Abram and Joe discuss The Beatles's second album, "With the Beatles", the most difficult one to search for. You can't even call it "The Second Album" because that refers to a different US-only release. We have fun reviewing the tracks and not talking about Motown, despite Joe's repeated attempts.

They might not have been bigger than Jesus, but they certainly were bigger than Robert Walpole, William Pitt, or Harold Wilson: they were "The Beatles". In this very special episode, Abram takes the microphone and whisks us into a magical mystery tour of Beatles history from their start as the Quarrymen to a very special rooftop concert, and all of the multi-colored aquatic conveyances in between.
This is the original pilot for Prime Factors: Music, as published on our Prime Factors: Ranking UK Prime Ministers feed.
