The Traveling Wilburys were all right, even if they say you're wrong (#JulianLennon). But sometimes you gotta be strong and make the claim that they were only the 2nd best solo Beatle supergroup of the 80's.



#1? Obviously, it's Paul, Linda, and Eric Stewart! Ringo and his first All Starr Band!



Ok maybe that's a stretch. But as the 1990 tour LP & video show, they were a damn fine band, with a strangely cohesive line up of rock legends that Ringo would never again replicate.



This week, the UBP gets really serious (angry  fan: "DAT'S VOLUME TOO!") about this great record and also ask:



 Did Keef get beef in his teef doing Improv Warmup Wednesdays at Kenny Rogers Roasters?



 Is Tony the UBP's Joel Whitburn, which is a sick reference for those of you who are familiar with longtime Billboard chart historian Joel Whitburn?



 Was the All Starr Band promoter experienced at novelty concerts, or more of a Fishof out of water?

Music Commentary

For us UBPeedles who also dig old school rap, it's clear that the Fat Boys cover of "Baby, You're A Rich Man" absolutely betters the Beatles' far less trilly/rappy original.
And some four decades since the Disorderlies soundtrack shocked the world, the Fat Boys have never been more relevant, en vogue, or even En Vogue.
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it (this reference)? Here goes: baby, you'd better be a rich them to afford Beatles-related reissues these days! A "Mind Games" cube for $1,700? WTF?!?! Only (rich) people, indeed...
Tony and T.J. delve into the shamefully burgeoning world of Fab Greed, the debut of Lennon/McCartney 2.0, and also:


(Not So) Fab Greed

If it’s Saturday, it means one thing: Ringo has another new EP! Nobody other than Ringo has released more music in such a short amount of time - LOOKING AT YOU, TAYLOR* (*Fred Taylor, longtime Jaguars running back.)
The masses want to know: is Ringo’s “Crooked Boy” the biggest musical release of 2024? As Macca might opine, Who Cares what the idiots say! Any Ringo album is a gift to us all, right? RIGHT? In this episodic journey - which also begins to touch on the recent, disturbing silver streak of greed in Beatles reissues - we discuss the newest Ringo record, arguably his finest EP since whatever the hell the last one was called, and also get into these hot button hot topics:


Ringo Starr, "Crooked Boy" EP (2024)

[Originally released July 22, 2023]
Rumour has it, if you mash up The Beach Boys' "Endless Summer" compilation with the Grease showstopper "Summer Nights", you get 137th Beatle Richard Marx's classic cassingle, "Endless Summer Nights" (

The Beatles' (Fantasy) Summer LP

As Apple (and Etta James) promised, "At Last"; the original cut of "Let It Be" is available! Only streaming, no LaserDisc, you wackers Radio Shackers.
Speaking of LASIK, Apple's marketing team would have you believe the last time this film was seen was "54 years ago today". #WhenIm64Minus12Plus2
In reality, the last time this core, historically vital film was available was in 1981, but it struggled to compete with season 2 of "Bosom Buddies" and quickly fell out of print.
Tony and T.J., who played John and Paul in VH1's "Two Of Us", instantly react to the greatest this film has ever looked or sounded, and also, dig these ponies:


INSTANT REACTIONS: "Let It Be" Restored and Re-Released (1970 / 2024)

Having a Macca Snack Attack (TM, pending)? We are too! Or, at least we did in late-2022, when Tony & T.J. rocked out to then-recently reissued and remastered Macca 45's.
Come join for part two of this long-running, daytime/nighttime Macca singles (only!) party, and stay for the painstaking play-by-play of the unique, heretofore unexplained, debut-and/or-mistake mistake mix of the “Only Love Remains” 7” single remaster. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS? ARE YOU LISTENING, M.P.L.?? ALL FREAKING CAPS!!
