Bonus blurb. 16 Songs of 1966: No.17: Pantomime Everywhere It’s Christmas In 1966 there was a 17th song - the only thing heard from the Beatles between Revolver and Strawberry Fields Forever.

Nothing Is Real - Episode 7 - Wings 1971-73 Part I
In 1971, Paul McCartney decided his third post-Beatles album would be as a band, and the band was called Wings. He was 29. Through Wings he would live the fantasy he had suggested to The Beatles when they started the Get Back project in January 1969: be a real band, start from scratch and hit the road. In December 2018 an 11-disc boxset came out celebrating Wings 1971-73 . In this two part episode, Steven and Jason start with the debut album, Wild Life, and guess which one is a fan?

Nothing Is Real - Episode 5 - Songs The Beatles Wrote About Each Other Part I
As the years went by, and there seemed like there were no worlds left to conquer, The Beatles started to create songs about the subject they knew best: Themselves. Over the years these songs were direct, opaque, angry, conciliatory, happy and sad. Nothing Is Real hosts Steven Cockcroft & Jason Carty trace the lineage of these songs from the Beatle days and into the solo years. Part one of two. Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.

Nothing Is Real - Episode 3 - 1970
On the first weekend of 1970, Paul, George and Ringo went to Abbey Road Studio Two and, with George Martin behind the production desk, cut a new Beatles song: I Me Mine. The last one. Then they finished off Let It Be. And then they were done. But this session was an outlier. It had been four months since all four had recorded together, finishing up the Abbey Road album in August 1969. In this episode Steven Cockcroft & Jason Carty look at the timeline of events and hypothesise about this session - were the Beatles really finished? Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.

Nothing Is Real - Episode 2 - Magical Mystery Tour
At the end of 1967, the Magical Mystery Tour came to town, presented by The Beatles as a TV special and novel double EP. In the USA, the six-song EP was turned into an 11-track album. Nowadays it’s become an official Beatles album in the canon. Does this non-Beatles-sanctioned compilation stand up as possibly their best? Was there another album that could have been released in December 1967? Hosts Jason Carty and Steven Cockcroft are coming to take you away. Get in touch.
