Garry Abbott

Musician brothers Paul and Garry Abbott discuss and rank their favourite Beatles and 60s records. The first three seasons covered everything Beatles, including the core catalogue, the movies and extras, and even the 70s solo singles. In season 4 they are looking at the wider musical landscape by ranking all the UK 60s Number 1s! Please enjoy and keep in touch on Twitter and Instagram @big_sort.

  • 131 - How To Become Famous! Special Episode with Cass R. Sunstein

    Hello and welcome to a Big Beatles Sort Out bonus episode!

    We have once again been speaking with author, Beatles fan, legal scholar, Harvard professor, and all round interesting chap, Cass R. Sunstein, about his new book: 'How To Become Famous' published by Harvard Business Review Press out on the 21st May 2024.

    The book features The Beatles as one of several case studies into the phenomenon, philosophy and mechanisms of 'fame', so we caught up with him via internet link to the US East Coast to chat the Beatles and fame!

    His book can be pre-ordered/purchased here (depending on when you are listening to this!):
