Hey Apple Scruffs,
White Album Special # 2 ...and I must admit it was a gas from where I sat. Not only did we hear the whole "double album" in it's entirety but rare Mono tracks, acetates, demo's, Anthology versions, plus everything that was left off the album to boot...(and I use that term lightly)... Another highlight was a quick phone~in interview with former Apple Corps. head honcho, Beatle book author and "best man" of John & Yoko... Peter Brown. NEXT WEEK all George Harrisong's from 8AM until 1PM...post YOUR requests on this message board..or send me an email at > .......


See ya ....ROCK'N'ROLL,

Your Host
