Ringo Starr: Well, did you like it?
Elvis: You bet! Except for one thing - you gotta lose that fat, bald, unattractive guy who plays the horn.
John Lennon: But he's a good friend!
Elvis: Listen, Lennon, you gotta remember - it's a business first.
Ringo Starr: That's what I said.
Paul McCartney: Quiet, Ringo! Elvis is talking!
Elvis: You gotta lose him. So now which one of yous here's the leader?
Paul McCartney: I'm the leader.
Elvis: Well then, you're gonna have to tell him.
Paul McCartney: [ retracting ] Oh, the "leeeeader"! Oh, well.. John's the "leeeeader"!
George Harrison: It has to be done, John. It's up to you.
John Lennon: [ pauses, then sighs ] Alright, I'll do it. [ other Beatles get up to leave ]
Paul McCartney: Good for you, John!
George Harrison: Good luck, John!
Paul McCartney: Good luck, John.
Ringo Starr: [ presents a drum to John ] Here, John, take this. It's me lucky drum. [ John accepts and puts it aside ]
Elvis: Here he comes. I'll be right back here in case you need me. [ he goes into a hidden corner, off-camera, as Goldman returns ]
Albert Goldman: [ impatiently ] Well, now.. where is everybody? We have another set in five minutes! I told everyone to be here to rehearse "She Loves You, Wah Wah Wah."
John Lennon: Actually, Albert, there's no reason to rehearse.
Albert Goldman: [ surprised ] Oh really, Mr. Layabout? Did you hear the same set that I heard? Audience not liking, Beatles dying!
John Lennon: I hate to say this, Albert, but.. you're out of the group.
Albert Goldman: [ crestfallen ] What?
John Lennon: Please don't be upset, it's hard enough as it is.
Albert Goldman: I just don't get it. Is it because I'm bald and fat?
John Lennon: No.
Albert Goldman: Then why? Whose idea was this?
John Lennon: Everybody's. Paul, George, Ringo, me..
Elvis: [ coming out of hiding ] And me.
Albert Goldman: [ does a double take in disbelief ] Elvis?!
Elvis: That's right, son. You got no talent, you look bad. Get out of the business.
Albert Goldman: Well, you've got some nerve!
Elvis: And another thing - you oughtta watch your weight. Clean up your act, stay away from that junk food. Remembe - you are what you eat.
John Lennon: Sorry, Albert.
Albert Goldman: [ angry ] You think it's so easy, don't you? "Sorry, Albert, no hard feelings!" Well, I've got news for you, Mr. Presley, and you, too, Mr. Lennon! I'll get my revenge! Maybe not soon.. maybe not for some time, because I'm a little scared of you. But some day, I'll be back! [ shouts hysterically ] I'll be back! [ storms out of the room ] I'll be back! [ an echoing, sinister laugh is heard after he leaves. Elvis and John look on ]
Elvis: There goes the grace of God.
John Lennon: It's a real shame.
Elvis: Come on, let's go get some health food. [ he and John exit out the doorway ]
[ screen fades out of the flashback, back to Goldman and the press ]
Albert Goldman: Well, that's my story.
Reporter: So what ever happened to Elvis?
Albert Goldman: Oh, well, he became a big.. [a sullen look suddenly appears on his face as he realizes the reporter's intention ] Who asked that question?! [ Reporters laugh hysterically ] I'll get you!!!
[ fade to black ]

Goldman: The Fifth Beatle
Albert Goldman.....Phil Hartman John Lennon.....Matthew Broderick Paul McCartney.....Dana Carvey George Harrison.....Dennis Miller Ringo Starr.....Jon Lovitz Elvis.....Kevin Nealon Roadie......Tom Davis
[ open on a series of press publications regarding Albert Goldman's biography of John Lennon - cut to Goldman speaking to the press ]
Albert Goldman: And I'm telling you, it's all true.
Reporters: Mr. Goldman! Mr. Goldman!
First Reporter: What about the allegations that you lied?
Second Reporter: Many sources say you misquoted them.
Third Reporter: It almost seems like you had a personal grudge against John Lennon.
Albert Goldman: [ sarcastically ] Oh, alright.. I lied, print it. Albert Goldman is a liar! [ seriously ] I had to do it! Don't you understand! After what they did to me?
Reporters: What? Did what to you?
Albert Goldman: [ reminiscing ] It all started 25 years ago, back in Liverpool. [ screen ripples, prompting a flashback, but returns to normal ] It was a long time ago.. [ screen ripples again, but still goes nowhere ] Oh, concentrate harder, for goodness sake!
[ screen finally goes into a flashback, fading to black-and-white, outside a nightclub, with superimposed title: "The Cavern, Liverpool, 1963." Cut to inside the Cavern, where a young audience waits for the Beatles to arrive on stage. ]
Announcer: And now, ladies and gentleman, it's time for our next act. Please give them a big Cavern welcome: John, Paul, George, Albert Goldman and Ringo, the five Beatles!
[ The Beatles enter onto the stage amidst enthusiastic screams from onlookers ]
Paul McCartney: [ giving the cue ] One two three four! [ band breaks into a rendition of "I Saw Her Standing There," and the crowd goes wild ]
[ singing ]
"She was just seventeen, and you know what I mean, And the way she looked was way beyond compare, I'd never danced with another, ooh! When I saw her standing there."
[ after the verse, Goldman breaks into a trombone solo, which brings a silence to the room. The music dallies off and Goldman is left hanging on an out-of-tune note. Screams suddenly return with the next verse ]
Paul McCartney: "Well we danced through the night, and we held each other tight, And before too long, I fell in love with her, I'll never dance with another, ooh! When I saw her standing there, When I saw her standing there."
[ band ends on another note by Goldman, and again the audience turns silent, after which the Beatles leave the stage unenthusiastically ]
Announcer: The five Beatles! John, Paul, George, Albert Goldman and Ringo!
[ cut to backstage - Albert Goldman still looks the same as in the present, and speaks in a distinct American accent ]
Albert Goldman: [ irritated ] Where were you guys on that cue? I mean, come on, please, meet me halfway!
John Lennon: Sorry, Albert.
Albert Goldman: Actions, not words, fellas, comprende? Eh, Ringo? Alright, I gotta go grab some stuff. Nobody touch my horn! [ puts the horn aside and exits ]
Paul McCartney: I think we've got to talk about Albert.
George Harrison: Yeah, he's a real problem.
Paul McCartney: Yeah, John.
John Lennon: Now fellas, fellas.. come on, fellas, he's a nice guy.
Paul McCartney: Come on, John, don't be daft. He's a real drag!
George Harrison: Yeah, he just doesn't fit in somehow.
John Lennon: Look fellas, we're the only friends he's got; we should show him some compassion. Besides his parents were nice enough to buy these amplifiers for us. Least we could do is be supportive.
Paul McCartney: Ringo, what's your opinion?
Ringo Starr: [ uptight ] Oh listen, I don't know.. whatever you fellas think. I mean, I'm just happy to be here.
John Lennon: No really, Ringo, tell us what you think.
Ringo Starr: [ hesitating ] Well.. alright then. Well, I think there are several points to consider. For one thing, we must remember this is a business first, and two, if people in the band are unhappy, it will affect the performance, and three, this is a crucial stage in our development, and I think..
Paul McCartney: Alright, alright, Ringo! I think that's enough!
Ringo Starr: Well, whatever you guys think. I'm just happy to be here.
John Lennon: I just don't see why you fellas don't like him. I mean, he's never had a nasty word for anyone.
[ a Roadie appears at the doorway ]
Roadie: Hello lads, you've got a visitor!
[ Elvis enters ]
Elvis: Hello everybody!
Beatles: Elvis!
Paul McCartney: Elvis, we're your biggest fans!
John Lennon: What are you doing here, Elvis?
Elvis: I was doin' two movies across the street and I heard your music, and it set my feet a-tappin'! Thought I'd come over to do some investigatin'!

Не знаю как там японцы, но американцы и в правду люди туповатые. Как-то раз был свидетелем того, как одна американка рассказывала о своем визите в Лондон и ее спросили - ну как там Биг Бен. Вот ее ответ - Oh he's great, he's very tall! |

Док, ты невероятно помог своим эмоциональным экспромтом - один экземлпяр уже ушел! Не перевелись еще настоящие битломаны на земле русской! Если еще будут отклики, то лучше всего слать их на пейджер - 974-2222 (абонент 89332). Рабочий день, понимаешь, заканчивается (как-никак скоро 9)! Док, ты - просто супер человечище!! Заходи - в твоем распоряжении "флигель и яхта"!

И это тоже. С другой стороны меня поражает с каким упорством люди (при чем часто одни и те же) каждую неделю обсуждают кто, какая песня, альбом и т.д. лучшая-худшая и пр. чуть глодки друг другу не перегрызают, при этом (опять же судя по их репликам) не имея ни малейшего понятия об истории создания песен, которые они обсуждают, ничего! И самое удручающее, что им по-видимому этого и не надо! |

> Is there something that we are still missing? > I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK EVEN THE STUFF IN THE VAN WITH GERRY MARSDEN > ASKING HIS WAY TO THE GOLF COUSE IS IN THERE NOW, PLUS THE HOTEL ROOM WITH ' > NEVER ON A SUNDAY' PLAYING, WHILE JULIAN CRIES, AND JOHN AND PAUL SHOUT, > INAUDIBLY AT THE MIKE!
What was that (the hotel room stuff), don`t think we heard that yet. BTW, it must have been incredible difficult to figure out what the content actually was about, including dating. Did you do the research? Did you get help from Alf or Lewishon?
> > Whom/Where did the tapes end up with? > TWO SOLD ON THE DAY, THE OTHERS LATER.
But those were just copies of the original tape, if I understood you right (see above).
> Did you hear all the tapes through? > YES, I FOUND THE CONTENT BY LISTENING TO THEM ALL.
Glad you did!
> Was it 5 tapes? > YES. > Which kind, length, running order, tracklist, > > dating?
> I HAVE TO CHECK MY NOTES, THIS IS GETTING HEAVY!
I would greatly appriciate, if you would do the job and go back to your notes! Oh, please, please do it!
> What did Alf have to say about those tapes/content/story? > YOU COULD READ THE BOOK, WHICH IS FACTION!
You mean the diary? I received it from you earlier, but never read it through, as it was such an obvious construction - I would rather have read the actual interviews you did with him. (sorry for dissmissing the original concept, but I was never in it for making something more "consumeable" for the price of "remixing" accurate historical info.)
> READ THE NEWSPAPER CUTTINGS! BUT DO NEWSPAPERS EVER TELL THE TRUTH?
Sure! ;) - and also I wouldn`t know where to start digging in the archive.
> > WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MORE?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Personal note: I rather get fouled once in a while, than to run around with a suspicios mind and a misanthrope (as that english?) attitude!
> THAT'S ALL IN THE PAST, LET'S ALL GET ON WITH OUR LIVES NOW. > I WISH ALF WELL IN ALL HE DOES!
Also, I guess my "questions" concerning your feeling nowadays towards the whole thing have been fully answered and this part of the issue cleared up. (still won`t delete the paragraph, now that it`s written)
Again a BIG THANK YOU to you for this posting and not to forget also to this group/the moderator for this great forum - I love it!
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS, LOVE AND PEACE GARRY MARSH
Прошу прощения за такое длинное послание.

Wait a second - do I understand you right? The originals weren`t even auctioned off, but just tape copies you made of them? So the originals are still in Alf`s possesion? Would there be such an big difference in sound quality? Then I`d guess, someone approached Alf for this release...(or at least his garage)
> THOUGH I MUST POINT OUT THAT NEITHER MYSELF, ALF, NOR SOTHERBYS HAD ANYTHING > TO DO WITH THAT!
Oh well, and if, so what? (Apple laywers? oh, ok, got it)
> HONEST GOVENOR! > REALLY!
Yes, yes I believe it!
> IN FACT WHEN ALF COMPLAINED TO ME, I COMPLAINED TO SOTHERBYS, AND TWO OF THE > ACTUAL TAPES I PROVIDED WERE RETURNED TO ME, HAVING BEEN FOUND AT THE BACK > OF THE 'TAPE DRAWER'!
So the tapes haven`t even yet been sold and already the boots appeared, and this is, what Alf complained about, did I get you right here? And those very tapes (the 3 yet unsold ones, I guess) you then refetched from Sothebys, where they have been misfiled? Sorry for asking so much, but beside being really interested I`m not a native speaker, so I want to get it right.
> > So, I know you had some working relationship with Alf (that has gone bad > for legal matters). > I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL BEING 'RIPPED-OFF' FOR YOUR COPYRIGHT! > READ ALL ABOUT IT IN 'THE DEED OF SETTLEMENT'!
I did read it before, it makes sense to me, that you feel ripped-off, amazingly you don`t use your anger to foulmouth Alf big-time, which made me read between the lines, that Alf is also a victim of sorts (on a lesser degree - and not in a finacial one), falling for unfair "advisors" and his and their greed maybe. Or that you are not a type for moaning the past, breeding rage and swearing revenge. Was some time ago, since I read it, I admit, so I might remember the sub-tone wrong, forgive me for going blah, blah without rereading.
> Was it then when you found the tapes? > NO, ALF HAD THE TAPES, AROUND 22 IN ALL, SMALL REEL TO REEL ONES, ABOUT 25 > HOURS WORTH!
22 tapes containing 25 hours makes roughly one hour a tape. If there were 5 (full?) tapes of Beatles content (? again), that made their way out, there must be still a lot unheard material left in the hands of some collectors.
> MAINLY PERSONAL MESSAGES FROM FANS. YOU KNOW THE KIND OF THING: > 'HI JOHN MY NAME'S MARIE, AND I' SITTING AT HOME RIGHT NOW IN MY BEDROOM, > AND MY MOM AND DAD HAVE GONE OUT, AND YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF YOU > WERE HERE WITH ME?'
Yeah, tell us all about it, Marie!
> REALLY, ALF SHOULD RELEASE THOSE TAPES!
Do you think he would/could?
> > I guess Alf would have played them to you > NO, HE NEVER PLAYED ANY OF THEM, EVER! > HE THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL MESSAGES FROM FANS. > THEY HUNG IN A PLASTIC CARRIER BAG, IN HIS GARAGE (GARAGE TAPES!) FOR 22 > YEARS, UNTIL HE ASKED ME TO HAVE A LISTEN IN CASE THERE WAS ANYTHING USEFUL > FOR THE BOOK!
How lucky, he kept them at all, considering how "much" he must have thought of them.
> - now can we have some > > details on that? > I FOUND JOHNS 'IF I FELL' ON FEB 9TH 1989! > I HAD TO FIND AN OLD PLAYER AND SIT THROUGH LOTS OF FAN STUFF! > I BELIEVE I IDENTIFIED ALL THE BEATLES STUFF THERE. > I THEN CONTACTED MARK (LEWISOHN), AND THEN SOTHERBYS ETC.
What did Mark have to say?
> THE FIRST TIME ALF HEARD ANY OF THE TAPES WAS ON THE WAY DOWN TO A PRESS > THINGY AT SOTHERBYS, 3RD AUGUST 1989.
He really wasn`t that terribly interested in them it seems.
> THEY WENT UNDER THE HAMMER ON 22ND AUGUST 1989. > > JUST BEFORE THE AUCTION ALF CALLED ME TO A PRIVATE MEETING IN WHITCHURCH, > WHERE HE TOLD ME THAT HE WANTEDTO CHANGE OUR GENTLEMANS AGREEMENT FROM 50/50 > TO 66/33 IN HIS FAVOUR WHEN IT CAME TO THE TAPES. > I DIDN'T ARGUE, I WAS, AND STILL AM, A GENTLEMAN!
Explains what I was musing about above and kind of confirms my "suspicion".
