On their return from India in the spring of 1968. The Beatles set about recording the ‘White Album,’ a collection of 30 songs, many of which were written in Rishikesh.
In between these 6 months of recording sessions, they released their 18th single ‘Hey Jude’ and launched their own record label Apple.
In episode 7 of Fixing a Hole we look at the 2021 Peter Jackson documentary ‘Get Back’. Which tells the story of why following this intensive period of work, John, Paul, George, and Ringo decided that 6 weeks after the release of the ‘White Album’, they would go back into the studio and write, rehearse, and perform 14 new songs in January 1969.
If you’re a Beatles fan, or just love music we’d love to hear from you.
