Getting Back To Where They Once Belonged

from Fixing A Hole - The Beatles podcast you didn't know you needed · host Paul Humbley & Mark Wakely

On their return from India in the spring of 1968. The Beatles set about recording the ‘White Album,’ a collection of 30 songs, many of which were written in Rishikesh.  In between these 6 months of recording sessions, they released their 18th single ‘Hey Jude’ and launched their own record label Apple. In episode 7 of Fixing a Hole we look at the 2021 Peter Jackson documentary ‘Get Back’. Which tells the story of why following this intensive period of work, John, Paul, George, and Ringo decided that 6 weeks after the release of the ‘White Album’, they would go back into the studio and write, rehearse, and perform 14 new songs in January 1969.  If you’re a Beatles fan, or just love music we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch via:Facebook: Fixing A Hole https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61562724166069Email: [email protected]
