To celebrate what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday, we are pleased to welcome Dave Morrell. Beginning as a teen in the 1970s, he amassed such an impressive collection of Beatles memorabilia that when John Lennon heard about it, he promptly asked to meet him. This would begin a series of meetings where Dave would delight John with rare Beatles footage.
Morrell subsequently worked in promotions for several record labels, including Capitol. He not only got to work on a Lennon project, but on Paul McCartney’s Press to Play. We discuss Dave’s friendship with John as well as his latest book, Run-Out Groove: Inside Capitol's 1980s Hits & Stiffs.

In the first of an occasional series, the Talk More Talk team (with our permanent guest host Mean Mr. Mayo subbing for Ken Womack) reassesses what are commonly considered the "worst" solo albums. Were the initial reviews correct, or have they aged better than expected! We kick it off with another listen to Ringo the 4th. Plus Ken Michaels shares the latest news, and we take a deep dive into the McGear reissue. Don't miss it!
