| 8/26/26 | A Deep Dive into The Beatles 5th Album NUJV. Pronounced Help! | Is it NUJV or NVUJ?Well it depends what side of the Atlantic you live on and if you own a Parlophone or Capitol records edition of Help! The Beatles 5th album released in the summer of 1965.As with A Hard Day's Night 12 month before. This album was part film soundtrack album, part? Well, new material. It's easy to dismiss this album for that very reason. But it clearly is a stepping stone between the early 60's mop tops and the mid 60's serious, highly creative Beatles.Now under the influence of Bob Dylan and the early West Coast scene, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, Ticket To Ride, the title track and Paul's solo recording Yesterday, demonstrate that John, Paul, George and Ringo were clearly on an upward trajectory.Welcome to episode 66 of Fixing A Hole.

| 8/16/26 | Beatles For Sale - Special offer, 40% Off! | In the summer of 1964 The Beatles released A Hard Day's Night in the UK. Their first album to contain purely Lennon and McCartney compositions. But by the Autumn of that year John, Paul, George and Ringo had now achieved global fame. Tours of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, resulted in them having less and less time for song writing. Creativity and time in the studio was severally restricted, due to other commitments.In this episode we take a deep dive into their fourth album, Beatles For Sale. And uncover why it is tale of two halves (or should that be two sides). The album includes some of their best song writing from the pre-Rubber Soul era. But it also includes too much filler. Plus as was now the norm, Capitol in America never released the album for another 23 years!Welcome to episode 65 of Fixing A Hole.

| 8/10/26 | A Hard Days Night, All Their Own Work | There were 8 months between The Beatles debut album, Please Please Me and it's follow up With The Beatles. A further 8 months and A Hard Day's Night arrived in stores.By the summer of 1964 John, Paul, George and Ringo were household names, not only in the UK, but globally! This third UK album was a first. Not only a film soundtrack, but also their first album to contain purely Lennon & McCartney compositions.Until now there had been no corresponding album releases between Parlophone records in the UK and Capitol in America. Finally in the states there is a soundtrack album sharing the same title, but that's where the similarity ends. It was not even released by Capitol.To discover the full story of this ground breaking album listen to episode 64 of Fixing A Hole.
