Nicol is now a recluse, and hasn’t spoken to anyone about his time with the Beatles in more than thirty years.Īfter Ringo returned to the group and the film came out they went back into the studio, only two months after the release of their third album, to start work on their fourth. Nicol was a competent drummer, though very different in style from Ringo, and he found his temporary moment of celebrity hugely upsetting - he later described it as the worst thing to ever happen to him, and ended up declaring bankruptcy only nine months after touring with the group. After they’d finished making A Hard Day’s Night, but even before it was released, they had gone on yet another tour, playing Denmark, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand, though without Ringo for much of the tour - Ringo had to have his tonsils removed, and so for the first eight shows of the tour he was replaced by session drummer Jimmy Nicol, the former drummer with Colin Hicks and his Cabin Boys, who had played on several cheap soundalike records of Beatles songs. We’re going to look at “Ticket to Ride”:ġ964 was a tremendously busy year for the Beatles. Today, we’re going to look at the massive artistic growth that happened to them between late 1964 and mid 1965, the making of their second film, Help!, the influence, both artistic and personal, of Bob Dylan on the group, and their introduction both to studio experimentation and to cannabis. When we last looked at the Beatles, they had just achieved their American success, and had appeared in their first film, A Hard Day’s Night. This podcast is brought to you by the generosity of my backers on Patreon. Sadly the only way to legally get the original mix of “Ticket to Ride” is this ludicrously-expensive out-of-print box set, but the 1987 remix is widely available on the CD issue of the Help! soundtrack. I have read literally dozens of books on the Beatles, and used bits of information from many of them, but the ones I specifically referred to while writing this episode were: The Complete Beatles Chronicle by Mark Lewisohn, All The Songs: The Stories Behind Every Beatles Release by Jean-Michel Guesdon, And The Band Begins To Play: The Definitive Guide To The Songs of The Beatles by Steve Lambley, The Beatles By Ear by Kevin Moore, Revolution in the Head by Ian MacDonald, and The Beatles Anthology.įor material on the making of the film, I referred to Getting Away With It by Steven Soderbergh, a book which is in part a lengthy set of conversations between Soderbergh and Richard Lester. No Mixcloud this week, as there are too many songs by the Beatles. Check out Tilt’s irregular podcasts at and
