Johnnie Walker talks to Beatles biographer Richard White about his new book 'Come Together' which tells the story of Lennon and McCartney in the Seventies.

'Come Together' offers a new perspective on the personal relationship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney in the decade following the breakup of The Beatles, unveiling a more positive version of events than the one we've become familiar with.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the BBC archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
