Citando:

"As it turns out, the owner of that kit is Alan White, the famed drummer of the band Yes.

White and his wife Gigi were away on Spring Break with the grandkids when a group of thieves broke into their Newcastle home. Gigi says the place was ransacked.

“Literally looks like a tornado hit it,” said Gigi. “I didn’t expect them to completely destroy the interior of your home, which is what they did."."

1970: Phil Spector notes (admiration) for...

George Harrison?

Yes. Written notes, song by song. So interesting to read:

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/phil-spector-recording-notes-george-harrison/

Quoting:

"Harrison was anxious to work with Spector, having stockpiled nearly 30 songs for a solo album. And unlike The Beatles producer, Spector was overwhelmed by the maturity, the majesty and the diversity of the material presented to him. “It was endless,” Spector recalled. “He had literally hundreds of songs and each one was better than the rest. He had all this emotion built up when it was released to me”.

In written correspondence, Spector noted the “buried” vocals, the lack of “wailing sax”, not forgetting the trademark orchestral flourishes Spector was known for adding to pieces. What comes across most notably is Spector’s admiration for Harrison’s vocal prowess, perhaps feeling that he had been underserved by the albums in The Beatles canon."

George Harrison prank on Phil Collins

An account of a funny story I had already heard about, occurred on the occasion of remastering of the triple album "All Things Must Pass":

Quoting:

"Collins was devastated, to say the least.

A while later, Stewart calls Collins and puts Harrison on the line. "'Did you get the tape?' Harrison asked. "I now realize I was fired by a Beatle," Collins sighed. The two changed the subject, but a few minutes later, Harrison couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't worry, it was a piss-take. I got Ray Cooper to play really badly and we dubbed it on," Harrison admitted. "Thought you'd like it!" So, Harrison had an entire recording session with a conga player who he asked to play poorly, just to pull one over on Collins."
