Thanks for listening to this episode of Secret Sonics! Unlike most episodes of the podcast, in this episode, Jacob and I sat down in my living room, listened to a revolutionary record (on vinyl!) and had a conversation about how it was made and how it influenced our industry and culture. I hope you enjoyed this deep dive on the record "Revolver." As always, look out for new episodes weekly.
Jacob Gorensteyn is a musician, audio engineer and vinyl addict based out of Bet Shemesh, Israel.
