"With the Beatles" by the Beatles

"Long Tall Sally" by the Beatles

"Long Tall Sally" is possibly the least-well known of the Beatles catalog that we will cover. An EP released just prior to "A Hard Day's Night", "Long Tall Sally" contained all new recordings that had not been on previous UK albums or singles. It is an important-- but short and easy to overlook-- member of the Beatles discography. We look at its four songs.  Released in honor of Paul McCartney's 84th birthday. Happy birthday!

"A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles

Abram and Joe discuss the Beatles's third album (and first film!), "A Hard Day's Night". Beatlemania is in full swing and we'll see how the band adjusts to their new found multi-media fame.

"With the Beatles" by the Beatles

Abram and Joe discuss The Beatles's second album, "With the Beatles", the most difficult one to search for. You can't even call it "The Second Album" because that refers to a different US-only release. We have fun reviewing the tracks and not talking about Motown, despite Joe's repeated attempts.

"Please Please Me" by The Beatles

Our first real episode! Abram and Joe discuss The Beatles's very first album, "Please Please Me" and rate its tracks.

Pilot Episode - A Short History of the Beatles (from Prime Factors)

They might not have been bigger than Jesus, but they certainly were bigger than Robert Walpole, William Pitt, or Harold Wilson: they were "The Beatles". In this very special episode, Abram takes the microphone and whisks us into a magical mystery tour of Beatles history from their start as the Quarrymen to a very special rooftop concert, and all of the multi-colored aquatic conveyances in between. This is the original pilot for Prime Factors: Music, as published on our Prime Factors: Ranking UK Prime Ministers feed.
