Wojciech Mann mówi, że wydawanie co kilka lat wznowień płyt Beatlesów jest zagrywką nie fair, bo prawdziwy fan kupi każdą z nich. Zgadzam się z tym. Ale i nie zgadzam, bo każde kolejne wznowienie wnosi coś zupełnie nowego. Tak jakbym odkrywał muzykę, którą znam na pamięć od najmłodszych świadomych lat, całkiem na nowo. Trudno uznać, że to jest nie fair.  To, że „Biały Album” jest pozycją…

A somewhat less than happy scene... Allen Klein could have that effect on people.

The Beatles last public performance on the Apple rooftop by Ethan Russell.

“I could’ve fallen to my death, who knows. But I look at that film after the fact and I was kind of terrified myself. But I was one of the crowd at that point. There’s a film crew there because they’re making Let It Be. People disappear, but I don’t think film crews really disappear. Too big.

It is sort of extraordinary how iconic and important that moment has been. Everyone crawled up on the roof. You couldn’t see them. If you see the film, it’s just a camera pointing up at a building and some noise. But roughly speaking, thirty days earlier, the Beatles got together on a sound stage and they had no record. And then thirty days later, went up on top of a roof and performed it all the way through, basically without a mistake. Unbelievable.”
