Untitled Beatles Podcast

Look. George Harrison took five years after "Gone Troppo" to complete his 1987 masterpiece "Cloud Nine", so excuse us if we take a couple weeks to wrap up our long awaited deep dish.

This week, the Untitled Twotles finally get around to talking about side one, and promise not to wreck the episode with tacky gated reverb like some sorry Fine Young Cannibals knockoff.

After spending the past three weeks in 1995’s Anthology universe, the Untitled Beatles Podcast needs a break. So this week… we head WAY BACK… to 1987.

That’s right. At long last, by popular demand—LLGH! Cheers, big ears!—Tony and T.J. delve into George Harrison’s smash-hit solo record, “Cloud Nine”, which T.J. SHANOFF LOVED LONG BEFORE ALL YOU BANDWAGON B*S.

Along the way, they find time to foray into Format Foyer, and answer the pressing questions like:

📼🌴 OK, but does T.J. own the 1987 cassette released on Contessa records in Indonesia?

💿💦 Was Tony’s copy of Cheap Trick’s “Lap of Luxury” CD damaged in a flood, or by teenage Tony’s tears?

💗📻[Angry Drunk Chicago Guy] HOW COME THEY STILL AIN’T PLAYIN’ THESE BEATLE BLOWHARDS ON CHICAGO’S OWN ROCK 95.5 (AN IHEART RADIO STATION)?

Some say the “Sgt. Pepper”, post-touring era is the peak of The Beatles recorded music. Others prefer Korn.

For those who are slightly more into The Beatles, Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey deep dish Episode 6 of “The Beatles Anthology”. This has always been one of the most fertile and astonishing chapters in Beatles history, but we can all be thankful that Disney truncated it by 15 minutes for those of us in a rush. Beep beep, toot toot, no time for the “For No One” bridge, damn it!

And, sure! The UBP3zteetles (you try it, tough guy) talk “Anthology” 6 in great detail, but still find time to probe the throbbing questions, like:

🏛️ Why exactly is Dhani keeping George Harrison & Yanni’s legendary collab at the Acropolis unreleased?

🍇 Ray Charles is a true all-time legend. Is his singin’ raisin doppelgänger even better?

♟️ Do most non-poseur Beatles fans think “One Night In Bangkok” belongs on “Sgt. Pepper” instead of “She’s Leaving Home”?

Real Beatlefans have been saying it on the DL (#JimmyButler) for years: "Who the hell needs Rubber Soul?"

Certainly not “The Beatles Anthology”, which puts nearly as much emphasis on the 1965 classic as they do “The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl” (Pre-Ron Howard Edition). OK so maybe it’s not that bad, but c’mon Apple, it’s RUBBER SOUL! (#HeyHey #Rip)

For better AND worse, Beatles Anthology 5 is much like its predecessors; chock full of incredibly remastered footage and audio; while missing certain key elements for time or perhaps simply to please a mouse. (SFX: Buzzer) Sorry! “The Mouse”!

Come join Tony, T.J., and Casey as we mansplain how men mansplain Beatles stuff, and since the rule of two mansplainings cancels things out, we’ll ponder other life quandaries, like:

🏀 Do The Warriors come out to play to “Dear Prudence”, or is Steph Curry more of a “Wild Honey Pie” guy?

🏍️ Should a cover band who only does 90’s McCartney call themselves Mullet Kintyre?

🏝️ (Angry Chicago Guy: he just did a shot of Malort with an Ajax chaser): HOW COME YOKO AIN’T ON MY COPY OF “B-SIDE TO SEASIDE”? AND HOW COME SUSIE AIN’T WEARIN’ NO RED STRIPES IN MY DAMP DREAMS?

Wait no more, it’s Anthology 4! It’s better streaming, and also way worse! It’s shorter, which is nice, and also truly stupid. Official Beatles history is being re-written forever, a travesty that's never sounded or looked so good. Yes, if you’ve also found yourself stroking out at the tightening and edits of “Beatles Anthology - 2025”, you’ve got some pals at the Untitled Beatles Podcast. We’ve never been more grateful for such glorious Beatles product, and also, hey Calderstone, WTF MY DUDES???

It’s quite the conundrum as the fellas deep dish the 4th installment of this generation’s “Frozen 2”, now with Bernard Purdie as Josh Gad. They also ask the tough questions that CBS won’t allow their remaining journalists to even consider, like:

🎟🎡 Should The Beatles have re-recorded “Ticket To Ride” with lower production value for use in The Charlie Rich Anthology?

🏈🐴 Does Ringo prefer his beloved Raiders in L.A., Oakland, or Las Vegas; or merely singing “Kicks” with Paul Revere?

🍆📦 Since Sir Paul clearly created the original “I’m On A Boat” viral smash, can we finally credit John for the original “Dick In A Box” on the Two Virgins album cover?
