"Long Tall Sally" by the Beatles
1w ago00:07:39Tap to summarize"Long Tall Sally" is possibly the least-well known of the Beatles catalog that we will cover. An EP released just prior to "A Hard Day's Night", "Long Tall Sally" contained all new recordings that had not been on previous UK albums or singles. It is an important-- but short and easy to overlook-- member of the Beatles discography. We look at its four songs. Released in honor of Paul McCartney's 84th birthday. Happy birthday!

May 2600:24:05Tap to summarizeAbram and Joe discuss The Beatles's second album, "With the Beatles", the most difficult one to search for. You can't even call it "The Second Album" because that refers to a different US-only release. We have fun reviewing the tracks and not talking about Motown, despite Joe's repeated attempts.

Pilot Episode - A Short History of the Beatles (from Prime Factors)
Apr 2600:32:44Tap to summarizeThey might not have been bigger than Jesus, but they certainly were bigger than Robert Walpole, William Pitt, or Harold Wilson: they were "The Beatles". In this very special episode, Abram takes the microphone and whisks us into a magical mystery tour of Beatles history from their start as the Quarrymen to a very special rooftop concert, and all of the multi-colored aquatic conveyances in between. This is the original pilot for Prime Factors: Music, as published on our Prime Factors: Ranking UK Prime Ministers feed.
