.

• #91 - The Beatles In Canada II - The Decca Tapes Mystery Examined

  The news that a high quality copy of the Beatles 1/1/62 Decca Tapes Audition had surfaced in Canada started a lot of commentary and speculation among fans, social media and radio DJs on just what had been discovered. This episode of Beatles News Briefs does a deep dive and investigates this story by going to the source with interviews of the three men who found and have listened to the tape - Rob Frith of Neptoon Records, Larry Hennessey of Reel To Reel To Digital.com and Doug Shober, host of the music blog Noise From the Cranium -- who describe the tape and tells what they have. We also have statements from three renowned Beatles experts - Bruce Spizer, Piers Hemmingsen and Mark Lewisohn - on what the Canadian tape might be. And yours truly gives his comments to one of the songs on the tape which we heard in its entirety. It's the first real answers to the question of what this tape is and what this all means. And we would love to hear your comments. Send them to [email protected]. And please subscribe and review our show. You can contact Steve at that email address or join him on Facebook on his Beatles News and Information page, with all the latest Beatles News and information, as the title says. Be seeing you.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at https://marinucci.podbean.com, on YouTube or on our blogspot page.
