Ryan HendryGUEST
So I was going into it with a little bit of bias and it was only by pleasant surprise where I was like, oh, okay, you know.
Ryan HendryGUEST
And I had just recently, probably a few weeks before, come off of doing the White Album video that I did where I went through and tried to, you know, tabulate all of the different, you know, bases used on the album and on what tracks.
Ryan HendryGUEST
And I came to the conclusion that Paul used his Hoffner on Revolution 1, which I haven't seen talked about much.
Ryan HendryGUEST
I sort of had that tone in my head and I was like, wait a second.

Obadiah JonesHOST
Meet guest number three, Tom Hartman.
Obadiah JonesHOST
Tom has told this story before, notably in Andy Babiuk's Beatles Gearbook.
Obadiah JonesHOST
His stories of crossing paths with the Beatles at EMI Studios during sessions for the White Album and Abbey Road, as well as in London nightclubs, sound too good to be true, but actually, everything checks out.
Obadiah JonesHOST
Unfortunately, there's not time in this episode to hear all of Tom's wonderful adventures, but I'll give you the short recap of what led him to be at EMI Studios on the day of the initial Old Brown Shoes session.
speaker_0HOST
Debuted at number one on the Billboard Albums Chart.
speaker_0HOST
It had different versions of What's the New Mary Jane and acoustic versions from the White Album.
speaker_0HOST
In 1997, the Aquabats released The Fury of the Aquabats.
speaker_0HOST
This was a superhero-themed ska album.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
imagine this.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
You put out the White Album in the fall of 1968.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
You spent all year getting to the place where you've done a busy year.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
68's a busy year.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
True.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
But don't you just go like, let's reconvene in February or March.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
Or let's rehearse the songs from the White Album and do a live concert.
Tim HeideckerGUEST
Paul said, we're going to write a new album and perform it for an audience.
Susana CaseGUEST
Well, I'm a little obsessed with Matinee Girls right now since it just came out.
Susana CaseGUEST
So Matinee Girls is in part a conversation with the Beatles' White Albums since much of it takes place in the 60s.
Susana CaseGUEST
And so interspersed are these what I call intervals.
Susana CaseGUEST
That is, they're reconfigured liner notes for the songs on the two albums.
Susana CaseGUEST
albums that were part of the White Album, what's called the White Album because that wasn't the title, of course.
Susana CaseGUEST
And so this is New Liner Notes, the White Album, side one, track eight, Happiness is a Warm Gun.
Susana CaseGUEST
A warm gun means you just shot something, John Lennon once said, meaning teaching a young man to enjoy shooting is insane.
Susana CaseGUEST
Later, Iconic Irony, He had his own appointment with that insanity outside the Dakota.
Jude CookGUEST
So that got us down to the shortlist, but then to choose a winner was really, really hard because, you know, there was a book we all had consensus about that was brilliant, but was it the one that took the most creative risk? It's the sort of choice between Sgt.
Jude CookGUEST
Pepper and the White Album.
Jude CookGUEST
It's like, yeah, Sergeant Pepper's, yeah, brilliant, brilliant.
Jude CookGUEST
But the White Album takes more risks, you know.
Jude CookGUEST
So we gave it to the White Album in the end.
Jude CookGUEST
But it's very hard.
Jude CookGUEST
It's an invidious process, I think, as you know how much it means to everybody, to the press and, you know, careers can be made or broken.
David HepworthHOST
And that's your lot, you know.
Mark EllenHOST
But actually, I think you can, well, I agree, but you can take three years in the middle of the Beatles and you get all three of those stages.
Mark EllenHOST
So if you go 65 to 68, you've got Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and White Album.
Mark EllenHOST
And so you've got the kind of mop-top element.
Mark EllenHOST
You've still got Drive My Car, Wait, Girl.
David TuckerHOST
In another six weeks or so, Rubber Soul will be out, and the Beatles will have taken another giant leap towards away from the comparatively straightforward love songs, towards something deeper, stranger, more adventurous.
David TuckerHOST
They haven't even recorded Michelle yet.
David TuckerHOST
That comes the following week, and then will come Revolver, Eleanor Rigby, Tomorrow Never Knows, and then Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Strawberry Fields Forever, and Penny Lane, and Hey Jude, and The White Album, And Abby rode.
David TuckerHOST
Something, here comes the sun, come together, and let it be.
David TuckerHOST
My goodness, the Queen was honoring them for what they'd already achieved, and they hadn't even begun to scale some of their greatest musical heights.
speaker_0HOST
Ringo held it all together, literally with that steady, driving backbeat, and personally with a laid-back, easy-going personality that kept four very different guys in the same room.
speaker_0HOST
And when he briefly quit during the White Album sessions in 1968, the other three didn't waste any time and tried to get him back, stat.
speaker_0HOST
They even covered his drum kit in flowers when he returned.
speaker_0HOST
Swoop is the Dinobots' Ringo, or maybe more appropriately, their star.
Mike ParryHOST
Well, do you think, do you honestly think that Paul McCartney, you know, on a night off, oh, I know what I'll do.
Mike ParryHOST
I think I'll go home tonight, I think I'll have a cup of coffee, I think, oh, yeah, let's listen to the White Album.
Mike ParryHOST
Well,
Mike GrahamHOST
he'll probably listen to an album he's making before he puts it out
Ozzy OsbourneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
like, what?
Mick MolloyHOST
Right, well, it explains things like the White Album, doesn't it? The White Album's got to come out of that.
Mick MolloyHOST
Yeah, that's right.
Mick MolloyHOST
Sorry, the Brown.
