Review of Everything Was Right: The Beatles' "Revolver"

I thought, two hours ?! and then I wished it would never end. Why does there seem to be an unlimited number of things to say about the Beatles at their best? Perhaps it?s the uncanny combination of personal memory (so many of us living through those sounds as we were forging our souls) and the effect of the curtain being yanked away now. Plus so much of it is about the poetry of recording! This program reminds me a lot of The Wire: relentless, meticulous work on the part of the producer and host, with a rich overflow of excellent interviews. Finally, once each song has been perfectly framed, they actually let you hear it in its entirety, or nearly. And it?s like you?re hearing it for the first time.
