Welcome to Nothing Is Real, a podcast about the Beatles.

Everybody thinks they know the Beatles, but how much do we really know?

My name's Jason Carty.

My name's Stephen Corkroft.

And we are live on tape from Dublin and Belfast.

This episode is Part 2 of Side 2 of the White Album.

And the story so far is that in November 1968, the Beatles put out the White Album.

It has 30 songs.

Side 2 has nine songs. And we went through the first four

last week. Martha, my dear, I'm so tired, Black Britain Piggies. We pick up the story with Rocky Raccoon.

I can feel we're going to spend 40 minutes on Rocky Raccoon. Well, I'm fine with that,

you know. This is a song that was recorded in a single session.

It is a track that was constructed in India,

so it came back and got featured on the Eishar demos.

And it was the 18th song out of 35 recorded for the White Album.

So it's recorded Bang Splat in the middle of the sessions.

And it does have all four Beatles on it.

So that's a plus.

And it's great.

I can imagine it's right up your streets, too.

It is.

It's, it's, no, no.
