|||||
 |
Major
topics in John Lennon's interview include his relationship
with Yoko Ono, his peace activism, The Beatles' business
affairs (a portion of his statement about Brian Epstein's
management is on Anthology 1), the nature of God, and the
band's break-up and whether they would reunite musically. |
||||
| SIDE 2 | |||||
 |
Among
Paul McCartney's topics are fatherhood, his favourite songs
from Abbey Road, why The Beatles appeared at only one Royal
Variety Performance, and the composition of "Golden
Slumbers". Shortly after his interview, McCartney met with
the other Beatles to decide whether Allen Klein or Lee
Eastman would handle the group's affairs. Having failed to
persuade the other Beatles to choose Eastman, McCartney
"stormed out of the meeting, resigning from the Apple board" |
||||
| SIDE 3 |
|||||
 |
George
Harrison discusses the spiritual side of his life, including
his seeming destiny to be a Beatle, Hare Krishna,
meditation, drug use, and whether it is possible for The
Beatles to split up. He also discusses business—the British
government's anti-monopoly policies and high taxation, and
the difference in radio offerings between the United Kingdom
and the United States—and his Abbey Road favourites. |
||||
| SIDE 4 | |||||
 |
Ringo
Starr's first interview took place while he was heading to a
medical examination required for insurance in anticipation
of his work in The Magic Christian. Starr discusses The
Beatles' feelings for one another, the band's break-up, how
he has spent his money, the ups and downs of fame (such as
being photographed and asked for autographs), reincarnation,
and vegetarianism. |
