Show Notes

Since 1987 and the 20th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. You could be forgiven for thinking that every year their is a celebration of a Beatles anniversary.

March 2026, marks a forgotten anniversary, at least as far as Apple are concerned. For on March 6th 1976 all 22 original UK Beatles singles were reissued in smart new picture sleeves. Amazingly all 22 plus a new release of Yesterday b/w I Should Have Known Better entered the UK Top 100. With some, Hey Jude, Get Back and Yesterday even hitting the Top 20.

In this week's episode Mark and I discuss why this reissue series came about. And tell the story of a young 11 year old Beatles fan named Paul, purchasing his first brand new Beatles single.

Welcome to episode 46 of Fixing A Hole. The Beatles podcast you didn't know you needed.
