Ta for the compliment.
Here's my understanding:
During the Beatle years, Mal Evans had made his own film of many events, public and private, involving the Four. After they'd broken up, it was mooted (not by the Beatles, but others within the circle) that this film, along with other footage (media, etc) might be made into a wonderful documentary of the phenomenon.
Rumors that was about to happen would surface every now and then over the years, and then subside. I remember George (I think) saying that it would probably be very interesting to watch, but he couldn't see it happening.
One rumor was that the Beatles would do a soundtrack for it. Another was that they would do a set of nostalgic songs about those years. And a concert. And on and on. So many rumors.
I honestly think you've latched onto one of these fictitious rumors, Charlie. Your evidence for John having signed a contract (essentially reforming the Beatles) is that there was an article in an industry publication that said that an entertainment lawyer claimed that ...
You can mock my scepticism, but I'll take that over gullibility.
maria your spelling atrociously correct.you don't have to beat people down all the time.on another note when was bill sargent trying to reunite them???????????paul did see john a few odd times in 76 and 79.rumours can start very easily.it doesn't take much.there is a recording or two that is preported to be from one of these meets.one tune is stand by me and the other escapes me now.but it sounds like it could be them.but my "could" could stem from the fact i wanted them to regroup too.i did not veiw my wish as selfish but it is.if they wanted to be together they would......

So Charlie, basically you admit your case is weak. Just your assertions, basically.
All the rest is you trying to put a brave face on it.
Not at all.
I admit I don't happen to have proof at hand. Therefore you are free to believe it or not.
My "case" as you call it is not weak at all. It IS fact.
I reported something known to others beyond myself that fit the criteria of the thread. Whether YOU ever heard of it or not doesn't particularly mean anything in the real world.
Some free advice: self-appointed Beatle experts should always retain an element of humility. At some point in time you'll need it.

Best quote i've read in some time! Just when I think I know a decent amount of information, I come snooping around here and get kicked to the curb again and I like it. Its always a pleasure learning! Anyhow,,,,Well said!

JOHN LENNON LEGALLY SUPPORTS "THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD PROJECT"
"According to Keith Badman's Book Entitled: "The Beatles After The Breakup: 1970-1980", just shortly before the fateful day of December 8, John Lennon submitted the following sworn deposition against the producers of "Beatlemania" citing his personal interest regarding his future plans to involve himself with a Beatles documentary "The Long And Winding Road" (later renamed as: "The Anthology" as suggest by George Harrison) along with a reunion concert as a tie-in to that project:
Keith Badman reports that on Friday November 28, 1980
"As part of a legal deposition for Apple Corps against the producers of the 'Beatlemania' stage show, John states today that: 'I and the three other former Beatles have plans to stage a reunion concert', an event to be filmed and included as the finale to The Long and Winding Road, an official Beatles produced documentary to be released in the mid-Eighties. (John's deposition will not be made public until the case is settled on June 4, 1986-see entry)." ---

Louise Harrison has "publically confirmed" at the Ottawa Beatle Convention that her brother did discuss the details to her in 1970 and that all "four Beatles agreed in 1969" to do one last project - a "documentary" to tell their own "musical legacy" - which is why John Lennon went to the courts and filed his deposition. Lennon knew full-well of the project.
Here is what Neil Aspinall had to say about the Anthology project from Mojo Magazine: "In '69, in all the chaos, the traumas -- things were falling apart but they were still making Abbey Road -- Paul called me saying, "You should collect as much of the material that's out there, get it together before it disappears." So I started to do that, got in touch with all the TV stations around the world," "checked what we had in our own library, like Let It Be, Magical Mystery Tour, the promo clips, what have you. Got newsreel footage in, lots and lots of stuff."
Lennon positioned himself in court to protect his musical legacy so that one day he could tell his side the story to take form in a Beatles "Anthology".
I have retracted the final line of my post as on second glance, it looks like a provocation and it does not add particularly to the discussion. My appologies.
I am still of the opinion that it would have been more likely that Lennon, Harrison and Starr would have sooner collaborated than McCartney, Harrison and Starr.

Any further opinion on this would be appreciated.
Fairly obvious since it was the three against one deal during buisness negotiations towards the end (Ringo could have probably cared less). George and John had some spats, but nothing as bad as the feelings they had towards Paul!
