Back in the wilderness years , (before i re-trained for 6 years to become a probation officer), as a non marine reinsurance broker/alcoholic/coke addict , i was at my 48th consecutive day of NA meetings ..
so there i was in the bermuda triangle of booze, gear, and bullshit city 1989--2008 sitting there mute. in a crumbling church at a na meeting..stupefied into silence by the demonic delusions of grandeur and ego of those in the semi circle with me earning £250,000+ in chalk stripe and gold card lunch expenses in leadenhall market.
at the end of the meeting feeling lower than Karen carpenter doing the limbo, the sponser pulled me aside and told me the story of' Dear prudence' by the beatles.
Humans are capable of great things. it changed my life. It will be played at my wedding. And i will remember where i was in 2008. people change, give them a second chance to prove it.
the Beatles cross the great divide of every generation.

I recently heard this newly ‘discovered’ demo of Step Inside love and I’ve struggled to get it out of my head. A song and arrangement so beautiful it’s a wonder a) He gave it away b) He gave it away to Cilla Black.

Thanks for this, I was not aware of it. To me it sounds more early Wings than Beatles!
As for a favourite Beatles track, well i have at least eight tracks a week. However I will offer up some early George

Best song by far is Tomorrow Never Knows and best album is Revolver, just inching out Abbey Road. Worst song either Savoy Truffle or that god awful Obla Dee Obla daa Best solo Beatles is Let it Down (acoustic version) by George.

I bet that was ace, and can imagine it fitting their set perfectly, I've always said TNK sounds like a chemical brothers track. Far and away my favourite Beatles tune, although I think of it more as a George Martin tune tbf
