Part two of a fascinating conversation where Jane and Chris (copyrightliteracy.org) talk to Beatles expert Mark Lewisohn about the link between the Beatles and copyright and his relationship with research and archives. Mark (www.marklewisohn.net/) is the author of multiple best selling books on the Beatles, the most recent of which is 2013's Tune In, the first volume in the three part definitive history of the band. We are honoured to be given a tour of his archive which uncovers a wealth of fascinating historical source material. We finish with a discussion about Paul McCartney's efforts to regain control of his back catalogue. This is part 2 of two podcasts. Part 1 (https://soundcloud.com/user-243274189/copyright-waffle-episode-20-with-mark-lewisohn-part-1) includes a discussion about when the Beatles first encountered copyright, their publishing arrangements and copyright infringement cases associated with their music.
