   Bigger Than Jesus - Part Two

   Bigger Than Jesus - Part Two Four months passed between John Lennon free-associating about Christianity to a trusted journalist, and touching down in the US for a North American tour.

   Bigger Than Jesus - Part One

   Bigger Than Jesus - Part One John Lennon never actually said that the Beatles were “bigger than Jesus”, but that wasn’t the point. When you’re free-associating to a trusted journalist, what’s to stop your words being lost in translation as they cross the Atlantic? Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.

   NIR Reissue: Rubber Soul - Part Three

   Originally Released December 2021 Rubber Soul - Part Three To get Rubber Soul finished The Beatles pull an all-nighter and raid the Abbey Road cupboard for leftover tracks. Then the album needs a name, a cover, and a totally different American version. Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.

   NIR Reissue: Rubber Soul - Part Two

   Originally Released December 2021 Rubber Soul - Part Two With an album due on shop shelves in six weeks, and less than half of it recorded, it makes total sense for The Beatles to take part in a TV variety special.
