PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:

The first story is the most timely: I’m recording this on Sunday, and a new performance of Paul McCartney was broadcast last night. It was from the Global Citizen event supporting the efforts in uniting to end the current crisis. Paul played a cool rendition of Lady Madonna, a clever choice compared to stalwarts like Let It Be or Hey Jude. … And co-host Jimmy Kimmel dropped a big truth bomb at the end of the song: I’ll take this opportunity to echo Paul’s support and praise of health care workers at this time. Thanks y’all.

Next up, a quick update on the new Get Back film project. If you’ve kept up with recent episodes of Beatles News, you know we’ve talked a lot about the new film. Check out the video linked at the top of the screen now if you need a recap.

So, Paul McCartney appeared on the Howard Stern show, calling in on April 14. The interview was fairly long and it’s mostly a love-fest from Stern, who threw plenty of softballs Paul’s way.

Don’t be surprised if the previously announced September date for a theatrical release gets pushed back due to the current crisis. An exclusive release on Disney Plus could be an option, but with the hype this project has already gotten from Apple Corps, I don’t think that would excite anyone.

Howard Stern’s channel here on YouTube has posted a few excerpts, and I’ve linked to them in the description below this video.

Next up - I want to note that we just marked the 50th anniversary of the public breakup of The Beatles…. And that’s all I have to say about that. (APOLLO 13 CLIP)

Alright, the next story is about something that doesn’t happen everyday: a brand new photo of the proto-Beatles band, The Quarrymen, has come to light. The image, from late 1959, shows John, Paul, and George - guitars in hand - in the Liverpool home of Mona Best, mother of Pete Best. While there are a few other photos from this era of the band, anything *new* from Beatles related events that took place 60 years ago is astounding. The good folks at Tracks Limited *tracked* down the photo and it sounds like it will be available for purchase in the future. Kudos to Mark Ashworth of the “There Are Places I Remember” blog for his ace detective work.

This episode of Beatles News has been pretty heavy on Paul McCartney, so here’s a new photo of Ringo Starr in a surgical mask. Nice.

OK, so back to Paul. His handwritten lyrics to “Hey Jude” have sold at auction for $910,000. Julien’s Auctions sold the piece to the winner after 16 bids. The initial estimate was low at around $170,000, but I don’t know if anyone expected it to near $1 million US dollars. This lyric sheet was used during the recording of the song at Trident Studios, London, in July 1968. Most super fans will already know that the song started out as “Hey Jules” as a note of support for Julian Lennon during his parent’s split, but the lyrics here - in final form - clearly show Hey Jude. I’d say this item is priceless, but it’s clearly not.

Well that’s about it for this one - there *were* a few other stories that I wanted to get to but didn’t have time for. I’ll save them for a future episode, so be sure to subscribe to the channel if you want to stay in the loop.

A reminder, check out my new Double A Side video - you should see a link on the top of your screen now. And I’ll close by saying: these are clearly crazy times that we’re livin’ in. I hope you and your loved ones *are* well and stay well. Thanks for watching. We’ll see y’all next time.
