Daniel Rachel hears 100 hours of Beatles audio – “it’s like the DNA in a crime scene”.

Daniel Rachel, old pal of the pod, has just published ‘Like Some Forgotten Dream: What If The Beatles Hadn’t Split Up?’, much of it drawn from his access to the Let It Be tapes and full of enthralling details about the highs and lows of the band’s last year. This includes precisely what happened after George stormed out in Jan ’69, the stories of Gimme Some Truth, Cold Turkey and All Things Must Pass, missed press news opportunities, the Scottish car crash, the Toronto Peace Concert and a fantasy tracklist for the double album they could have made in 1970. And much fond talk of their personal chemistry. “There was no showboating, everybody served the song and the idea of making music surpassed everything.” @DanielRachel69 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Like-Some-Forgotten-Dream-Beatles/dp/1788403207 Subscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon and receive every Word Podcast before the rest of the world... alongside a whole load more!: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
