It’s September 1962. Ringo had been put in place as the final member in the Beatles’ lineup. Recording sessions had been done and the first single had been chosen. Before long, George Martin was to become very happy with the progress made by his funny-named band from the north. Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of the Beatles60 Podcast. 

In this episode we talk about the convoluted path ‘Love Me Do’ followed to become the first Beatles single to be released (5 October). It wasn't without drama, so we talk about just what Ringo must have felt like when it seemed that he might be left off the recording. The conversation moves to how the working relationship was building between the Beatles and Parlophone’s studio team, led by George Martin. We also have a little discussion with author Jude Southerland Kessler about John’s mother, Julia. An episode packed with insights. Don’t miss it!
