59. Michael Carpenter on The Beatles "White Album" Side 4

We wrap up our four-part look at the Beatles White Album by welcoming back producer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and co-proprietor of Love Hz studios - Michael Carpenter.

Why were the Beatles Michael's first memory? Which version of "Revolution" is better - electric or semi-acoustic? How did Lennon's songwriting change on the White Album? How did Lennon come through for McCartney on "Honey Pie"? How did "Savoy Truffle" change the way Michael records music? Why does Michael (and John Lennon) hate "Cry Baby Cry"? How the hell can Michael defend "Revolution 9"?

All this and more for your listening pleasure.
