[AUDIO] Beatles’ first LP fails brilliantly

You may be wondering what The Beatles' "failure" was on this LP. You have to listen to understand. (It's definitely not a put-down of your beloved Fabs!)

Listen while driving. Listen while washing up. Listen while just kicking back. Headphones recommended.

There's an extended narrated bit covering the moment at EMI when the exhausted Beatles recorded 'Baby It's You.' Later in the show there's a never before heard version of that song with John's vocal's waaaay up in the foreground (separate from instruments, from the backing vocals, and from the reverb). Kinda stunning to hear.

The songs themselves are all here, all 14.

What else...? Lots of confident, researched musicology quoted from reliable authors.
