Being that we were doing so well with the regular "Listen With Sam" side series, of course it is time for us to start a new sub-side series...

Once again I get to sit down and discuss a bloody good book that I have read. Today, that book is Love and Let Die: Beatles, Bond and the British Psyche, by John Higgs. Come join us as we discuss the book, Bond, The Beatles, and a bunch of digressional topics that I can't even remember...
This book is a perfect encapsulation of how British pop culture changed forever with the simultaneous release of "Love Me Do" and "Dr. No" on the same day in 1962. It covers both the wider social trends of the day like art, cultural identity, gender roles, sexuality and masculinity, whilst also telling the stories of the Beatles and Bond in their own right!
I wholeheartedly recommend Love and Let Die: Beatles, Bond and the British Psyche and you can find it in all good book shops, both online and on the high street.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

Yes folks, the "Clock on the Wall" is correct. It is time to "Go Now" and get your hankies ready, cus we are going to "Weep For Love" and many "Japanese Tears" will roll down our faces. If you don't know how to get to yours, I bet "Somebody Ought to Know the Way"...
My Gosh that is a lot harder to do than it looks!
Please enjoy. Peace and love,

Right, its a new year and what better way to start it than to discuss the biggest release from LAST YEAR.
Yes. This is an in-depth review of the 2022 Revolver box set. In this episode we go through every individual part of the box set, as well as rambling one man discussions on the nature of bonus material, mono vs stereo, and the future of Beatles anniversary rereleases.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

Wait part 4? Yes, that is right everyone, we aren't quite finished with this album yet, and to help me put it to bed once and for all, I am joined by the supremely entertaining T.J. Shanoff.
T.J. is a cohost of my favourite Beatles podcast, aka The Untitled Beatles Podcast, and I knew I had to have him on based on his VERY strong views on Driving Rain.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

Finally we are here folks. The Driving Rain analysis continues as we discuss everything musical McCartney was doing around this time, as well as the production and release of the final album.
In this episode we cover....
- Ecce Cor Meum, Wide Prairie, Rushes, Run Devil Run, Working Classical, the Yellow Submarine Songtrack, Beatles 1, the Liverpool Sound Collage, and Wingspan: Hits and History.
- The producer and musicians on Driving Rain.
- The recording sessions.
- The album cover.

I apologise for the delay, but I think there is more than enough content there for y'all to sink your teeth into.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,

Hey everyone, once again it is time for a proper album review episode with 2001's Driving Rain!
As per the usual, part 1/3 is setting the scene and context and so because of this we are gonna cover some pretty heavy topics. It'll pick up at the end up some talk of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the release of McCartney's book of paintings, but for the most part...we are covering...
- The Death of Linda McCartney
- Paul Meeting/Marrying Heather Mills
- McCartney & the September 11th Attacks on New York.
Definitely not your regular kind of episode!
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam
