About this episode
Hi! I'm Jonathan, and I'm a Beatles nut. I have been ever since I was a little kid. I've bought all the records (and cds and tapes and download), read all the books, poured over the boxsets, the hours and hours and hours of outtakes and isolated tracks and live tracks, made the pilgrimage to Abbey Road, The Cavern, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane. I've spent what my parents always called "an exorbitant amount of time" on this band. They've always been my musical companion, through good and bad. So with time on my hands during the Covid-19 lockdown, I figured why not add to that exorbitant amount, and rank the entire recorded output of the band? I began posting the rankings on my personal Facebook to start, and the conversations they sprung were fantastic. So fantastic, that it seemed a shame to not go further in-depth than a Facebook thread would allow. So here we are. This episode is just a little intro to me and my history...a "get-to-know-your-Captain" informative packet, but in audio form. If you feel the same way I do about The Beatles, or even about any band, let me know! I'd love to hear it. Drop me a line on Facebook or IG @rankingthebeatles, or email rankingthebeatles@gmail.com .
