Great discussion, and Mitch was right as rain on all his opinions and knowledge. Now And Then is the perfect ending, for the song, the video presentation of it and that final bow, WELL DONE BEATLES!
Another great show. I really enjoyed Mitch as a guest. I have his book Beatletoons. Great book about The Beatles cartoons. You should seek it out if you don't already have it.
Great to look back at the impact of this song on people. For me the highlight was listening to the song when it dropped on Apple Music for the first time. I still think the greatest power of this song was the amount of positivity and goodwill that came from it. I still enjoy it although I have some issues with the video but there are elements of it that I love. Love seeing Mitch on your program as he is such an important voice in the Beatles community. Thanks again guys!
for its like for Mitch, I always felt nostalgic about the song even as a demo, he chord progression of John is just so melancholic and pure. Ofc it played with it that was abandoned and Paul wanted to finish it while he gets older and older.
Thank you so much Mitch, Tom and Andy for one of the best 2 Legs episodes yet. I am a huge fan of Free as a bird, Real Love, and Now and Then. I have always loved free as a bird and real love and find them flawless. I don't understand the hate for those songs at all. I like Mitch love Now and Then. It truly does sound modern for a song written in 1977. I believe at that time John was missing May Pang and IMO that's who it's about. Now I am stunned by some of Mitch's picks for worst Paul songs. I don't understand the hate for the songs If You Wanna, and Rough Ride. They both rock imo and have sexually suggestive lyrics that I love. I still get a thrill from Now and Then a year on.
Mitch says stay away from Merchbar--I already ordered the LPs from them because TJR gave out that info about their sale price of the Capitol set. He said he's never had issues from them so I have to take it on faith I'm not getting screwed.
For Elvis they also just extended the „1“ compilation with 5 extra songs just because they are hits. Like Now And Then, Please Please Me, Here Comes The Sun, Strawberry Fields Forever..
also for normal Beatles songs the recordings use often different recordings tapes that may including George doing a part from there and Ringo from there. So its like for Now And Then mixing few recordings together.
Mitch knows some insiders, has he heard any indication of a volume 2 of the Capitol albums next year, collecting the rest of them? Would be great to finally own a legit version of the Butcher cover!
Great, free as a bird and real love shud be remixed in 2025 with far better Lennon vocals,,,,,if All For Love come out will be unb if finished song...also Lennon recorded guitar demo of free as a bird on guitar with extra verses with prob better sound.............
Now and Then should have been added to an expanded 1, and that should have been the album that Now and Then was included on in 2023. They could have kept CD1 the same, and a CD2 could have had popular album cuts, streaming hits, songs that didn't hit #1 but were still popular, and the three reunion tracks all together at the end of disc 2. Box set idea........2cd/1br or 4LP.......1: The Now and Then Edition. And of course, since it hit #1, it would be fitting to already have it in the package ;)
@@ricardo_miguel13 Yep! And the expanded 1 could have featured remixes while Red and Blue remained a forever home for the original mixes. It would have made much more sense this way.
@ I personally wouldn’t include remixes because most people stream the „main“ mix and sadly remixes are counted as new mostly so those songs would have no chance to increase the number for charts and be seen by the most people.
My least favourite McCartney tracks are Hotel in Benidorm from Paul is Live Kreen Akore from McCartney I Want to Come Home from the Robert de Niro film Long Tailed Winter Bird from McCartney 3 Dear Friend from Wildlife To You from Back to Egg Front Parlour from McCartney 2 Hey Hey and Tug of Peace from Pipes of Peace Spinning on an Axis from D Rain. Hosanna and Early Days from New
Interesting list, although I don't dislike any of the songs on the list. Surprised about the inclusion of I Want to Come Home. Here's my list: 1. All the covers on Kisses on the Bottom 2. Big Boys Bickering 3. What's That You're Doing 4. Bogey Wobble 5. If You Wanna 6. Warm and Beautiful 7. Riding to Vanity Fair 8. The two "Deep" songs on McCartney III 9. The weird long tracks at the end of Electric Arguments 10. Spirits of Ancient Egypt
@@christopherhahn6728I love Warm and Beautiful. But that is the beauty of having someone so talented like Macca. There is a bunch to dislike, but a ton to really enjoy.
Mitch is always great guys. One of your best chats of the year! Well done and bravo
Thanks so much.

Great conversation! I love listening to Mitch's comments. Looking forward to you guys having him on again.
Thank you so much.

Thanks Bill.
Great conversation guys - really enjoyed it!!
I think Mitch means the song „Madman“ that was in Get Back
THANK YOU. I just could NOT remember the name.
for its like for Mitch, I always felt nostalgic about the song even as a demo, he chord progression of John is just so melancholic and pure. Ofc it played with it that was abandoned and Paul wanted to finish it while he gets older and older.
I agree with Mitch, there is something inheritenly moving about Now and Then, even in its demo form.
Real Love is still in a swiss chocolate advert right now

Hello from Ireland
Mitch says stay away from Merchbar--I already ordered the LPs from them because TJR gave out that info about their sale price of the Capitol set. He said he's never had issues from them so I have to take it on faith I'm not getting screwed.
For Elvis they also just extended the „1“ compilation with 5 extra songs just because they are hits. Like Now And Then, Please Please Me, Here Comes The Sun, Strawberry Fields Forever..
I thought 'Now and Then' wouldn't fit well at the end of the blue album, but it does. Sounds great!
also for normal Beatles songs the recordings use often different recordings tapes that may including George doing a part from there and Ringo from there. So its like for Now And Then mixing few recordings together.
Now and then may chart again if/when it wins a Grammy....1 should just have Now and Then on ie 1 song...
Hi Guys
Mitch knows some insiders, has he heard any indication of a volume 2 of the Capitol albums next year, collecting the rest of them? Would be great to finally own a legit version of the Butcher cover!
Honestly, nothing has been hinted at a 1965/66 box but it does make sense. Starting with Pepper there are no differences
Beatles 1 is their number 1 songs only. Maybe they should have a greatest hits package with all their top 40 hits .
Great, free as a bird and real love shud be remixed in 2025 with far better Lennon vocals,,,,,if All For Love come out will be unb if finished song...also Lennon recorded guitar demo of free as a bird on guitar with extra verses with prob better sound.............

@@jeffreyroedel9804 Well it would’ve been rather presumptious to include Now and Then on the 1 album before it placed in the charts!
yes thats what I‘m saying. For Elvis they just extended the 1 hit completion and now all is in it. Also better for new fans or even the charts
@@2LegsAPaulMcCartneyPodcast Not if it ended the second disc of non-number one but popular Beatles songs.
@@ricardo_miguel13 Yep! And the expanded 1 could have featured remixes while Red and Blue remained a forever home for the original mixes. It would have made much more sense this way.

@ I agree with Bogey Wobble and If You Wanna. Also the long song Deep deep Feeling. Just remembered another naff track, All You Horseriders.
I don’t care for the covers on the Kissing o t B album too
