In this episode, Dave and Chris go back into the lab to examine the Beatles’ early B‑side “Ask Me Why,” exploring its unusual and sophisticated (for the time) chord progression, three‑part vocals, lyrics, and recording history from the Pete Best era to *Please Please Me.* As usual, Chris digs deep to find interesting cover versions (linked below)!
We also catch you up on a couple of new items including George Harrison’s upcoming photo book, the *Rubber Soul* box set, and some recent Lennon family news.
