On this day in Beatles History: White Album sessions begin in earnest with John’s Revolution 1. This also marks the first occasion that Yoko Ono was present on the studio floor during recording. This would become a source of some friction over time. #beatles#podcast

GET BACK ADVENT CALENDAR, DAY 6 (Dec 14, 1968): It’s 19 days to the Get Back sessions. Only John & Yoko could turn a dentist visit into a multimedia press conference. Plus, new live show rumors & the race to cover (and pretend to be) the Beatles 🗓️🦷
