I agree.....and recently his son Dhani Harrison produced a remixed and expanded edition of the album. All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary Edition:- https://www.georgeharrison.com/atmp50/
Ringo's 'it don't come easy' was a Harrison production. You can see why Lennon & McCartney might have wanted to suppress his talent.
I have been watching the new 'Get back' film, now out on a triple DVD, and you can see in the film Harrison previews some of his songs to Lennon & McCartney during the Let it Be/Abbey Road sessions, that eventually ended up on his solo 'All Things Must Pass' triple LP album ....as well as him producing, writing and co-writing several hit records for Ringo's early solo career. https://hmv.com/store/film-tv/blu-ray/t ... s-get-back
I watched the first part of that opus, never bothered with the second & third instalment. I can see how it would interest Beatles obsessives, but GOD! I thought it was boring
A fly on the wall documentary where you actually felt like a fly on the wall.

Not everybody’s cup chai I know but I thought it was great to see these three cars back together in London for the first time in a very long time where they spent their time back in the 60s, first time IN LONDON, I know they were together at Goodwood in 2019. Stars of an otherwise quiet show! THEY decided they didn’t want them displayed with Fred’s Lennon replica and security around the cars was very tight indeed, a full time security guard and also a lady patrolling them at all times meant that literally nobody got a close look but it was lovely to spend time chatting about them with Steve B on Saturday, who also made it up to the stage to talk about them. Very unusual occasion that I can’t see happening again.
I can understand the security because I took Minty, Simon J took his works car and John had 732 HOP there which were all being prodded and poked all weekend, several attempts to get in them aswell!
Pity on the Fred Lennon replica. I do wish the Harrison car had the right wheels, number plates, bumper under corner bars etc - not hard to do and it would make a massive difference!

In all fairness, that's the only car still in the ownership of the family. Surely in this case it is what it is.
I bet the Lennon replica would have drawn more interest than the others individually as a part built car and collectively it would have made for a more interesting display.
Agree the Harrison car is what it is but could be made so much better especially with some period changes.

When this car was fitted with its original Cosmic RW10's (with SP44's for some weird reason) did they just stick way out on the front? or was the Carlos Fandango look, addressed in some other way?

Hi folks, I'm just picking up this thread. In 1977 I was tootling around in my 68 mk2 Cooper and I always wanted an S. I was a poor student. I responded to an ad in the paper. (remember them?). It was a dark evening in Malahide and in a back yard was this black mk1 S that had had an engine fire. It had wind up windows and fly windows and huge seats like from a Jag. The guy said it was John Lennons car. He was looking for mad money so I didn't go for it. I have since heard that the same car is here in Dublin somewhere having been restored. Hope this helps. Doug.

And he’ll be the dozenth person to claim he’s got the Lennon Mini, which was a hatchback, something most claimants haven’t been aware of!
The Beatles - Now And Then (Official Music Video)
"Now and Then's eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocal from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles. This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opxhh9Oh3rg

Oh, does it.
I thought it was just a case of shamelessly cashing in on stuff that went onto the cutting room floor years ago because it didn't make the grade.
"The Beatles" haven't recorded ANY "new material" since 1970 & to suggest that they have done so after 2 of the members are dead, one for over 40 years is frankly ridiculous!

Well the Rolling Stones who have also released 'Hackney Diamonds', only have 2 original band members, 2 of their members are dead, one for over 50 years and one retired from the band back in 1992...
But the Beatles and the Rolling Stones music has stood the test of time over several generations...even their stuff from the 'cutting room' floor...and I don't think any of them are in need of shamelessly cashing in. Not sure if/how bands 'cash in' these days, as I seem to be able to play most newly released tracks on you tube, etc without paying for a download or buying a CD, cassete or vinyl record like we did in the 'old days'. It seems the majority of an artist's revenue comes from touring these days unlike in the past when it was record sales. Keith Richards has confirmed that The Rolling Stones are planning to hit the road in 2024 in support of their first album of original material in 18 years and meanwhile Paul McCartney is currently touring Australia.
Each to their own, but the Beatles split up in 1970 & never worked together again. Whereas the Stones, all be it with some different members have a continuous history. If Lennon & McCartney had worked together consistently since the 60's, I wouldn't be making the original point that I did.
I like all the Beatles original albums, but all 3 cash in singles released since the 90's have in my opinion been very poor & not up to the high standard of the stuff released in period.
