Our 150th Episode! The Story Behind: The Beatles - Abbey Road SIDE 1

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. 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.
