1964 with Ben and Tim
Fab, groovy, some Ringos etc. Back to the sixties for TATP‘s hardy time travellers Ben Baker and Tim Worthington all the way from the future where men are living in domed communities and flying around on robot William Hartnells. 1964 seems like it could be quite a dull, old farty year, but far from it, as pop, rock, psych, jazz, garage, soul and whatever the frig One Way Pendulum is.

In today’s show we learn who was the 27th Beatle, how possibly not to pronounce Cal Tjader, Arthur C Clarke seemingly invents Twitter, which woman desperately needs AN EGG, we shuffle quickly past terrifying Shakin’ Stevens-centric Motown revival, who had a fight with legendary manager Don Arden, investigating Beatles that isn’t Beatles, when the Daleks confused shipping and the BBC got to banning, what its like to live in Liverpool home of the loveable moptops and why this led someone to have a fight with a bus, David Bowie gets revenge, “preverts”, BBC2 launches in a blaze of silence and then troubling mild racism, we get all gooey over Anthony Newley and we spend most of our time promoting other podcasts we’ve done. We’re ace us.

The TATP Years: 1976
1976 already? But we were just in 1972! Well put down those platform shoes and then attack Nick Kent with them as PUNKS is round the corner and nothing would ever be the same again. Or absolutely identical. One of those anyway. Sadly this is the final episode of series 2 but we’re going out in a glittery bang. Or should that be a POP! as we start with the most 1976 clip ever – Keith Chegwin interviewing ABBA on Swap Shop. And how long did it take you to record your greatest hits…?
Bouncing between pop, punk and um…pop punk, 1976 brings up varied music from Thin Lizzy, Can, 5000 Volts, Blondie, Al Stewart, Wings, The Runaways, George Harrison, Queen, Candi Staton, Ramones, the cast of Bugsy Malone and even top punk legends Rick Dees & His Cast Of Idiots!
Clips come from the aforementioned Noel Edmonds’ Multicoloured Swap Shop, Doctor Who, Brutus Jeans, Derek & Clive Live, Top Of The Pops, Network, The Slipper And The Rose, Big John Little John, So It Goes, Assault On Precinct 13, The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin, Car Wash, Ripping Yarns and those wicked Sexual Pistols not saying “fuck” on the Today programme.

The TATP Years: 1964
1964. The rise of The Beatles, eh? With all their…Beatling. And indeed in this new TATP Years mix their shadow looms large as the pop beat boom marches modishly up the charts. That said there’s still plenty of room for the burgeoning Motown sound, jazz, easy listening, folk, soul and bedroom balladeering. Oh and Morse code warning people about Dalek invasion.
Or to be more precise: Cal Tjader, The Zombies, John Coltrane, The Supremes, Beach Boys, George Martin, The Nashville Teens, Sandie Shaw, The Earthlings, Manfred Mann, Pat Bowie, Henry Mancini, The Rolling Stones, Anthony Newley, Bob Dylan, THEM and…oh yes, The Beatles.
Visual treats in audio form come via the future world of the past in Tomorrow’s World, Doctor Who and those naughty Daleks, Masque Of The Red Death, Tonight (with a young hairy David Bowie), Not Only But Also, David Jacobs presenting Top Of The Pops, A Hard Day’s Night, Play School, Dr Strangelove, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again, Arthur C. Clarke on Horizon, The Man From UNCLE, One Way Pendulum, the troubled launch of yet another channel and…AN EGG. LISTEN TO IT YOU DAMN, PREVERTS!
And don’t forget our brand new spanking iTunes link which you can find here. A Mixcloud upload will be along later but no bugger uses it much so it might be a while yet. Due to us needing to swap iTunes links, our new page was looking awfully bare and unloved but some of you came through a treat so a massive thanks to everyone who gave us a nice review / rating, especially Nik Horne and Richard Eason. Damned fine souls all. AN EGG for everybody!
