2021-12: Ray Dagg the policeman who...

... Shut up The Beatles.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ray-dagg-i-was-the-19-year-old-police-officer-who-silenced-the-beatles-mmxl9f2s7

Quoting:

"Ray Dagg is not a name associated with iconic cultural moments, but it ought to be. As a Metropolitan police constable he ended the Beatles’ final live performance, on a London roof.

Now he is the unlikely star of a new wave of Beatlemania, powered by the release of a documentary of the band working on Let It Be, their last studio album to be released."

Quoting:

"A native of London’s Chelsea neighborhood, Dagg has been inundated with Facebook friend requests and calls for interviews. An American Reddit member even painted him in watercolor, The Times reports.

His threat to arrest the band and their manager was a “bluff,” he told the outlet, adding he doesn’t regret his role in rock history.

“Well, at that time, I didn’t know that they would never play together again,” Dagg said. “At least there’s something on a film somewhere that will forever show that PC Ray Dagg shut down the Beatles."

2021-11: The ostracized George?

 ... Hum... Yes.

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/peter-jacksons-the-beatles-get-back-will-show-ostracized-george-harrison.html/

Quoting:

"“The strain of ‘Let It Be’ was actually the strain that [John and Paul] put on George and Ringo by trying to force themselves together, and the strain of doing a live show with no songs in two-and-a-half weeks’ time. What I can get [from the outtakes] is that George was being ostracised slightly during ‘Let It Be.’

“Because he had all these songs [which eventually became his sprawling 1970 solo album ‘All Things Must Pass’] but you hear John refer to him as ‘Harrisongs’ – he’s got his own publishing deal and he’s come as a songwriter. It’s like, ‘Oh – we should give George a song.’

“At this stage, George was writing way more than John was. I think John had some sort of writers’ block – he doesn’t have a huge amount of songs on ‘Let It Be.’ I think the attention [John and Paul] were giving one another – almost like they were trying to rekindle their relationship – ostracised George, to a certain degree.”"

Citando:

"I was thinking, is this going to really spoil my view of the Beatles? Am I going to see them squabbling with each other and argue? Am I going to see the dark side of the Beatles?" Jackson rhetorically asked Wertheim. "You can only watch something in real time… there's 57 hours it takes to watch it all. And so, I was just waiting. But as it as it went on and on, I was getting more and more confident that this is not going happen."

Jackson then did something he said he had never done before. The decorated filmmaker asked to have the job of producing the new documentary. 

For many Beatles' fans, the album and film "Let it Be" are tethered to the band's breakup. Jackson found the 22 days' worth of footage depicts four friends collaborating and called it "an incredibly amazing historical document of the Beatles at work." "

The set was first released in 1970 as the final studio effort from the band, and also doubled as the soundtrack to the documentary film of the same name. The album spent four weeks atop the Billboard 200 (June 13 – July 4, 1970-dated charts) and is one of a record 19 No.1 albums for the group."

2021-01: Phil Spector (producer) dies at 80

The man of the "wall of soud", producer of Let it be (the non-naked version), George Harrison's "All Things must Pass" and some other John Lennon records (and that allegedly put a gun against his head) died at 80:

Phil Spector, Famed Producer Convicted of Murder, Dead at 80 - Rolling Stone

Quoting: 

"Spector returned to the music world in 1969. A new Ronettes single, “You Came, You Saw, You Conquered,” flopped, but that same year he also released Sonny Charles and the Checkmates’ “Black Pearl,” a Number 13 hit. Now securely back in the production saddle, Spector hooked up with the Beatles. He produced John Lennon’s solo hit “Instant Karma!” and was given the task of creating an album out of the group’s abandoned Get Back sessions. The result was the Beatles final studio album, Let It Be.

Some of Spector’s critics, including Paul McCartney, were unimpressed with his string-heavy treatment of tracks such as “The Long and Winding Road.” But McCartney’s bandmates were happier with Spector’s work. George Harrison not only asked Spector to produce his triple-album, All Things Must Pass, but Lennon brought him on to co-produce The Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, albums that had an uncharacteristically spare sound for Spector. Fittingly, Lennon also had Spector, the creator of the greatest rock Christmas album of all time, produce his single “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).”

2019-02: As discussões em Let it be

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6658955/Beatles-war-truth-explosive-rivalries-tore-band-apart.html

Citando:
"We'll be faced with a crisis,' Paul frets.

'When I'm up against the wall, Paul, you'll find me at my best. I think I've got Sunday off,' says John.

'I hope you can deliver.'

'I hope was a little rock and roller, Sammy with his mammy,' mocks John, falling into word play.

There was nothing more that Paul could say.

'I think we've been very negative since Mr Epstein passed away,' Paul reflected, probably to director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, unaware that he was being recorded. 'We probably do need a central daddy figure to say, 'Come on. It's nine o'clock. Leave the girls at home.' '

But John wasn't going to leave his new girl at home. So, Paul was walking on eggshells, acutely aware of what might happen if he, or the others, complained too loudly.

'There are only two things to do,' we hear him reasoning. 'One is to fight and to get The Beatles back to being four people without Yoko, and to ask her to sit down at board meetings. The other is just to accept that she's there, because there is no way that John is going to split with Yoko for our sakes. He's going overboard. He always goes overboard.

'If it came to the push between Yoko and The Beatles it would be John for Yoko. John would just say to us: 'Okay. I'll see you then.' And we're not wanting that to happen.'"

2017-10-11: Alan Parsons fala de George Martin e do Let it Be

http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/862547/alan-parsons-project-eye-in-the-sky-the-beatles-pink-floyd

Citando:
"He is the go-to producer for established artists who crave his authentic, warm and detailed sound on their recordings.

This is no surprise given that he learned his trade under the tutelage of the late, great Sir George Martin.

He is famous for his deft influence on the sound of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon and The Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be albums. 

Parsons and his songwriting partner Eric Woolfson achieved major success in the own right with The Alan Parsons Project, selling more than 60 million albums.

And with the 35th-anniversary release of The Alan Parsons Project seminal album Eye In The Sky, Parsons grants Express.co.uk a rare and exclusive interview."

Citando:
"The 2000 WGBH miniseries Communism: The Promise and the Reality features a brief clip of this mysterious video, although unfortunately not much information about it is supplied. It pops up in “People Power,” the final part of the six-part series, about 14 minutes in (you can check it out below). After discussing the strong demand in the USSR for banned western goods such as blue jeans, the voiceover says, “But occasionally the authorities made an effort to cater to the tastes of the new generation….” and we get to see the start of the video. They translate the opening lines thus:

Everything’s happened before in the world
 People are always the same
 That’s how it was, it is, and always will be


 Apparently the religiously tinged references to “Mother Mary” were also expunged, which can’t be too surprising"
