This time round, we cover the second half of the year as our four intrepid musical explorers continue their furious work rate and have their first proper brushes with the British establishment. They also record and release their second album and yet more seminal singles, and slowly set their sights on the ‘land of milk and honey’ across the Atlantic while conquering their homeland completely and finding time to record the first of their special Christmas messages for their growing number of fan club members… Links to Ken’s work can be found below &amp;nbsp; Enjoy! &amp;nbsp; Feedback to&amp;nbsp;glassonionpod@yahoo.com Support the show at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno OR https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno &amp;nbsp; Facebook page-&amp;nbsp;https://www.facebook.com/glassonionjlpod Twitter handle&amp;nbsp;https://www.twitter.com/OnionLennon &amp;nbsp; Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching)&amp;nbsp;https://www.antonyrotunno.com Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology and Alternative media)&amp;nbsp; https://www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; links to Ken’s 1963 book and his other work https://books.telegraph.co.uk/Product/Ken-McNab/Shake-It-Up-Baby--The-Rise-of-Beatlemania-and-the-Mayhem-of-1963/28593694 https://www.waterstones.com/author/ken-mcnab/1270697 Ken’s previous appearances on Glass Onion https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com/episode-17-and-in-the-end-with-ken-mcnab-part-1-of-2 https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com/episode-18-and-in-the-end-with-ken-mcnab-part-2-of-2 https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com/episode-54-john-lennon-albums-ranked-with-kit-otoole-ken-mcnab-part-1-of-2 https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com/episode-55-john-lennon-albums-ranked-with-kit-otoole-ken-mcnab-part-2-of-2 &amp;nbsp; episode links Beatles 1963 timeline https://dmbeatles.com/history.php?year=1963 The Beatles at the London Palladium (October 1963) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBdUjrkCZ4 The Fabs rock out on Swedish TV! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYpVNpXCAls The Beatles’ ‘rattle yer jewellery’ Royal Variety Show performance (colourised and sound-enhanced) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRr5uCSBvhw The Beatles Come To Town (Manchester 1963) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_hRHRtN8Q The Beatles Xmas Record 1963 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzm8o3ytoRk Beatles Studio Outtakes (funny!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZupFJVh2dS0 Glass Onion: On John Lennon https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/28147379/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/28147379
