The Big Beatles and 60s Sort Out

Garry Abbott

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.

The Big 60s Sort Out USA! Episode 0
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! As mentioned, Garry's new album is out now! The News (Be Scared) | Garry Abbott
