It’s 1964. The Beatles have conquered America. But beneath the screams and the hysteria lies a secret—a mystery so audacious, so rhythmically complex, that it has remained hidden for decades. Could it be true that Bernard Purdie, legendary session drummer, played on Beatles records?
Join hard-hitting investigator Tony Mendoza as he dives headfirst into one of rock and roll’s most bizarre conspiracy theories. Along the way, he encounters a rogue’s gallery of underground insiders whose stories paint a picture of deception, syncopation, and a janitor with a mop that could shuffle harder than a Reno croupier.
Did Bernard Purdie really lay down the beat for the biggest band in the world? Or is this just another myth in the long, strange history of Beatles lore?
Find out in The Purdie Sound of Music—an exhaustive 87-part true (or false?) crime docuseries. Coming April 1, 2026, only on The Untitled Beatles Podcast.
