Fixing A Hole - The Beatles podcast you didn't know you needed1 Maalis

Double A Side, Twice As Good?

Unthinkable as it might appear today, by January 1967 The Beatles had not released any new recordings for 5 months. Back then, rumours started to circulate that John, Paul, George and Ringo couldn't come up with any new material, and was this the end of the Fab Four?

In February, we got the answer. Yes, it was the end of the Fab Four, the mop top image of 63 and 64 was now a distant memory. With a new image, each Beatle having grown a moustache. There was also new music to support this new look. The first fruits of recording sessions which behan at Abbey Road in November 66, hit the streets. Strawberry Fields Forever b/w Penny Lane had arrived. Not only a masterpice on two sides of a 7" vinyl single, but also a taster of what would arrive in the summer of 67, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

In this weeks podcast we take a deep dive into the story behind these songs and uncover why the public were not ready to embrace the new Beatles.
