Apple To The Core, By Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld, Part I All Together Now: A Beatle Podcast

    • Music History

Part I. One of the more influential but under-the-radar books in Beatles historiography, Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld's Apple to the Core is a book whose chronological context is key, as Karen and Erin discuss in this two-segment episode of "All Together Now." From the interviews given in the single most agenda-driven year in Beatles historiography, to omissions of contradictory evidence, to interpretations influenced by the era's establishment vs. countercultural split, this episode delves into the depiction of Allen Klein in the immediate aftermath of the Beatles' trial and how Apple to the Core contributed to the Lennon Remembers narrative.
