In hour one we’ll explore the first Bea­tle album released on Apple records. The offi­cial title was “The Bea­t­les” but fans and the Bea­t­les them­selves nick­named the record “The White Album” for its stark white cover.

In hour two we’ll focus on the dis­in­te­gra­tion of The Bea­t­les which took place dur­ing the record­ing of the “White Album.” For many includ­ing the bea­t­les the writ­ing was on the wall and in the songs. This wasn’t a group effort in the true sense of the word it was instead a col­lec­tion of solo songs released under the group head­ing of The Bea­t­les.


Edi­tors Note: The Bea­tle Years aired Sun­day morn­ings on Philadel­phia radio sta­tion 94-WYSP from which these record­ings were made.
