Vinnie B Trask Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 I didnt realize how much George threw his opinions around Lennon and McCartney..George was right mo9st of the time. Also Paul was crying when Harrison left and Lennon didn't show on the Monday they were supposed to film. He cheered up when Lennon changed his mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 The other remarkable thing is how prolific Paul was in ‘68/‘69 — every day coming in with newly-written classic Beatles songs. So incredible! Writing “Get Back” on the fly because John was late. Coming in one morning, sitting at the piano, and having “Let It Be,” “The Long And Winding Road,” “Another Day” “Golden Slumbers” and “Carry That Weight.” Unreal. Surreal. Prolific. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul was a classic songwriting machine at the time. It should be noted that Lennon was holding back some of his better ideas for a possible solo LP not yet know to the other 3. The let it Be sessions led to the introduction of songs that appeared on Abbey Road as well as solo albums, Lennon had "Truth" mostly written Paul had Another day and Teddy Boy and George has All things must pass, While Lennon and Harrison made songwriting contributions..Paul carried the Beatles from mid 1968 and on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Having said that Harrison wrote some of the best songs The Beatles ever recorded from 1968 to 1970, I Me Mine Something Here Comes the Sun Old Brown Shoe and My Guitar Gently Weeps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it incredible how Paul at this particular moment in time was literally—and almost magically—pulling classic Beatles-tunes out of thin air. His creative output was astonishing! John had two songs. George had many more than that, but lacked the confidence to push them over the finish line. But Paul. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Paul was absolutely hitting his stride...The Abbey Road medley, You Never Give Me Your Money, Come And Get It, Oh Darling, Amazed, Every Night, besides Let It Be, Long And Winding Road and Get Back and throw in Two Of Us just for the hell of it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Lew did you see "Get Back?" In the first episode, Paul is noodling at the piano. Mal Evans comes over and asks what he's working on, and Paul plays unfinished versions of “Let It Be,” “The Long And Winding Road,” “Another Day” “Golden Slumbers” and “Carry That Weight.” 😮 Also rather cool that Mal (and Ringo) give Paul suggestions for lyrics as he hunts for lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yea, Bern, I saw it...Let It Be was pouring out of him...Then he’s coming to the studio early, to cut a demo for Come And Get It and doing run through of Oh Darling while Lennon was still in bed... One of the most telling moments was when he says to Lennon “Can you write a song or two at some point?...Lennon’s only contributions were Across The Universe(great song) written and given away two years before that, One After 909, written 10 years earlier, Dig It, which is stupid and the only two fresh worthwhile tunes...Don’t Let Me Down and I Dig A Pony...

Raspbernie Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Cool. Nice to see Zak Starkey. He keeps a pretty low profile and doesn't do too many interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Saw this entry from George Harrison's Diary in "Get Back" the day he "quit" The Beatles. Did some digging and discovered something I have never heard before. In George's diary he notes that "in the evening did King of Fuh at Trident Studio." For a good laugh...take a listen to this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Apparently Capitol wouldn't distribute it and radio stations wouldn't play it. So, Apple only pressed 1,000 copies. One of them sold at Sotheby's for a couple thousand not long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
