When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About The Beatles

Part two of our visit with friend of the show Darin Murphy covering the Demos and Evolution documentaries from the John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band Ultimate Collection.    More of the three of us wandering around Beatles topics, while managing to talk about the business of demoing new songs for friends and family, and then turning those demos into the finished recordings we are all familiar with?    How well is that process represented in this box?   

The second part of Darin Murphy's first visit with WTWF from 2018.       New episode coming on schedule!

Darin Murphy returns for this week and next.    This week we catch up, wander through the discs and start considering the set from the perspective of a singer, songwriter and performer.        What surprised us in the demos, and do we think the evolution documentaries are a true representation of John, Yoko and friends in the studio working toward the finished singles (and "Mother")

WTWF classic.     The first appearance of friend of the show Darin Murphy (2005's Lennon: The Musical, Cotton Mather, Trish and Darin).     Originally released 2018.

We move on to disk 7 - the Jams.     John, Klaus, Ringo and Yoko have fun in the studio during the recording of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.       John leads the band through his favorites - predominantly, but not entirely classic rock and roll.

Week 2 of the WTWF look at the Plastic Ono Band deluxe box set.      We pick up from "Mother" (last week being Mother's Day in the US), and carry through the rest of the record.    The cover is courtesy of Miles Zuniga, originally performed for KUTX radio in Austin, TX.

Happy (US) Mother's Day everybody.    We slide into our review of the JL/POB slowly, like easing into a warm bath.     Some chat about the events of 1969-1970 that resulted in the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band singles (as featured at the end of the discs), and the first song of the disc proper - dedicated to Mothers everywhere.

Everyone of us has all we need!     Please welcome Mr. Jon Stone to the pocast as the good ship WTWF relaunches for real this time!    

WTWF classic 01.     Danny Kristensen of Beatles (and 60's) tribute band "The Fab 5".      (https://thefab5.net/).     Originally released 2021.

Welcome to a (somewhat delayed) relaunch of "When They Was Fab".    We are back!    Anything happen in our absence?
