1963: Fanfare for the Common Men

Main Range #178

Released: 11 September 2013

I absolutely love this one, and it’s my favorite of the “1963” trilogy. I’m a sucker for alternate histories around the Beatles, and this definitely delivers. There’s a lot of well-plotted timey-wimey in this one, and that keeps you guessing. The fact that Big Finish provided the Common Men with their own Beatle-esque songs is the perfect touch that takes it over the top. The thick Liverpudlian accents might be a little hard to process on first listen, but that’s part of the price you pay.
