Episode 8: Who wants yesterday’s papers

In this episode, James and Ray study the conversation during the course of 1967, a landmark year, especially for the Beatles. The Stones continue to promote their libertine agenda but reveal a rare sensitivity in the song Ruby Tuesday. The Beatles cement their identification with love as an ideal and an aspiration, culminating in one of their best loved songs … All You Need Is Love.
