I’ve been writing about the Get Back sessions for 10 yrs, approaching it w/same attitude we’ll see in #TheBeatlesGetBack. I’m no filmmaker but am a writer/researcher & if you want to flesh it all - you should - visit theymaybeparted.com for that & beyond. It’s well-regarded! – at Cleveland, OH
So as you may or may not have seen, Paul recently said he was interested in adding his own bits to Prince’s version of the song 2/x ultimateclassicrock.com/paul…
“Also, what they did with that Beatles song ["Free As a Bird"], manipulating John Lennon’s voice to have him singing from across the grave... that’ll never happen to me. To prevent that kind of thing from happening is another reason why I want artistic control.” (4x/)
I’ve heard other versions of Prince covering TLAWR, but I didn’t hear this one before today. 1/x

Finally got around to reading the release on the Beatles Story and found this important tidbit about the 3 Savile Row timing, which I don't think we knew before:
"forthcoming attraction at 3 Savile Row in London, which is due to open at the end of 2027."

We all know John Lennon threw up during a TV interview after a night taking heroin with Yoko. Here’s the rest of the story, a massive deep dive into the before, during & after (into the 80s), what Get Back got wrong & more!
Happy anniversary to our dear Abbey Road LP, 57 years young today and sounding as magnificent as it did on its first needle-drop Sept. 26, 1969. Usual shameless promo: Catch up on Abbey Road’s extensive roots in the Beatles’ Get Back sessions here: theymaybeparted.com/tag/abbe…
