Freshly married and without the Let It Be documentary cameras rolling, The Beatles head into their favorite London recording studio to lay down an all time classic before calling it quits forever. In our thrilling conclusion, we cover every track on Side 2 and chatter about the most popular Beatles song in the digital era, guitar solos played by bass players, and using every note in the western scale in a single, strange composition.

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.
