He thinks it’s time we re-evaluated this much-maligned record and remove what he calls “The Curse of the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack”. And he makes a pretty darn convincing argument too. Perhaps you’ll agree with him; perhaps not – but join Ian and Dave as they take another look at some of the most overlooked and underrated songs in the Beatles catalogue.

After the little masterpiece that is A Hard Day’s Night, The Beatles came back down to earth for Beatles for Sale, a rushed recording schedule coupled with an insane amount of touring meant it was back to covers for a band that barely had time to play their own songs live. What do Ian and Dave make of all this?
