Something New (1964)

Sure, "A Day In The Life" is ok, and "Tomorrow Never Knows" is fine, but only one Beatles album closes with maybe their greatest song, "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand".

 

It was certainly Something New for Capitol to close their third Beatles album in German, not to mention generously including 5 songs fans in ’64 had already purchased a few weeks beforehand. (#NowOnCapitol!) And yet, because it’s The Freaking Beatles, it’s such a fun and uniquely Capitol album.

 

Tony and T.J. fawn over this million-seller and along the way ask the hard questions they don’t address in Liverpool, like:

 

🐸 Is the Muppet Show’s "Mahna Mahna" best heard in stereo or "Mahnaphonic"?

🍨 Why did Paul ask a witness to #coldstone murder to drum on "Press To Play’s" "Angry"?

🥪 Any of y’all ever spread Heinz Helmer on a sammich?
