Rolling Stone:
More Deny Beatles Reunion Studio owner, engineer pour cold water on tape
Three days after an Internet auction site began offering what it claims is an erased tape of a secret 1976 Beatles reunion, the owner of the Los Angeles studio in which the band allegedly convened called the reunion "pop urban legend." "No sessions of this type ever took place at Davlen Sound Studios," said Len Kovner in a statement sent to Rolling Stone. "The tape box being offered for sale, does not say 'The Beatles' on it or inside of it, anywhere. The box was most likely retrieved from a trash bin at or nearby the Los Angeles studio facility, probably in the early Eighties." Kovner said that although all the band's members had recorded at the studio at various points during the Seventies and Eighties, no session ever featured all four. The tape is being offered on momentsintime.com. Site curator Gary J. Zimet claimed he got verification from Kovner that the sessions took place, but Kovner said he has been debunking the "secret session" myth for more than twenty years. Zimet said the tape was "bulk erased" by the members of the Beatles, who split up in 1970, after the sessions ended in an argument. The tape is being sold along with a list of five songs, "Happy Feeling, "Back Home," "Rockin' Once Again," "People of the Third World" and a cover of the pop standard "Little Girl." Beatles spokesperson Geoff Baker called talk of the alleged reunion "bollocks" and said he had never heard of any of the songs or of any reunion. Zimet stood by his story, claiming that Kovner is "so deathly afraid of Paul McCartney and that is why he's lying. There is no question whatsoever that this took place." As further proof of the veracity of his claims, Zimet said longtime Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick had confirmed for him that the tapes were legit. On Monday, however, Emerick told Rolling Stone, "I have no recollection of these sessions ever taking place." |

Rolling Stone: Apple: Beatles Tape "Bollocks" Band spokesperson says 1976 reunion didn't happen The Internet site momentsintime.com is auctioning an erased tape from what it claims was a secret Beatles reunion. The acetate, which features five hand-written song titles, is alleged to have been recorded at Los Angeles' Davlen Studios on November 2, 1976. The site's curator, Gary J. Zimet -- who is also currently offering the copy of Double Fantasy John Lennon signed for his killer, Marc David Chapman, for $525,000 -- says that Davlen owner Len Kovner told him that the session ended in an argument, after which the members stormed out. He also said that Beatles producer George Martin was present. The songs listed on the tape are "Happy Feeling," "Back Home," "Rockin' Once Again," "People of the Third World" and "Little Girl." Zimet says it was erased "at the Beatles' insistence to try to keep secret the fact that this session ever took place" and that the unerased version is in the vaults at Abbey Road. Beatles/Apple Records spokesperson Geoff Baker scoffs at the claims: "The whole thing is bollocks. What reunion? What tape? I've never heard of these songs, and I've never heard of any reunion." Bruce Spizer, author of several books on the Beatles, also doubts the session ever took place. "I've never come across anything to indicate that the four of them and George Martin walked into a studio at any time," Spizer said. "What are the odds of them coming together and no one finding out or reporting on it? If something like this happened, it would have leaked out at some point." Zimet says Kovner is reluctant to talk publicly about the reunion because he fears reprisals from Paul McCartney. "I think it would prove embarrassing to him," Zimet said of McCartney. "He's a control freak and he doesn't want it known that the Beatles got back together and that it ended in failure." Kovner did not return phone calls by press time. Zimet says he has received word of yet another Beatles reunion session that took place in Bermuda shortly after the alleged Los Angeles one and that he is trying to obtain those tapes.

Rolling Stone: Beatles Credit Feud Continues McCartney's name removed from "Peace" The ongoing songwriting credit battle between Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney was recently rekindled when Ono once again left the former Beatles' name off the song "Give Peace a Chance." First released by the Plastic Ono Band in 1969, "Give Peace a Chance" appears on the new DVD Lennon Legend, and, as per the arrangement the songwriting duo reached forty years ago, it was previously credited to both men, despite Lennon being its sole author. The credits to "Give Peace a Chance" have been in contention for decades. On the 1975 Lennon compilation Shaved Fish, the song was credited to Lennon/McCartney, but when the original Legend CD was released in 1997, McCartney's name was dropped, as it was on the 1998 John Lennon Anthology box set. The exclusion of McCartney's name in 1997 and 1998 might have simply been an oversight, according to a spokesperson for Sony/ATV, which holds the song's publishing rights. "The change to listing it as solely a Lennon composition came within the past two or three years," the source said, without elaborating on who or what instigated the change. As far as the performing rights organization ASCAP is considered, though, the song is still a Lennon/McCartney composition. "We have to be advised if the split is changed, which would be a good thing for us to know," an ASCAP representative said, noting that the performance royalties for the song are still split evenly until the organization is advised otherwise. Last December, McCartney flipped the traditional Lennon/McCartney credits on nineteen Beatles songs on his live album, Back in the U.S. to read "Paul McCartney and John Lennon." At the time, McCartney said he rearranged the names only on the songs that he wrote without Lennon. Ono's lawyer, Peter Shukat, told Rolling Stone at the time, "What he did was absolutely inappropriate. John and Paul had an agreement. This is very petty." Ono added, "John and Paul often disagreed on which songs were written by whom. If John was here now, they could fight it out, or maybe they could never agree. But the important point is that John has to be here. He is not." McCartney's contract with Capitol Records gives him control over the way songs are credited on his solo works, but credits on the Beatles' Apple Records have to be approved by the surviving band members or their estates. McCartney previously flipped the credit on five Beatles songs included on his 1976 Wings Over America live album. The dual credit on "Give Peace a Chance" was Lennon's thank you to McCartney for his help on the sessions for the Lennon song "The Ballad of John and Yoko," according to Bruce Spizer, author of this year's The Beatles on Apple Records. Spizer says the subsequent credit change may have been a reaction to McCartney's flips on his live album. "When Paul did his own things with Wings and when he flipped the credit on that solo album recently I'm sure Yoko felt the same rules applied to John's solo material," Spizer said. "Paul had nothing to do with the song, so perhaps her feeling was that he got a free ride all these years and it was no longer required to list it as Lennon/McCartney. That might be why you haven't heard anything from him on this." After last year's squabble with Ono, McCartney agreed not to change any more credits in the future, which paved the way for the recent release of the Let It Be ... Naked reissue. Beatles spokesperson Geoff Baker had no comment on the "Give Peace a Chance" attribution, and Ono could not be reached at press time. |

Yoko Ono Flies High Yoko Ono is everywhere: in dance clubs, in art galleries and even on the spine of an indie rock album. Her music -- thanks to remixes by the Pet Shop Boys, Danny Tenaglia, Felix Da Housecat, Orange Factory and others -- is turning on the ears, and feet, of a new generation. Ono recently watched a crowd in a New York club dancing to her music, and she requested a mike so she could add some live orgasmic moans to the track's recorded ones -- not something the average seventy-year-old does at 3 a.m.
In the last week, Ono has debuted two more remixes, "Will I" and "Fly," as well as a DVD of rare and unseen footage of late husband John Lennon she compiled. And her artistic life is currently as frenetic as her musical life. One exhibit, "Odyssey of a Cockroach," is on at New York's Deitch Projects; and she recently approved a musical based on Lennon's songs that will be coming to Broadway. Last month, after nearly forty years, Ono recreated "Cut Piece" in Paris. She sat on a chair onstage at the Ranelagh Theater as each of the 200 members of the audience cut off her clothes until she was in her lingerie.
And when the California rock band Beulah wanted the title of their new album to denote love, change and artistry, they came up with Yoko.
When you first did "Cut Piece" thirty-seven years ago, it was considered very cutting edge.
In those days I was expressing my emotional turbulence and anger, and I was communicating just with a small group of people -- mostly artists and intellectuals. And now it's anybody. It's a wider audience. I did it with love for the world and you and me. If you can carry some feeling of love for each other, that's very important.
Isn't love the hardest emotion to draw out of a stranger?
No, I don't think so. I think it's the easiest emotion. Life is so beautiful that it's hard not to love it.
What inspires you?
I really don't know. I get inspired by anything. Newton found an incredible thing from a drop of an apple.
In some lights art is viewed as passive, but you've long worked for peace, a physical job, because you must persuade governments, persuade people and change philosophies.
Well, how do you persuade people? I mean, you can go in front of the White House and just kind of bang the doors and say, "You better do what I'm telling you to do." Or you could be writing something in the newspaper. There are many ways of doing it, and I'm not using just one way. Art is an expression and that is a way to communicate the importance of the idea of world peace.
Beulah singer Miles Kurosky said, "Yoko had to be the title since the record is about love, my growth as an artist, and the changes I've been going through as a human being. I wanted to make a more mature, confident and daring artistic statement. The word 'Yoko' says it all: change, progress and risk."
He's very eloquent. I really blessed Beulah, because they're going back to being real. Beulah are starting to do something on a different level. It's very close to the kind of writing that was done in the Sixties. It's good, and it's coming back.
When "Open Your Box" came out in the U.K. in 1971, it was banned. Now, it's a huge dance hit.
I'm very thankful that that happened within my lifetime. I'm experiencing it with a sense of wonderment.
What do you think the difference is?
The main difference is the usual difference: step by step we're getting wiser, all of us together.
What were you thinking when you heard the first remixes of your music?
When I first heard "Open Your Box" by Orange Factory, I just started crying. It was so beautiful that somebody understood my work so well.
Why do you think the dance genre is so open to your music?
It comes naturally to me. I'm one person who's really mad about dancing. I love it.
Some of your music -- "Open Your Box" and "Yang Yang" for example -- is very sexual and some it is very graphic. Do you think people are more open to that now?
Definitely. It's to celebrate life. Life is sex, and sex is love.
