The Beatles were chaffed from some seriously tense recording sessions whilst making the "white" album, and then again from the well-documented Get Back era, but, even still, after a break they decided to give it one more go together in the summer of 1969. We go through every song on this momentous album over the course of 2 episodes. This week while covering Side 1 the boys discuss Timothy Leary, the George Martin effect on George Harrison compositions, and the financial situation of Beatles Inc. at the time.
