Meet The Beatles Episode #24 Revolver Side 2

I’m Looking Through You — Part 1This week on Revolution, Justin, Austin, and Tyler dig into Paul McCartney’s “I’m Looking Through You,” one of the great overlooked tracks from Rubber Soul.We explore the song’s connection to Paul’s increasingly strained relationship with Jane Asher, the surprisingly mature and direct lyrics, and how a catchy, upbeat recording disguises a song about realizing that someone you love has changed.We’ll also look at where the song fits into the remarkable creative leap The Beatles were making in 1965, Paul’s changing approach to songwriting, and the first version of “I’m Looking Through You” that The Beatles recorded — and ultimately abandoned.We’re not Beatles experts — just three fans digging into the music, history, and stories, seeing where they take us. And with Tyler experiencing much of the Beatles story with relatively fresh ears, there’s always a different perspective at the table.This is Part 1 of our deep dive into “I’m Looking Through You.”

This week on Classic Vinyl Podcast, Justin and Austin take a look at The Grass Roots and their 1969 hit “I’d Wait a Million Years.” We’ll dig into the story behind the song, the band’s rise during the late ’60s, and the polished mix of pop, rock, and soul that helped make The Grass Roots one of the era’s most recognizable hitmakers. Along the way, we’ll talk about the recording, the musicians behind it, and why “I’d Wait a Million Years” remains such a great snapshot of late-’60s pop-rock.

This week on Classic Vinyl Podcast, Justin and Tyler take a look at Chicago Transit Authority and their song “Beginnings.” We’ll dig into how Robert Lamm wrote the song, how it came together on the band’s 1969 debut album, and how Chicago’s mix of rock, jazz, soul, and horns helped give “Beginnings” its unmistakable sound. Along the way, we’ll talk about the early days of the band, the recording, and why this song still stands as one of the great examples of what made Chicago so different right from the start.

This week on Classic Vinyl Podcast, Justin and Tyler crank up one of the most unmistakable hard-rock anthems of the early ’70s: Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen.” We dig into the band behind the song, Leslie West’s massive guitar sound, Felix Pappalardi’s production and musicianship, and the cowbell-driven groove that helped turn the track into a rock-radio staple. We’ll also look at how “Mississippi Queen” came together, what made Mountain such an important bridge between late-’60s blues rock and the heavier sound of the 1970s, and why this short, explosive track still hits just as hard more than five decades later.
