Born To Walk Posted August 4 I think he means a necessary evil in order to extend the copyright on them by 20 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Born To Walk Posted August 4 Interesting to see what happens with Get Back / Let It Be. As those sessions are also 50 years old the sound recordings will be out of copyright next year and fair game for a flood of unofficial releases if there's no official release.

A great amount of the videos from those sessions have been turned over to Peter Jackson for a "new" documentary. I would expect the majority of the Let It Be film to appear if Paul gets off his high horse and lets it come out. Probably in conjunction with the demos/remastering. https://www.npr.org/2019/01/30/689961544/peter-jackson-to-direct-documentary-on-the-beatles-recording-let-it-be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Born To Walk Posted August 8 Bet the locals loved this. If you're ever in London, the battle between tourists and motorists for use of the road is the best free show in town. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the imposter Posted September 11 In September 1969 the Beatles were planning a new album... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/sep/11/the-beatles-break-up-mark-lewisohn-abbey-road-hornsey-road Fascinating stuff.. ........we hear John suggesting that each of them should bring in songs as candidates for the single. He also proposes a new formula for assembling their next album: four songs apiece from Paul, George and himself, and two from Ringo – “If he wants them.” John refers to “the Lennon-and-McCartney myth”, clearly indicating that the authorship of their songs, hitherto presented to the public as a sacrosanct partnership, should at last be individually credited. Then Paul – sounding, shall we say, relaxed – responds to the news that George now has equal standing as a composer with John and himself by muttering something mildly provocative. “I thought until this album that George’s songs weren’t that good,” he says, which is a pretty double-edged compliment since the earlier compositions he’s implicitly disparaging include Taxman and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. There’s a nettled rejoinder from George: “That’s a matter of taste. All down the line, people have liked my songs.” John reacts by telling Paul that nobody else in the group “dug” his Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, a song they’ve just recorded for Abbey Road, and that it might be a good idea if he gave songs of that kind – which, John suggests, he probably didn’t even dig himself – to outside artists in whom he had an interest, such as Mary Hopkin, the Welsh folk singer. “I recorded it,” a drowsy Paul says, “because I liked it.” 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
