It's the season 4 finale!

For this episode, I am joined by researcher and travel writer Jonathan Knott to present The Beatles' 1967 plans to buy a Greek island. This chapter in the history and one of its key players, Alexis 'Magic Alex' Mardas, have long been shrouded in mystery. With this episode and Jonathan's continued efforts, we get closer to the truth.

This week and next we re-examine The Beatles' infamous 1966 visit to Manila. Much has been said about this event but the details are often confused. Part one explores the reasons for visiting The Philippines, the group's arrival, mix-up with the Presidential family and concerts.

Does Brian Epstein deserve the criticism that has been charged against him for his handling of The Beatles' merchandising rights? This week I am joined by journalist, entertainment lawyer and professor Stan Soocher to answer this question through the history of several lawsuits between NEMS Enterprises and the companies set up to handle The Beatles' merchandise.

This episode is inspired by one of the many fascinating chapters from Stan's book Baby You're A Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit: https://www.stansoocher.com/babyyourearichman.html

New episode! 🚨
This week I am joined by another new guest - Eric Krasker - to detail the unique story of the only Beatles' recording session in Paris.

https://gimmesometruth.podbean.com

Eric's fantastic new book Les Beatles à l'Olympia tells this and much more history from the group's January 1964 visit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatles-lOlympia-semaines-changé-culture/dp/2749178703?ref_=ast_author_mpb

An amendment to last week's episode with thanks to Guido Almstedt for pointing out my mistake. I originally stated that The Beatles' flight from Manila to Delhi arrived at 9:30AM on 6 July 1966, but as we can clearly see from this KLM flight schedule, Indian Express article and nighttime photograph of their arrival in Delhi, it was 9:30PM on 5 July!

(This has now been corrected in the episode audio as well.)

My first guest of Season 4 this week is author/editor Oliver Craske who joins me to present the research behind the date that George Harrison and Ravi Shankar met in July 1966! Oliver's brilliant book Indian Sun: The Life and Music of Ravi Shankar is essential reading.
