Winter of Discontent Ep.52 - A Beatles Podcast - Jan 9th 1969 part 7 - Season Finale Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

After spending virtually no time on George’s new composition, the Beatles spend their final hour and a bit arranging Paul’s Let It Be. Sure it’s a great song but you may not want to hear the intro for a while after listening to this. Denis talks movies with Ringo, John asserts himself in the most hilarious way yet! Paul tries to be more collaborative and George wants an early night. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod

Show notes

It’s the afternoon of January 9th 1969, John is having fun, and Paul is loving it. This however, is at the expense of rehearsing George’s new song. Instead what we get is a selection of the most controversial material the band ever recorded. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod

January 9th 1969 - The Beatles run through more of their completed songs starting with Don’t Let Me Down. John is in a joking mood, Paul is sweating the small stuff, George is too loud and Ringo is the drummer. But they end the morning upbeat before going to lunch. www.buymeacoffee.com/wodpod
