Hi 2Legs Faithful! A long one in the making! Joining us for E279 is Author/Researcher/Journalist/Musician Keith Badman. Keith penned a trio of 3 Beatles "Bibles" in the early 00s. The first being After The Breakup 1970-2000 which was one of the first texts to compile Solo Beatles activity in a Day By Day format (Like Lewisohn).
Andy quickly snapped up the book upon seeing on the shelves (RIP Borders!) circa 2001-02. His copy is well worn (as you'll see in the show). He brought it to Tom's attention shortly after joining the show. Keith did some work for The Beatles Anthology via a mutual friend Chips Chiperfield. He tells us about that and how he came to write the book.
He followed up "After The Breakup" with two subsequent volumes titled "Off The Record" which collected quotes from Beatles and Associates.

Episode 278: "Remixes!"
Hello 2Legs Faithful!
We finally were able to record a proper episode again after a few hectic weeks post-Fest and Venus and Mars 50th Anniversary. This week on 2Legs Andy and Tom talk Macca Remixes! There are plenty of Macca Remixes out there; most of them coming during the Maxi-Single era of the 1980s. Special Thanks to Susan Gagne for this topic! The most recent one would be the remixes of 'Hope For The Future' that came out on that EP. "Thrash", "Beatsession", "Jaded" and "Mirwais" (2014).
We give 5 selections (and play some samples of all the songs!) and list an honourable mention. It many cases sometimes the remix of a particular song worked out better than the official album version! What are some of your favourite Macca remixes he's released over the years?

Episode 277: "Venus And Mars At 50" | Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair (2025 NY Fest)
Hello 2Legs Family!
An episode recorded live at the 2025 Fest For Beatles Fans in Jersey City we are extremely proud to share this with you this week. Hot on the heels of the Venus and Mars 50th Anniversary half speed master release in March, Andy and Tom had the privilege to interview our friends Adrian Sinclair and Allan Kozinn, Co-Authors of The McCartney Legacy book series at the Fest to discuss this landmark Wings album, its context, some stories about the sessions, the artwork and we get Adrian and Allan's ranking on each track as well!
This was a lot of fun and our BEST Fest panel yet! We'd like to thank all the Fest attendees who elected to watch this live. Some people left because the room was full and we apologise for that but we hope you enjoy this video recording of the discussion! We'd also like to especially thank Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair for their time and their work on these books.
They have spent 10 years working on these two books and their work should be celebrated and recognised by Macca fans and scholars worldwide.
Peace Andy and Tom

Episode 276: Paul McCartney's "White Album"
A Fun and Quick one this Fest Week!
For E276, continuing on the theme that Andy, Kyle and Tony have been doing on their "Hands Across The Water" Live Shows, this week Andy and Tom compiled a 30 song Paul/Wings/Solo playlist based on the running order of The Beatles 1968 White Album.
Paul's career is so eclectic and varied it truly is like one big White Album! Many thanks to viewer Chris Hahn for this suggestion!
What does your Paul "White Album" look like? Tell us in the comments and we hope to see you this weekend at the NJ Fest!
Peace and Love to all!
