Anybody hear anything about a newly-revealed taped Apple meeting
from September 1969 that’s been public knowledge since the 1970s?
You will now, with the return of journalist/writer Ray Connolly.
Ray was tight in The Beatles’ orbit during their final years; with
John and Paul especially. He was the only one outside their inner
circle to learn that John had “quit” the group – his bio of John,
Being John Lennon: A Restless Life, is now out in paperback, as is
his indispensable collection, The Ray Connolly Beatles Archive.
Last: his novella, ‘Sorry, Boys, You Failed The Audition’ is
newly-published. It’s a work of “alternative history” and has been
presented as a BBC
radio play.
Ray and I discuss the end of The Beatles and their relationships
going forward, as well as his ‘Sorry Boys’ project.
