The Beatles - One More Album

From: WAMU
Length: 00:54:00

April marks 40 years since the breakup of the Beatles. In honor of the milestone, we play a guessing game that has kept fans fighting for years - what would it have sounded like if the band managed to stay together for one more album? (NOTE - the official breakup happened on April 10, 1970.) Read the full description.

Beatlesonemorealbum_2_small April marks 40 years since the Beatles broke up. In honor of the milestone, we play a guessing game that has kept fans fighting for years - what would it have sounded like if the band managed to stay together for one more album? 

To help in our quest, we're joined by a team of musical archeologists - authors who have spent their careers researching Beatles history and digging through the band's unreleased recordings. We’ll try our best to piece together what might have been.

Guests:
Peter Carlin, the author of “Paul McCartney – A Life” … Tim Riley, the author of “Tell Me Why: The Beatles album by album, song by song, the Sixties and After” … and Richie Unterberger, the author of “The Unreleased Beatles.”
