    McCARTNEY HAD PLANNED TO REUNITE BEATLES

    McCARTNEY HAD PLANNED TO REUNITE BEATLES


    SIR PAUL McCARTNEY planned to reunite THE BEATLES a year before JOHN LENNON was murdered, according to a newly released record contract.

    In a 1979 deal with CBS Records, McCartney claimed he could again make music with Lennon, GEORGE HARRISON and RINGO STARR under the banner of The Beatles.

    Details of the $10.8 million (GBP6 million) contract have been released to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Lennon's death on 8 December 1980 later this week.

    An industry insider comments, "This is the earliest evidence of any Beatle making formal overtures towards a reunion."

    Lennon was shot by assassin MARK DAVID CHAPMAN outside his New York City apartment.

      Damn....that's amazing.

      What might have been....

      Of course...would Lennon have gone for it?

      As for George and Ringo....I've always seen them as "Michael Anthony" types...

          I knew the Beatles were planning on possibly reuniting back in 79 because I THOUGHT it was going to happen myself since it was all the buzz around the end of the year & made headlines in my local paper at the time but it never happened.

              yeah, and because of Yoko Oh No, there wasn't a 'next best thing' reunion with Julian Lennon, who not only sounds almost EXACTLY like his father, has the same guitar stylings too.

              Yoko Oh No wouldn't have allowed that because it's Cynthia's son, not hers.

              Sean Lennon has a shitty attitude, too. Had an album that came out in mid-late 90's, and some fans asked him to play some Beatles songs. His reply to them? "F*** OFF!"

                      I agree with you on Ringo but I think George had a better carreer outside the Beatles than inside.
                      He was the first to came out with a solo album and made some really good songs. In the Beatles he was like MA but outside he was a best music man.......just my oppinion

                          They would have done it I think, just to spite the STONES probably...

                              It naturally would've been HUGE.

                              But, we'll never know.

                                          True story..... in fact they had actually started to write for the album. Some of the songs Lennon was writing ended up on Double Fantasy.

                                          The band was even considering the title "Get Back" for the album, and Columbia was preparing promotional materials for what everyone there assumed would be a massive comeback.

                                          Here's a promotional poster made for the occasion........
