Bonus episode time! Take it Away has once again combined forces with the Yesterday & Today Podcast (currently celebrating 200 episodes) to bring you a special all-new discussion we're calling WE READ THE NEWS TODAY. Hosts Paul Kaminski and Chris Mercer are joined by Wayne Kaminski to read, review and examine the fascinating TIME Magazine feature story from September 22nd, 1967 titled "The Beatles: Their New Incarnation". The goal of this series of episodes is to offer a glimpse into the minds of contemporaneous journalists and critics that analyzed the Beatles story in real time at various points in the band's history and beyond. We hope you enjoy this wide-ranging discussion as we enjoyed melting them!

Let's hear a round of one-handed applause for an all-new bonus episode of the Take it Away podcast! Your humble co-hosts are "live in the studio" to review, analyze and critique the two new Paul McCartney & Wings releases from this past year: One Hand Clapping and Band on the Run - Underdubbed. First up is the long-awaited standalone release of Wings Mach 1.5's most expansive effort before the departure of drummer Geoff Britton, an idea hatched by Paul & Linda to capture both audio and video of the band prepping for a new tour. While widely bootlegged and only ever officially released in sporadic chunks over the years, One Hand Clapping at last gets its due as a snapshot of this tuneful, rocking, high-energy era of the Wings project. Next, a revelatory gaze into the rough mixes of Paul, Linda and Denny's seminal Band on the Run LP, christened "Under-Dubbed" and freshly issued to mark 50 years since the album's initial release. So grab your polygons, take off your face, and rejoin TIA for a journey back into the complete Paul McCartney archive...

Try some of this episode! We're back for the second and final installment of our look back at George Harrison's 1973 album Living in the Material World - a masterpiece to many and a worthy follow-up to All Things Must Pass. In this episode, we'll conclude our track-by-track analysis of the record, including album highlights "Be Here Now," "Who Can See It," and of course the title track "Living in the Material World" - George's ode to rock and roll life and simultaneous yearning to escape it. This collection of nearly all new material was a smash success commercially, though its critical reception would be but a preview of challenges to come for George later in the decade. That is all for Season 5 of Take it Away, and we'd like to thank everyone for joining us on this foray into the solo work of George Harrison. We'll see you next time as the 70s rage on, the albums multiply, and an upstart record label appears on the scene...
