The Final Year of The Beatles (1969) – Rare Photos & Timeline

I remember when I got the Red/Blue LPs, Xmas, 1973. I was struck by the photos on the covers, exactly in the same place, same pose, 6+ years apart. It was only in the last 10 years when I learned why they did it. And the foldout pic was taken on their ‚Mad Day Out‘ in 1968.
All the seeds of their dissolution are in the Get Back doc. 8 months later, John announced the end of the Beatles.
What is missing in that vid was the fact that Dick James sold Northern Songs to Lew Grade, and not the Beatles themselves in April. John was furious, saying he wasn‘t going to work for a bunch of suits.

Played "em" to death, but Abbey Road and Let It Be Naked are my favorites..

I knew someone who collected bootleg cassettes, circa late 70's early 80's. There were a lot of tracks that made it onto their Anthology CDs, and then in the Get Back trilogy. Outtakes, pisstakes, their Xmas messages.
One of the songs was Paul's 'Teddy Boy.' He started running through it, and John, bored to tears, starts 'Swing your partner do-si-do, when you've got it, let 'em know!' And on. It was funny actually seeing that in hi-res. When I'd heard it on cassette decades ago, I thought they'd recorded it at Twickenham. Nope. Saville Row basement. The album version of Get Back is in the basement as well, not the rooftop. You get to see Billy go at it with that solo.
