The Word
It's time for Andrew and JG to discuss The Word this episode, but what is The Word anyway? Does this song work as a precursor to All You Need Is Love? How convincing does the whole thing sound? As is this where the mythologisation of Lennon as "the love one" really begins? Plus there's a discussion around JG's overall rankings of literally every single Beatles song (with the relevant playlist now available on Spotify!)

I Need You
It's George's second go-around on the songwriting carousel this week as - still live and in the same room! - JG and Andrew tackle I Need You. Is the song a step up from Don't Bother Me? Does the volume pedal (or waaaa-waaa WWAAAA WAAAAA bit if you prefer) work? And how often can the same points be made in a desperate attempt to pad out the running time? (Also, apologies for JG sounding a bit distant on the audio mix - one of us was rather further away from the mic than the other).

It's another one of the classics this episode, as JG and Andrew tackle the might, era-defining Can't Buy Me Love. What's going on with iterative processes? How long does it take for Pink Floyd to take a kicking? And is it possible to make a Shea Stadium reference without immediately deferring to the Rutles?

I Want To Hold Your Hand
It's one of the biggest songs of all time on this week's episode as JG and Andrew get stuck into I Want To Hold Your Hand. Does the song deserve it's place as one of the most significant tracks in the Beatles' back catalogue? Is the whole more than the sum of its parts? And does it deserve to be the vanguard of the British Invasion in America? Plus there's more Doctor Who and Star Trek references than you're probably expecting, Portugese gets used as an unlikely comparison to something, and the Ed Sullivan show...
