Did Paul Envy John's Relationships With George & Ringo...
Davisk
John and the way George and Ringo gravitated to John and his recording
sessions during the years after The Beatles' breakup? The three of them
really got along well together, but I don't ever recall hearing about Paul
hanging with Ringo or George until after John's death.
Also, was 'Give My Regards To Broadstreet' the first time that Paul and
Ringo played in the studio together on a song, or did they record together
on 'All Those Years Ago' (I thought that song featured each surviving Beatle
playing his part separately at different times). And what about the first
time that Paul played with George in the studio after the Beatles' break-up?
Was it on 'FAAB'?
Thanks for any replies.

You have to keep in mind that after the breakup, Paul was in very bad odor
with his former bandmates. After all, he did file a lawsuit against them.
It was to be expected that he would be isolated from them. Just as it was
to be expected that Ringo, John, and George would feel a certain unity
against Paul.

Ringo first played with Paul after the breakup during the "Ringo" LP
sessions in summer 1973. Assuming that Paul and George were never together
in the studio during the "Ringo" sessions, then yes, I guess the FAAB
sessions would be the first time for the two of them....unless it was during
the "All Those Years Ago" sessions. It certainly wasn't any earlier than
that.

Also, Ringo's drumming on the track was taken from the July 1980 recording of
Ringo's unreleased version of the song.

Wow! I didn't know that.

And George realy hated Paul's guts when the Beatles Broke up.. George and John
really tried to bash him.. Ringo became the Peace keeper..
Paul and George din't record together until George decided to record All Those
Years Ago.. And even then he saud Paul was too bossy, and the stress left the
room when he left..George wanted to tribute John, and The song was meant to be
for RIngo, but Goerge kept it.. He invited Paul to play on the track, and it's
said that He was actually the Walrus in the When We Was Faab Video.. George
said that in a radio interview..
A little Reunion took place when Ringo put out the album RINGO.. That's about
as close as you'll get to having a New Beatle album.. All of the Beatles helped
Ringo Throughout his career.. They Always donated songs to him..
Paul even helped him out financially when Ringo went bust in the early 80's..
Ringo and Barbara became alcoholics, and RIngo wanted to sell his share of the
Beatles.. Paul bailed him out, with the agreement that Ringo would side with
him in any dispute with Yoko, and George.. That's when Paul & Ringo did
Broadstreet....

>George and John really tried to bash him
George and John turned on each other a few years later. They never saw each
other again after some acrimonious meetings when Apple was dissolved in
December 1974. In 1983, George said that he never met Sean.
>He was actually the Walrus in the When We Was Faab Video
Paul agreed to appear in that video, but backed out of it because he was
jealous of the unexpected success of George's "Cloud Nine." That was the same
reason Paul boycotted the Beatles' induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of
Fame in January 1988. Paul was viewed as a has been when "Press to Play"
bombed in 1986. On the other hand, George's "Cloud Nine" tore up the charts a
year later. George didn't acknowledge Paul at a European video awards ceremony
in Rome on February 14, 1988. The Quiet Beatle explained his behavior that day
to a reporter for the Sun by saying "Paul is a bit too moody for me."
>Paul bailed him out, with the agreement that Ringo would side with
>him in any dispute with Yoko, and George.. That's when Paul & Ringo did
Broadstreet....
That dispute didn't occur until after "Give My Regards to Broad Street" came
out. In December 1984, Capitol Records announced that Paul earned more
royalties off Beatle records than the others due to a deal Paul cut in the 70's
to stay with the label. On February 28, 1985, George, Ringo and Yoko sued
Paul. Paul complained to Geoffrey Giuliano in 1986 that "Ringo is always
asking for a handout" and GG then sold the tape to Spy magazine!
Ironically, there was another lawsuit at the same time where Paul, George and
Ringo were on the same side against Capitol after Yoko gave Michael Jackson and
Capitol Records permission to sell "Revolution" to Nike to be used in a
commercial. Leonard Marx was the lawyer for the victorious plaintiffs in both
cases.

That brings to three the total number of times in his career that Ringo
spent all his money and nearly went bankrupt, in this case spending much of
it on booze and drugs....like a hillbilly who wins the lottery.

I know, right?
Seriously, "The Lawsuits of the Beatles" could be a HUGE book if someone would
care to write it. Hell, I'd probably commit suicide from depression trying to
write it.

lawsuit, or at least the last 2/3's of the book were.
