This is going a bit off-topic, but if Mark Lewisohn's biog is anything like his other books, it'll end in 1970 (I'm guessing here, though reading Peter Doggett's book shows that The Beatles' story didn't end until around 1976, and even then they went and got back together in 1994).
YNGMYM goes from just before the split and details all the business miseries they went through. Nobody really comes out of it looking good, though you can kind of see their motivations. Essentially they were too young and inexperienced to ever be heads of a multinational business, and before he ...

Thanks, skye – if the Queen-Mother-of-all-Beatles-Books doesn't properly detail the topic in You Never Give Me Your Money, I'll be sure to give it a read.

And, yeah – creepy is right!

Time for skye to eat her words-

On page 269 of You Never Give Me Your Money, Doggett quotes Douglas as saying that he erased the tape because it was creepy. I don't see 'divorcing Yoko' as a creepy subject, but at least I can say with some confidence that there was a tape!

There's something funny about your saying you are eating your words and then looking over at your avatar. It made me chuckle anyway.

Are you really enjoying the book? I've been thinking about getting it, but I am holding off on buying any more ...

If I were in John or Yoko's Geta sandals, I wouldn't want my dirty laundry aired either.

LOL! (About the sandals)

Not that I'm interested in what those comments were--I'll give JD the benefit of the doubt, he knew and worked with JL, I didn't--but Goldman's swill would be the last source I'd look to for anything resembling the truth. The guy wasn't a writer, he was a cockroach. Lots of reasons to dislike his take on John Lennon/Yoko Ono, but obviously he knew that there was a huge audience of people who despise Yoko Ono and thrive on further negativity about her. So, of course the erased material would address that, in Goldman's cynical mind. If he could've gotten someone ...

Douglas didn't Destroy the tape the next day
He probably found it years later and destroyed it then.
BTW, I hate this feeling of obligation the fans feel with the artist,
Every song a band recorded doesn't belong to us
We don't deserve to hear a song we may want to hear
We are lucky every time the Beatles or anyone else releases an album.

I'm sorry skye but you are reading too much into this. This interview is not contributing anything to the question posed in this thread, not that it was not good to see this (it was new to me) but imho, we are where we were before.

Does anyone have a copy of the Goldmine interview and can confirm that the quote is in fact in there?

There you have it. He was too concerned about his friend to worry about what history would think of the John Lennon's last recorded words.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but do take the time to watch it. Jack Douglas interviewed on the day after John Lennon was shot.

In his most recent interview, he said that he and Yoko had a private memorial in the studio, just listening to all of the recordings John made there. What could have John said that night that would be so radically different from everything else? And for the life of me, I can't find a quote of Jack saying he erased it - just fans saying they read it some where... I'm starting to think it's a false memory.
