A podcast in which two old friends sit about and talk BS - Beatles Stuff - on a track-by-track basis pretty much for the sake of it!

Songs don't come much bigger or more important than Strawberry Fields Forever so it's time to tackle one of the all-timers this episode.
Does the song really deserve its reputation as a psychedelic classic for the ages? Do the lyrics manage to convey what Lennon's actually aiming for? And do the rest of the band's contributions help or hinder the song's reputation? And perhaps most importantly of all, can Andrew sketch JG over the course of this episode?

It's time to sum up another album and take a look at Revolver as whole, rather than a series of parts.
Does the album deserve the oft-sited "best of all time" monicker? How does it compare to the likes of Pet Sounds? And is it even faintly representative of what was going on in the charts at the time?
(Apologies for the quality of Andrew's audio - thanks to technical issues, he's a lot less clear than usual - JG)

Time to round off Revolver with the mighty Tomorrow Never Knows, as JG and Andrew take a dive into psychedelia. Or do they?
Does the song deserve its towering reputation and Capital-I Importance? Do we think Lennon really understood what it was he was writing about? And just how critical is George Martin this time out?

Revolver is nearly done but before we get to the totemic final track, there's Got To Get You Into My Life to tackle.
Does the song work as a Motown/Stax homage? Does it matter that it's actually about drugs? And how are the guitars sounding at this point in the album?

It's time for George's third go-around on Revolver as I Want To Tell You takes its spot in the limelight. Can George justify an unprecedented three songs on an album? Does the song succeed in capturing the uncapturable flow of ideas he wanted to express? And just what could put Andrew off JG? (You know, apart from everything)

Time to visit a medical practitioner for this episode as JG and Andrew pay a visit to Doctor Robert.
Is it really about some alleged New York doctor? Is the NHS a worthy recipient of a Lennon lyric? And can the Beat Bugs really be the best cover version of this song?

This podcast is definitely for someone but also, in a very real sense, For No One.
Does the song's air of detached melancholy work? How good is that solo? And can any of the cover versions manage to capture the austere distance of the original?

Time for something tuneful this episode as JG and Andrew tackle And Your Bird Can Sing. Does the song maintain the quality of the album? How much fun can be contained in one song? And are there any interesting cover versions?

It's time to let a little light into our lives this time out as Good Day Sunshine emerges from behind the clouds to kick off Side 2.
How does the song work as an opener for the second side? Are there any outstanding moments? And why (oh why, oh why) does Robbie Williams's godawful "Angels" get a mention? Plus, "excitingly", how long can two old men ramble on for before getting to the sodding point already?

Surrealism, pretentious, or something else is the question posed as Revolver's first side bows out with She Said, She Said.
Does the song round the first side off in a satisfactory way? Does it suffer from (probably) not having McCartney on it? And what has Peggy Suicide got to do with any of this?
