Giles Martin Talks Beatles 'Rubber Soul' Box, Lost Lennon Demo in New Billboard Interview

Fresh details on the upcoming Rubber Soul Deluxe Edition releases from Giles Martin in Billboard today. Snippets: “Little Girl” was discovered in the Beatles’ vault, along with an early version of the “Day Tripper”/”We Can Work It Out” single that was released concurrent with the Rubber Soul album, in 1965. “It was found during the process,” Giles Martin, son of the late Beatles producer George Martin, tells Billboard via Zoom from Abbey Road Studios in London. Martin, who worked with his father on the impressionistic soundtrack for the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show Love in 2006, has become the main steward of Beatles’ archival projects, including audio portions of Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary and deluxe reissue packages for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles (aka The White Album), Let It Be, Abbey Road, Revolver and more. “When we do these projects we cast a net over a period of time and really look for everything,” Martin explains. “’Little Girl’ comes from ...

The Beatles' rooftop concert audio is now streaming

The complete audio from The Beatles' famed "rooftop" concert is now available to hearing on streaming services . The full performance, disappointingly/ridiculously, wasn't included on last year's Let it Be Super Deluxe set and, in Peter Jackson's "The Beatles: Get Back" film, it was interrupted throughout by "man on the street" interviews with people hearing the music below. So, this is the first opportunity, aside from bootlegs, to hear the entire performance uninterrupted. Hopefully, we'll see vinyl and CD releases of this soon, too. Giles Martin, who produced the Let it Be box, told Rolling Stone: “We wanted to put it on the box set,” Giles Martin tells Rolling Stone in an exclusive interview. “But it just took up too much real estate. It’s 40 minutes, so it didn’t make any sense. But the response to Get Back has been so extraordinary.” “I always thought the rooftop concert is better to be seen and listened to, rather than just li...

Jane Asher Says She Won't Be Watching the Beatles Biopics

Jane Asher, in a new interview, says she has no plans to watch the upcoming quartet of Beatles biopics by director Sam Mendes. Asher has spoken very little about the Beatles and her engagement to Paul McCartney since splitting from Paul in 1968. From the interview : Asher said that the filmmakers “approached me about it, of course, but I said my usual”, referring to how she no longer speaks about her relationship with McCartney. When asked how she felt about [Actress Lucy] Boynton playing her, she told The Telegraph: “Well, of course, Lucy is beautiful. But I won’t watch the films, otherwise everyone will ask me what I thought.” She also said that she “decided years ago” that she would no longer answer questions about her engagement to McCartney, adding: “People would offer me money to talk about it, all sorts of things. But I won’t discuss it. It was so long ago.” Asher went on to marry illustrator Gerald Scarfe in 1981, with the couple welcoming three children.
