Beatles Rewind PodcastThe Priceless Portrait John Lennon Tried to DestroyPicture this. It’s 1968. John Lennon is at Kenwood, his sprawling home on the St. George’s Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey. He’s in the middle of one of the most turbulent periods of his life—his marriage to Cynthia is falling apart, Yoko has arrived, and the world he’d carefully built is coming undone around him. He’s burning it all down—the house, the marriage, the version of himself that had lived here—and anything connected to that old life has become impossible to look at.Including, apparently, a painting on the wall.That painti...

Beatles Rewind Podcast🤯 The Fifth Beatle George Martin and Paul ERASED from HistoryGeorge Martin spent eight years crafting the Beatles’ sound with meticulous care—elegant, innovative, perfectly balanced production where every instrument could be heard and the Beatles’ voices remained front and center.

The Beatles never reunited. And Paul McCartney spent decades trying to undo what Spector did to “The Long and Winding Road,” finally releasing “Let It Be... Naked” in 2003 to strip away Spector’s additions and restore something closer to the band’s original vision. T...

Beatles Rewind PodcastThe Beatles and Rush: An Unlikely Musical Kinship 🎸🎵The Beatles and Rush: An Unlikely Musical Kinship 🎸🎵At first glance, The Beatles and Rush seem to inhabit entirely different musical universes. One was a quartet of working-class Liverpudlians who conquered the world with three-minute pop songs and matching suits. The other was a Canadian power trio known for twenty-minute prog-rock epics about dystopian futures and Ayn Rand novels. Yet beneath these surface differences lies a fascinating web of connections, influences, and mutual respect that reveals how deeply The Beatles’ revolutionary approach to music-making shaped even the most seemingly dissimilar artists who followed.The Technical Connecti...
