Macca Snacks #1 / Paul McCartney's The 7" Singles Box (2022)
In the fall of 2022, acclaimed (fictional) documentarian and (fictional) podcast factchequer P3Z-Nutz planted a microphone in a flower pot embedded in the Shanoff residence to surreptitiously record T.J. and Tony as they unboxed and auditioned select cuts from the...
03.09.2024
BONUS! Maxwell's Silver Hammer from McCartney: A Life in Lyrics
The UBP is honored to partner once again with the good folks at Pushkin, as we proudly present Season 2, Episode 3 of McCartney: A Life In Lyrics. This week, T.J., Producer Casey, and a rather talkative, dialed-in, obviously present Tony,...
03.02.2024
The Birth of the Beatles (1979) Part 2
The Untitled Beatles Podcast is going to the top! What top? (Spoilers) THE TOP! ...The top of the podcast charts, bay-beeeee! Because it's time to review and dish deep 1979's lost-in-the-sands-of-time TV docudrama, "Birth Of The Beatles". What makes this ridiculous, dated,...
02.24.2024
"The Birth of the Beatles" (1979)
1979. It was the Pete best of times, it was the Pete worst of times. In the 9 long years since the break up, there'd yet to be a major bio-pic about the Fabs, not counting than the rather obviously...
02.17.2024
Paul McCartney and Wings "Band On The Run" Underdubbed Mixes (2024)

The Beatles on Ed Sullivan 60th Anniversary (1964)

Ringo Starr’s “Ringo” (1973) Side Two
Is it possible that Side Two of Ringo Starr's seminal 1973 self-titled album could be the finest piece of plastic ever committed to the work of the Fab Four? Or even second finest, after 2007's Instant Karma: The Amnesty International...
01.20.2024
Ringo Starr's "Ringo" (1973)
Is it possible - merely possible - that Ringo Starr’s 1973 album, “Ringo” is the best solo Beatles album of that incredible year of classic solo Beatles albums? And while we’re at it, does Ringo’s 1978 entry “Bad Boy” still...
01.13.2024
A Tribute to Denny Laine (1944 - 2023)
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Denny Laine is in our ears and in our eyes. And since December 2023, also, sadly, in the skies. As Macca’s most consistent post-Beatles collaborator, Denny Laine’s imprint on Wings and Sir Paul's overall...
01.06.2024
Why We Love The Beatles
Ding Dong, Ding Dong! It’s a New Year! And all we are saying is, it’s about time we open a universal can of Beatles whoop-ass on 2024! Our first show of ’24 gets to the heart of why the UBP...

12.23.2023
Paul McCartney and Wings, ”Band on the Run” (1973)
Many Macca fans would argue that Paul McCartney’s best post-Beatles album is the German 12” Maxi-Single of “All My Trials”. (#WixTrumpetSolo) But others just might suggest that it’s 1973’s still-beloved landmark, “Band On The Run”. This week, Tony & T.J. celebrate...
12.16.2023
The Beatles: 1967–1970, a.k.a. THE BLUE ALBUM (2023 Edition)
Not all greatest hits albums are for house-people and little thems. Some, like “1967-1970” (and its red, commie companion) are as essential as the bands they represent. This week, the Twerk Twins dish deep on the packaging, origin, and legacy...
12.09.2023
The Beatles: 1962–1966, a.k.a. THE RED ALBUM (2023 Edition PART 2)
Legendary comedian Redd Foxx once said of 1973’s 1962-1966 (a.k.a. The Red Album), “you big dummy, where is “If I Needed Someone”? Spoilers: Fred Sanford has been in the great junkyard in the sky for many years, but had he...

The Beatles: 1962–1966, a.k.a. THE RED ALBUM (2023 Edition)

Mind Games (1973) 50th Anniversary Part 2
Let’s keep on playing those Mind Games together, as we delve into the meat (City/Free Monday) of the album, the often overlooked album tracks. Do they deserve their heretofore reputation as merely green Capitol budget label re-issue worthy? Or are...
11.18.2023
Mind Games (1973) 50th Anniversary
John Lennon’s solo output presents a sadly small sample size. Paul’s had 347 solo albums and counting, Ringo releases a new EP every hour on the 8’s, but for the most tragic reason imaginable, John’s catalog is comparatively the smallest....
11.11.2023
Liverpool Drag
What happens when you take the energy of Beatlemania and mix it with a helping of questionably written and performed Beatles-inspired songs? You get Liverpool Drag. Not the Beatles, but an unincredible simulation! This week, Tony & T.J. examine the early...
11.04.2023
Now and Then (2023) INSTANT REACTION
For the first time since the halcyon days of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "Tha Crossroads", there's a NEW Beatles single! Thursday at 9a CT, Chicago Time, my guy, the Fabs dared to want to change the world one last time. Did they...

Yellow Submarine LP (1969) Part 2
Is the original “Yellow Submarine” LP perfect with its’ George Martin score, or is it simply all too much? Well, it’s nice to have the time to take this opportunity…to continue deep dishing on the Beatles’ most underrated core-catalog album...
10.21.2023
Yellow Submarine LP (1969)
If there’s a better kids movie than “Yellow Submarine”, we’ve yet to see it. (Pipe down, “AirBud”!) So, it would stand that 1969’s original Yellow Submarine soundtrack must be the best kids movie soundtrack of all time, correct? (Pipe down,...
10.17.2023
BONUS: Ringo’s ”Rewind Forward” EP (2023)
Breaking UBP Bonus Episode! Tony and T.J. waited until midnight at the long-shuttered Tower Records on Clark St, while dreaming of corned beef sammies from the even-longer-shuttered Belden Deli, to be among the first to stream the new Ringo Starr...

Back In the U.S.S.R from McCartney: A Life in Lyrics
Cue the Salt ’N’ Pepa: Pu-Pu-Pushkin’s real good…at producing podcasts and audiobooks! They’re the force behind the just-dropped “McCartney: A Life in Lyrics” pod, which is off to a delightfully entertaining and insightful start. The dulcet tones of Paul Muldoon...

The Beatles Live at Stowe School (1963)
No less an authority than Mark Lewisohn knows that the skiing scene in "Help!" was filmed in Stowe VT, during the 1997 Winter X-Games, exclusively on ESPN. But before (ahem, #apres) skiing was a very Beatles activity, Stowe was known as...

John & Yoko / Plastic Ono Band - “Some Time in New York City” (1972) Part 2
¿Què Pasa, New York? Mornings, on WXTV, Univision 41, Nueva York! But also, that’s a refrain from arguably the most commercially viable song from John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band’s “Some Time In New York City”. So why wasn’t the semi-title...
09.09.2023
John & Yoko / Plastic Ono Band - “Some Time in New York City” (1972) Part 1
All four solo Fabs released legendary albums in their lives. But among the critical darlings (“Gone Troppo”), chart topping smash hits (“Ringo Rama”, 5.1 edition) and absolutely despised, forgotten about, piles of doggie poo poo doo doo (“Band On The...

Labor Day Weekend FALL PREVIEW
Summertime done, come and gone, oh my my! (#RingoGarcia) Yep, fall is upon us and with it means a boatload of forthcoming Beatles goodies! Maybe? Could there be a 50th “Mind Games”? A deluxe “Rubber Soul”? The long-anticipated expanded “Love...

UBP ESP: Our Red and Blue Album Reissue Predictions
Ice-T asked the question with which many Beatles fans wrestle on his 1988 hit, “Colors”: Red or Blue? Both double albums are amazing chronicles of the Beatles’ chart hits and key album tracks. But they were assembled 50 years ago, and...

The Beatles’ Fab Live Moments (LIVE from Beatlefest 2023!)
They did it live! The Untitled Beatles Podcast recorded their first-ever live show at The Fest For Beatles Fans in Rosemont, IL; proud home of a Caddyshack restaurant and a surprisingly large mafia influence. It marked Tony’s second consecutive Fest,...

Beatles Songs... That Aren’t
Even the most casual Beatles fan knows that Beatles songs are Beatles songs. But did you know that *some* Beatles songs *aren't* *Beatles* songs? #RuleOfSixAsteriks "Follow me?" Or is that merely an obscure Lerner & Loewe song cut from Aaron Sorkin's...

The Beatles’ (Fantasy) Summer LP
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 as Sidemen

Please Please Me (1963) 60th Anniversary Part 1
As if there was ever any doubt, one truth was made evident in the fall 2016: Americans are geniuses! Capitol executives in 1963 were no exception, when they passed on the chance to release the first Beatles album. Then, when...

Ringo & His All-Starr Band (1990) Part 2
From TV's "All Star Blitz" to the the NBA all star celebrity game (feat. some dude from "Grey's Anatomy"), a collection of rando all-stars usually sucks. But not when left to the devices of our dear Ringo, as evidenced in...
06.17.2023
Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band (1990) Part 1
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...
