The Big Beatles Sort Out Presents: The Big 60s Sort Out!

Yes, for season 4 we have taken a look at the decade that made (or was made?) by The Beatles, by ranking every UK number one, looking for sneaky Beatles links, and generally putting ourselves in the world where they crafted their legacy.

However! There is more! We have looked at the NME and Melody Maker unique hits, and now we are turning our attention to the Disc magazine chart in this one off special, covering several songs that haven't yet appeared anywhere else (you'll just have to listen to find out what!).

And that's a wrap for Season 4! So have a happy festive period and New Year and we will be back in 2026 with season 5 (at some point)!

If you want to view the complete series 4 singles chart plus these new entries, you can do so⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Garry has a new album out which can be found on all major platforms here (or search for 'Garry Abbott Music'):

Hello! We are taking a small detour from looking at the 60s UK number 1s to chat about the recent reissue of the Beatles Anthology documentary on Disney +, plus some other recent news about the casting of the upcoming movies, and a whole new Hamburg centric drama coming to the BBC.

In this episode we mentioned a website by a chap called Daniel Earwicker who has taken on the mammoth task of comparing the original DVD release with the Disney+ versions. His website can be found here:

We will be back next week to tie up some loose ends with yet more alternative 60s pop charts! See you there!
