Slow Down

Baby, whatcha trying to do? In this episode of Looking Through The Glass Onion, Billy and Jay tackle their first Beatle cover song. Hidden within the layers of this track is the incredible story of Larry Williams, who wrote a string of 50s smash hits, three of which were covered by The Beatles. A cover song from their days in Hamburg, Slowdown was recorded in a brisk 30 minutes at Abbey Road studios June 1, 1964. That’s right, 30 minutes. After listening to the song, you can hear it the mistakes scattered throughout this catchy Beatles single.

We have a new layer of the onion that you’ll love - Billy and Jay pick the gear that they’d take from the session. Yeah, that’s right, we’ve introduced a time machine into our discussion. Find out what else we uncovered on our deep dive and find out why this one may get the lowest ratings from Billy and Jay yet.
