Bowling for Soup’s Rob Felicetti on When We Were Young 2023, Twenty Years of ‘A Hangover You Don’t Deserve’ and More I think Paul Cole was telling tales, his story seems to indicate that he has only seen the one photo that most people have seen, the actual Abbey Road cover. There’s no museum in that part of Abbey Road. The police van was a late arrival to the photo session, as evidenced by the previous photos, so Paul Cole can’t have had such a conversation with the driver prior to the Beatles arriving at the scene. And the “mystery man” can be seen in several photos. Paul Cole was just someone who knew three things about the cover: The LP is looking to be a joke, for it is a bit of a cliff hanger. I would have liked to have seen it out there three months ago and now I don’t even remember making it.” Giles Martin: There isn’t one. There isn’t one, really. I mean, that’s the thing about the Beatles, and one thing that’s revealing about what’s in the footage in the film footage, Let It Be is a lot about John and Paul trying to rekindle their songwriting romance. However, you do definitely get the sense that the band are very much, as much as they can be, in a sort of diplomatic situation where there were democratic votes.

It seems a pity that we are not shown at least one song in its early stages of composition. This might have given us a genuine insight into the way the Beatles work. … I never once had the feeling that we were witnessing the creative process at work, or sharing in the mysterious, painful rituals of music-making. Giles Martin: Yeah. Yes, it’s in the film, and if there was no visual for it, I’d definitely put it in, but there is and the visual is great. So the same people that are gonna be interested in having the full rooftop performance would probably just rather see it than hear it, and the mix will be my mix, anyway, in the film. So the rooftop performance is in the film and concerts always sound much better when you can see them. As can be seen from the artwork, there are gaps around the “Beatles”, and other marks that were later fixed by the in-house artists. The film is a bore. … Shot without any design, clumsily edited, defeatedly titled ‘A Feature Film,’ uninformative, awkward and naive. It would have destroyed a lesser group. How could 200,000 feet of film have produced nothing but an extended promotional exercise? When the Beatles stopped touring in the summer of 1966, Mal became more of a personal assistant to the four musicians, arranging the instruments at sessions and carefully noting down lyrics as the songwriters dictated them.During a break for sandwiches Harrison played the Buddy Holly song ‘Well… Alright’, followed by another version of ‘All Things Must Pass’. After the show — moved at whatever level, either as participants or deep fans — we somehow cried,” recalled Wenner.

Working on this project has been a joyous discovery. I've been privileged to be a fly on the wall while the greatest band of all time works, plays and creates masterpieces. I'm thrilled that Disney have stepped up as our distributor. There's no one better to have our movie seen by the greatest number of people." One of several London buses and a taxi appears. Paul has left his sandals by now. “Mystery man” is there, but now he has moved further away from his position in frame 2. He shares the pavement this time with a lady in a red sweater, looking directly at the camera. It surprised me that he didn’t know the lyrics so well. But I couldn’t stand there holding the lyrics because on the left hand side of John was George and on the right hand side was Paul and I knew the cameras were rolling, so I couldn’t stand in front of George and I couldn’t stand in front of Paul so the only thing to do was to kneel and just pretend to pretend to be a music stand. [laughs] What a Beatle wants, a Beatle gets. Alongside Mal Evans, Harrington worked as assistant for the Beatles on the albums they made in 1968-69. As you’ll see, the white VW Beetle is at the exact spot where it remained in the actual album cover and outtakes. Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn said in a series of lectures called “Hornsey Road” in 2019 that the owner had parked the Beetle there, and then gone on holiday! So it remained there for several days. According to Lewisohn, the test shoot was done the day before The Beatles’ own photo session. THE WEATHER John and Yoko joined Rolling Stone chief Jann Wenner and his wife, Jane, for a showing Let It Be at a sparsely attended theater in San Francisco in the early part of June 1970.

Towards the end of the recording sessions I was asked, along with Steve Brendell, to meet on a Sunday morning at EMI Studios. Iain Macmillan, the photographer, wanted to take a few shots of four people walking across the zebra crossing outside the studio on Abbey Road to show the boys what the album cover idea would look like. To make up the foursome, two studio porters were drafted in as well. I know a photo exists of the four of us but I am not in a position to publish it.”

However, without the lifeline of The Beatles and Apple, the work dried up for Mal Evans and things began to unravel. He split from his wife Lily in 1973 and he moved to Los Angeles, where he was involved in the chaotic recording of Keith Moon's solo album, Two Sides Of The Moon. Just walloping away at his bass, singing to himself. George yawns a bit while he does it, because you imagine he sees this sort of thing a lot. Living among the bad influence of these party animals and heavy substance abusers, Evans claimed he was working on a memoir called Living The Beatles Legend, which was to be the ultimate insider's story of the group.Giles Martin: My assumptions like everyone else’s was that Let It Be was their breakup album. Not really knowing much about it, that’s what I presumed. My dad was never happy with the Let It Be experience because they didn’t want to do any production on it. And he said he was getting fired to a certain degree. I suppose he was when Phil Spector took over his job. I wasn’t aware until we did the Abbey Road project that they started recording “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” just a week after they did the rooftop performance. This modern day photo ought to be sufficient evidence that all those rumors about the Abbey Road zebra crossing having been moved since the sixties is just someone’s imagination. Or bad research. The streetlight pole has been moved further away from the crossing, though. I didn’t know that “Across the Universe” was recorded completely separately from everything else. I didn’t know that “I Me Mine” was done at Abbey Road and was the last thing the Beatles recorded. So the album in that sense is kind of a hodgepodge of different kinds of processes. And so you say, “How do we make this sound more like a record, a finished record, as opposed to something that is contentious?” And so you change your outlook slightly. Most of the Beatles fans bemoaning that not a lot of this stuff on this box set [laughing] already have copies of it anyway. And so quite often, I think about what should we put on here that people haven’t heard before that’s good quality and you want to listen to more than once. I think that’s important.

They cost 1 pound more than the standard edition, and were only available from HMV record shops in the UK. For the next several months, a clear pattern emerged: The release of the album was delayed because the movie was hung up.

LA Multi-Instrumentalist Reed Walsh Readying ‘Two for Blues’ Album, ft. Vocalist/Guitarist Jon Pileggi (Streaming 10/31) So that in itself proves it wasn’t really a breakup album. The story is much simpler than that in many ways and that’s the fact that Let It Be is a misguided concept they planned for the New Year after having a break from doing The White Album. May 3, 1969: “This film … somebody’s editing that at the moment. It’s sixty-eight hours, and they’re trying to get it down to five for several TV specials. Or then, it might be a movie.

It’s about as far away from today as the release of Let It Be was from the Treaty of Versailles. It’s a relative eternity.
