Andrew Wild and (Big Big Train frontman) Alberto Bravin have listened to, digested and discussed the entire Beatles back catalogue. 

 

This first volume of their On Track analysis covers the period 1962 to 1966, from 'Love Me Do' to 'Tomorrow Never Knows', and the early albums that were different in the UK and the USA, and chronicles four years of outstanding, groundbreaking music that lifted The Beatles above every other band of their era.
