Musician brothers Paul and Garry Abbott discuss and rank their favourite Beatles and 60s records. The first three seasons covered everything Beatles, including the core catalogue, the movies and extras, and even the 70s solo singles. In season 4 they looked at the wider musical landscape by ranking all the UK 60s Number 1s, and continue to do this in Series 5 with the US Number 1s.

Howdy!
The Big 60s Sort Out is back! And this time we are looking across the pond to the USA to rank all the US Number 1 singles from the 1960s for lyrics, music and production.
In this pre-series episode, we catch-up with some Beatles news and look back at some of the very first US charts, from sheet music sales in the 1910s, to the first consolidated pop music chart in 1958, and we talk about what we might expect over the coming series!
Thanks for joining us as we continue to try and sort, the 60s!

The Big Beatles Sort Out Presents: The Big 60s Sort Out!
Yes, for season 4 we have taken a look at the decade that made (or was made?) by The Beatles, by ranking every UK number one, looking for sneaky Beatles links, and generally putting ourselves in the world where they crafted their legacy.
However! There is more! We have looked at the NME and Melody Maker unique hits, and now we are turning our attention to the Disc magazine chart in this one off special, covering several songs that haven't yet appeared anywhere else (you'll just have to listen to find out what!).
And that's a wrap for Season 4! So have a happy festive period and New Year and we will be back in 2026 with season 5 (at some point)!

Hello! We are back with a special report from our recent visit to Hamburg!
We spent 3 nights in Hamburg in early September 2025 visiting some of the Beatle sights and the amazing City itself, and this is our thoughts on what we found, recorded out and about and debriefing in the hotel.
We hope you enjoy - it's a first for us doing a travel episode like this, so excuse us if we ramble on a bit here and there, it was a lot to take in!
We will be back again soon looking at the NME number 1s and slotting them into the 60s chart from series 5.
Danke fürs Zuhören!
Mon, 22 Sep 2025 - 55min - 180 - BBSO Free As A Bird Remix Special!
Hello! We are back with a special listening to the new remixed version of Free As A Bird featuring the 'cleaned up' Lennon vocals using the same MAL technology used on 'Now And Then' - Is it a change for the better? Listen to find out what we thought and for a general catch up on all things Beatles doing the rounds at the moment!
To listen along, here is the original 1995 version:

And here is the 2025 new version:

I'll see if I can also pull these in as linked songs on the Spotify feed.
Enjoy, and we will be back again soon! Bye! Beatles!
Mon, 08 Sep 2025 - 46min - 179 - BBSO Beatles Cartoon Special Vol 2!
We are back with another mid season extra - this time we are discussing Episode 5 of the Beatles Cartoon, featuring the songs 'Baby's in Black', 'Misery', 'I'll Get You' and 'Chains' along to lots of silly antics involving vampires, mostly.
At the time of publishing, this link was a good place to watch the episode: https://archive.org/details/ep5_20240123
We hope you enjoy our little chat and we will be back with more specials over the coming weeks and months!
Sat, 09 Aug 2025 - 58min - 178 - BBSO Special Report - Lawrence Wright Music Catalogue
This episode is a mini-documentary made by Paul that was originally featured in episode 54 of the fantastic Winter Of Discontent podcast. That show looks in forensic detail at the Nagra tapes of the Get Back sessions and Paul contributed this research package - all about the Lawrence Wright music catalogue, to the show. It's a ten minute look into the background of why Dick James was so excited to share news of this publishing purchase coup with the boys, as seen in the Get Back documentary. If you enjoy this little snippet, then you'll love Winter of Discontent, so look it up in the usual pod places.
We will be back with more specials over the next few months so stay tuned!

Mum mentions music therapy for dementia at one point, so here is a link from dementiauk.org where you can search for local services:

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 - 1h 14min - 147 - BBSO Presents: Yvonne Innes - Dip My Brain In Joy
In 2019 we lost a Rutle, a Bonzo and a Python - these were all one man; the incredible Neil Innes. His wife Yvonne, who was with him since the early sixties, has now written a memoir of Neil's life and their time together - Dip My Brain In Joy: A Life With Neil Innes, which is available from 24th October 2024 from Nine Eight Books.
In this chat, Yvonne talks about Neil's philosphy of life and language, his risk-taking and what it was like to be around art-schools in the sixties as a new wave of comedians and musicians started to change the world. She also discusses her own "pro good-things, anti bad-things" stance, her and Neil's relationship to finance and how these things can affect art and creativity.
Thanks so much to Yvonne for making the time to chat to us! Enjoy.
A celebration of the life of Neil Innes takes place in London on the 28th November and standing tickets are still available.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 - 1h 20min - 137 - BBSO Exclusive! Behind The Scenes @ Egg Pod Live 2024
Hello! We have the privilege and honour this week to share with you exclusive audio from behind the scenes at the recent live episode recording of Chris Shaw's final 'I Am The EggPod' podcast, featuring interviews by Rob Manuel with EggPod fans and alumni, including:
Mark Lewisohn, Samira Ahmed, Joel Morris, Nadia Shireen, Jason Hazeley, Julia Raeside, Matt Everitt, Kevin Eldon, Jill Connolly, Mark Newlove, Eleanor Gray, Adam S Leslie, Chris Chibnall, James Marshall... and more!
If you don't know, 'EggPod' was a massive influence on us starting our show. Chris brings such warmth and passion when talking about The Beatles, and meeting him last year and finding out that he listens to (and likes!) our little show has been a highlight of my podcasting journey so far.
So, thanks Chris for the EggPod and for asking us if we would like to share this with our fans, and I expect, many people who will never have heard of us before! We hope you enjoy and please consider having a listen to some of our regular episodes from our first 4 series.

Mon, 20 May 2024 - 1h 23min - 131 - How To Become Famous! Special Episode with Cass R. Sunstein
Hello and welcome to a Big Beatles Sort Out bonus episode!
We have once again been speaking with author, Beatles fan, legal scholar, Harvard professor, and all round interesting chap, Cass R. Sunstein, about his new book: 'How To Become Famous' published by Harvard Business Review Press out on the 21st May 2024.
The book features The Beatles as one of several case studies into the phenomenon, philosophy and mechanisms of 'fame', so we caught up with him via internet link to the US East Coast to chat the Beatles and fame!
His book can be pre-ordered/purchased here (depending on when you are listening to this!):
