Like the Beatles with an Eric Clapton on While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Jordan ZadoroznyGUEST
And Billy Preston on the Let It Be album.
MarkHOST
Exactly, exactly.
MarkHOST
Nobody had any idea at the time that it was eric clapton unless you were a huge eric clapton fan and you could tell his tone and his style
Mark MurphyHOST
Well, not producer, but sound engineer.
Mark MurphyHOST
He's worked on Let It Be and Abbey Road, so Paul would know him from that.
Mark MurphyHOST
He also was a sound engineer on Dark Side of the Moon.
Mark MurphyHOST
So this is a guy who is...
1 HR 56 MINS LATER
Mark MurphyHOST
unless i'm mistaken i think we've still got um at least at least two more versions of the long and winding road to go because there's the trip in life fantastic version yeah but then i mean we'll probably end up covering it at some
Marnix WestlingHOST
it's probably on back in the u.s or back in the world
Mark MurphyHOST
Well, there's all the live versions, and I'm also thinking Let It Be Naked as well.
Marnix WestlingHOST
Oh, well, that's okay.
Michael SokilHOST
On to Katie.
Michael SokilHOST
So, Katie, your first episode was episode 13 around April 2017 towards the end of the album by album episodes on Let It Be.
Michael SokilHOST
As a fan, it's hard to imagine the show without you, Katie.
Michael SokilHOST
Oh,
Tim FriedmannHOST
You know, we have three for you.
Tim FriedmannHOST
Bridge Over Troubled Water, Let It Be.
Tim FriedmannHOST
Those are two obvious ones.
Tim FriedmannHOST
Right.
Tim FriedmannHOST
It signified the last of... uh simon garfunkel's their fifth and final
Frank OstHOST
yeah they're two you know we usually talk about debut albums these were both swan songs for both the beetle beetles and simon garfunkel
Tim FriedmannHOST
and as our listeners recall we had a whole segment about that a whole season almost of best final albums sure a bridge over troubled water and let it be then i have sweet baby james by james taylor is second but not his last album
Frank OstHOST
not
Nate BrownHOST
But after that, they continued to record, and the stuff that they recorded last became the next album, Abbey Road.
Nate BrownHOST
And then the stuff that they had recorded leading up to the so-called rooftop concert was not put out as an album until 1970, and it was the Let It Be album.
Nate BrownHOST
And they also had Phil Spector do his stuff with it before it became an album.
Nate BrownHOST
And when I say they, I mean that Lennon sent it over to Phil Spector and let him do that stuff without really telling the others.
Nate BrownHOST
We'll talk more about it next week because we're going to listen to these two albums.
Nate BrownHOST
On the playlist, I put Abbey Road first because that's the album that came out first.
Nate BrownHOST
But if you want to listen to Let It Be first, every track except I, Me, Mine for Let It Be was recorded before every track on Abbey Road.
Nate BrownHOST
And then I, Me, Mine was actually the very last track recorded of any of these and any track that is credited to the Beatles.
AaronHOST
So that's why there's kind of a, a Who influence here.
AaronHOST
And the engineer was Glyn Johns, who would go on to, uh, I guess, produce and record the initial Get Back sessions with The Beatles, which then became the album Let It Be.
AaronHOST
Anyway, so although this song was recorded in '65, it actually dates from an earlier era.
AaronHOST
It might be one of the first compositions that Dave Bowie made, uh, because it wa- it's considered to be the first song he demoed.
Chris GoldenHOST
I have other stories about the emotions, but that will have to be for another time because we need to get on with the music.
Chris GoldenHOST
Mr. Billy Preston been playing professional since 10 years old as a regular session musician until pretty much when he got the breakthrough with the Beatles with their Let It Be album.
Chris GoldenHOST
I've chosen a track from him from 1969.
Chris GoldenHOST
That's the way God planned it.
Fenner PearsonHOST
Yeah.
Stephen BuckleyGUEST
Uh, [laughs] yeah, very much like, uh, like that kind of, um, like Paul McCartney on the, um, Let It Be, uh, them kind of Abbey Road recordings that came out a few years ago, except not as talented.
Stephen BuckleyGUEST
But, uh-
Fenner PearsonHOST
