Hey everybody, it's Jason here. You might have noticed that it's anthology reissue season.

Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are out again on vinyl and CD, a new volume 4 is appearing,

and the TV series is getting a spit and polish and is being reissued next week,

on streaming again with some bonus material.

We thought at the Nothing Israel offices that we should get into the spirit of things ourselves

and have decided to reissue some bits and pieces from our back catalogue to celebrate

Anthology Week.

And we're going to start with this.

It's an edit from our interview with Mark Lewis and way back in October 2019.

And he's talking to us here a little bit, about what led him to working on the anthology

and we'll put out a few more bits and pieces next week.

Enjoy.

Welcome to Nothing is Real, a podcast about the Beatles.

Everybody thinks they know the Beatles,

but how much do we really know?

I'm Jason Carty.

I'm Stephen Corkroft, and we're live on tape from Dublin.

When we started the podcast, if you go back and listen to our introductory episode,

we speculated from time to time we would have special guests.

And we didn't realize back then that our first guest would be the one and only Mark Lewison.

Hello, Mark.

Hello. And welcome to the Nothing Is Real Studio Penthouse. If you're listening to this podcast, you already know who Mark Lewson is, I hope, but on the off chance you don't, he's the world's leading expert and historian about The Beatles, publishing his first book on the subject, The Beatles Live in 1986 and going up to his most recent publication in 2013, The Beatles, All These Years, Volume 1, Tune in.
