In this episode, we trace Ken's fandom with Paul/Wings and also simultaneously learning The Beatles catalog at the same time in the late 1970s which sounds pretty Fab!

2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 264: Divided Album Series | "Speed Of Sound"Welcome To November 2Legs Listeners!
For our first new show of the month we revisit a series we did a few weeks back called "Divided Albums." This time we chose that oft-neglected and overlooked Spring 1976 LP Wings at The Speed of Sound. This album routinely ranks pretty low in the Macca/Wings canon by most fans/critics because of its paint by numbers democratic approach. Despite having two huge hit singles in 'Silly Love Songs' (US #1) and 'Let 'Em In' (US #3). Which makes the album kind of an anomaly in his career. We both think it's a...2024-11-0954 min2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 263: "Give My Regards To Broad Street" (40th Anniversary Re-Watch)40 Years Ago - This film premiered.

It's an album that gets a lot of chat on McCartney fan pages/sites - mostly negative.
We contextualise the time period from whence it came. Discuss reasons why it gets the bad rap it has received 23 years on since it's release. 'Freedom', 9/11, The Heather factor. Too long of a record.

Partly in reply to our wonderful friend Beatley Tone who did a fabulous ranking of his own. Tom and David did one back in the pre-Andy era but for E258 Andy and Tom revisit our favourite 20 Macca B-Sides.
Some of them are so damn good they should be A Sides! We obviously agree on a good chunk but differ on a few too! All Paul. All The Time.

Yes, we've done this occasionally but fear not Paul is mentioned a few times in this episode. Andy and Tom recorded this shortly after the Chicago Fest. We are a bit late to the "Mind Games" hype reviews but we hope you enjoy our take. Andy discusses the Cube, Tom discusses aspects of the Blu-Ray discs and the "Mind Games" associated with the entire set. Now that the dust is settling on this release - how do you feel it stacks up among the previous Lennon releases?

A topic tackled 'Once Upon A Long Ago' in the pre-Andy era but this week we revisit the topic of songs Macca composed specifically for Films throughout his career.
Beginning in 1967 with The Family Way, we examine the songs written, the films for them, and in some cases why the Director scrapped them. (Tsk Tsk!) Some work well; some not as much is our overall take.

Ranking The Beatles#86 - Baby's In Black with Andy Nicholes (co-host 2Legs Podcast)Though the Lennon & McCartney songwriting team found it harder and harder to truly write songs together from scratch as they got busier and busier, with "Baby's In Black," they were able to get "nose-to-nose" and write something truly different from what was expected at the time. A 3/4 time waltz with a melancholy lyric (possibly inspired by Astrid Kirchherr's mourning for Stu Sutcliffe), the first song they recorded for the Beatles For Sale album was a far cry from the uptempo Beatlemania rave ups of A Hard Day's Night or the Cavern-era screamers on their first two LPs.

We've re-edited in the performances of 'Jet', 'Once Upon A Long Ago' and 'Listen To What The Man Said' as the interview on YouTube had these cut.
