Beatles ’84 pt2

from Yesterday and Today

As winter thaws to spring in 1984, a fresh batch of singles plucked from John Lennon's posthumous Milk & Honey LP are released on Polydor Records. Stepping Out and Borrowed Time saw some diminishing returns from the previous singles and LP release, but no one could deny the cold comfort of new John Lennon music back on the charts. Producer Jack Douglas found himself victorious in the court case against Yoko Ono over payments and royalties associated with the sessions which produced those tracks - and with that ruling, the final chapter in the Double Fantasy saga drew to a close. McCartney, meanwhile, was in the process of fulfilling a childhood dream - the development of a new Rupert the Bear animated short which would feature new music and soundtrack (not to mention voice acting!) from Paul himself. Rupert and the Frog Song is now scheduled to debut in theaters, ahead of the new McCartney film on the way... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
