The Beatles Stuffology Podcast

Songs don't come much bigger or more important than Strawberry Fields Forever so it's time to tackle one of the all-timers this episode.

Does the song really deserve its reputation as a psychedelic classic for the ages? Do the lyrics manage to convey what Lennon's actually aiming for? And do the rest of the band's contributions help or hinder the song's reputation? And perhaps most importantly of all, can Andrew sketch JG over the course of this episode?

It's time to sum up another album and take a look at Revolver as whole, rather than a series of parts.

Does the album deserve the oft-sited "best of all time" monicker? How does it compare to the likes of Pet Sounds? And is it even faintly representative of what was going on in the charts at the time?

(Apologies for the quality of Andrew's audio - thanks to technical issues, he's a lot less clear than usual - JG)

Time to round off Revolver with the mighty Tomorrow Never Knows, as JG and Andrew take a dive into psychedelia. Or do they?

Does the song deserve its towering reputation and Capital-I Importance? Do we think Lennon really understood what it was he was writing about? And just how critical is George Martin this time out?

Revolver is nearly done but before we get to the totemic final track, there's Got To Get You Into My Life to tackle.

Does the song work as a Motown/Stax homage? Does it matter that it's actually about drugs? And how are the guitars sounding at this point in the album?

It's time for George's third go-around on Revolver as I Want To Tell You takes its spot in the limelight. Can George justify an unprecedented three songs on an album? Does the song succeed in capturing the uncapturable flow of ideas he wanted to express? And just what could put Andrew off JG? (You know, apart from everything)
