    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. The Beatles Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed.

    With The Beatles. That Difficult Second Album?

    Exactly 8 months to the day after their debut album 'Please Please Me' was released in the UK. The Beatles second album 'With The Beatles' landed in record stores nationwide. Not only a significant day in the groups history, but an unforgettable day news wise. As it was 22 November 1963 that American president JFK was assimilated. An event which as we discuss in this weeks episode, could have been the reason why Capitol records finally took up distribution rights to the band. With its arty black and white cover image and a strong Motown influence. Does 'With The Beatles' suffer from 'Difficult Second Album' which most artists succumb to?

    I Feel Fine

    If you play all 22 original UK singles in chronological sequence, you witness first hand the creativity of John, Paul, George and Ringo. That  progress was not a smooth climb. There are some huge leaps which can be demonstrated by the singles Strawberry Fields Forever, Hey Jude and Let It Be. The groups 7th single, A Hard Days Night, indicated that they were starting to move away from there 'Beat Group' sound. With its strident guitar chord intro, it demonstrated a new level of creativity being explored within the walls of Abbey Road studios. In this episode we take a deep dive into the follow up to A Hard Days Night. With its feedback introduction, I Feel Fine announced that The Beatles never wanted to look back, when it came to new material. The single was also supported by a promotional film, which Brian Epstein financed to support the single. Again another first for the band. Welcome to episode 57 0f Fixing A Hole.
