Unclear creative direction, bizarre experimentation, and a rudderless band of twenty-somethings. Sounds like the making of a half-baked album by a bunch of nobodies, right? ...Not quite.

In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake break down the White Album, a legendary record by the most popular band of all time. Following Brian Epstein's death The Beatles had to steer their own ship, and things got rocky very quickly.

Paul tried to take charge. George got tired of being overlooked. John was entirely preoccupied with Yoko Ono. And Ringo straight up quit.

But while the White Album could be dismissed as an unfocused hodgepodge, it became something way more interesting: a real-time snapshot of four brilliant musicians evolving into separate artists.

If you've ever wondered how one album could contain Blackbird, Helter Skelter, Revolution 9, and so much more beautiful chaos, this episode tells the story behind every crack.
