Apple To The Core, By Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld, Part I

Part I. One of the more influential but under-the-radar books in Beatles historiography, Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld's Apple to the Core is a book whose chronological context is key, as Karen and Erin discuss in this two-segment episode of "All Together Now." From the interviews given in the single most agenda-driven year in Beatles historiography, to omissions of contradictory evidence, to interpretations influenced by the era's establishment vs. countercultural split, this episode delves into the depiction of Allen Klein in the immediate aftermath of the Beatles' trial and how Apple to the Core contributed to the Lennon Remembers narrative.

Have you ever wanted to take a graduate class in Beatle history? In this podcast, hosts Karen Hooper and historian/author Erin Weber delve into the band's historiography--- the study of how their story has been told over time -- by reviewing beatle biography in the context of its data sources, the objectives and biases of the individuals who have constructed its narratives, and the varying versions of Beatle history contained within its pages. A podcast for Beatles lovers, readers, and history lovers alike.
