If you watch the Beatles Let It Be film, you could be forgiven for thinking that by January 1969, The Beatles were finished. The writing was on the wall and they couldn't wait to go their separate ways.
However, as always the truth is very different. 1969 is one of the most productive years in the bands history. Yes they work on solo projects, but they also collaborate on recordings for Apple artists and record another masterpiece in 'Abbey Road'.
In this weeks episode, Paul and Mark discuss how productive John, Paul, George and Ringo were during that final 12 months of the 1960's.
