Lost Beatles Interview to Air After 44 Years
LONDON, England (AP) -- The British Broadcasting Corp. will air a long-lost Beatles interview featuring John Lennon and Paul McCartney talking about the day they met and their songwriting partnership.The precious film sat forgotten for 44 years in a garage in south London until film fan Richard Jeffs realized a piece of pop history was contained inside.
Experts were surprised to find the audio portion still usable for radio broadcast.
The nine-minute interview was recorded at the Scottish Television studios in April 1964 during the early days of Beatlemania. The interview with the two Beatles will be broadcast for the first time on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday and repeated later this week.
On the tape, Lennon tells how he was playing with a skiffle band outside Liverpool when McCartney introduced himself.

This is the fist I am hearing of this.
Sadly, I have missed hearing this.
AWESOME! I want to hear it! There must be a way to find it online somewhere. I love the pic too...it says something to me about their relationship, even when they were starting out and worked closely togehter, I don't think they were ever good friends...what do you think?
Layla - Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, but I think when starting out Lennon was always sort of the older brother figure, and for obvious reasons, because he was older. I think they got along pretty well though, at least until things started to get pretty ugly right before they broke up. I mean, they always shared credit for writing songs that they each wrote. It's really something special to be willing to share credit with someone else when you wrote the song.
