It’s quite usual to only hear The Beatles spoken about after the fact – it’s all reminiscing, revisionism, and all that.

What feels unusual now, is to hear a Beatle talk about just one record, at the time it was being released.

With that, someone’s uploaded a full interview from Radio Luxembourg with Tony Mcarthur, speaking to John Lennon about the new Beatle record, ‘Abbey Road’, track-by-track.

It’s a great snapshot of listening to The Beatles as a current thing, rather than a thing that has passed.

Given what we know now, it’s fascinating to hear one of the group speaking in the middle of a tense situation we all now know was looming heavily over the band.

Press play.
