Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. You could be forgiven for thinking that every year their is a celebration of a Beatles anniversary.

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.
