What do you think about the West End show about the Beatles “John, Paul, George, Ringo and… Bert”?
Well, we haven’t seen it, so it’s difficult to say. I am sure it’s good, but it’s just about a certain period; I think it’s a play which was put together from newspaper articles during the bad period when Allen Klein was in and there were business troubles. I think it’s entertaining, but I also think that it is a bit funny to do it when the people are still living. But it doesn’t matter.
Supposedly the one who plays Paul isn’t really anything like him; the one who is supposed to the most like any of them is the one who plays John, but it’s easy to portray John anyway…

The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After The Break-Up 1970-2001
"An updated edition of the best-seller. The story of what happened to the band members, their families and friends after the 1970 break-up is brought right up to date. A fascinating and meticulous piece of Beatles scholarship."
We owe a lot to Keith Badman for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles after the break-up and how their stories intertwined together!
The Beatles - The Dream is Over: Off The Record 2

Keith Badman unearths a treasury of Beatles sound bites and points-of-view, taken from the post break up years. Includes insights from Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Barbara Bach and many more.
