Zoff bei den Rest-Beatles
Nur Eiapopeia? Pure Freude,
wieder zusammenzuarbeiten?
Nein, die drei überlebenden
Beatles haben sich auch ge-
gezofft, als sie ihre bald
erscheinenden Anthologie-CDs
zusammenstellten.
Es ging um das Lennon-Demo
"Free As A Bird", das die
Herren zur Single ergänzen
wollten. Paul McCartney be-
stand auf George Martin als
Produzenten, Harrison wollte
seinen Wilbury-Kumpel Jeff
Lynne. "Ich hatte Angst",
sagt Paul, "daß die beiden
sagen würden, 'wir machen's
so' - und ich wäre ganz
draußen."
Translation:

No, the three surviving Beatles also had
quarrels when they compiled their soon-to-be-

It's been about the Lennon-Demo "Free As A Bird"

Paul McCartney insisted in George Martin as producer,
Harrison wanted his Wilbury mate Jeff Lynne.
"I was afraid" says Paul, "of the others telling me
