my neighbor's secret outtakes!


My neighbor was editor Tony Lenny's assistant on this and many other movies. Last night he called me into his apartment and showed me some outtakes from "Let it Be" on 16mm film. The image and sound was a little rough, but it was most certainly the Beatles circa early 1969. All in all, there was over an hour of great outtakes including -

1. a hilarious "bucket of water on a slightly open door" gag on Yoko
2. Ringo cutting his toenails!
3. several spit-takes with tea
4. George Martin drunk, yelling at all of them
5. John and Paul arm wrestling
6. George singing "Monster Mash"

I'd love to have a copy of that as well. I do have a copy of The Beatles Outtakes I purchased from eBay, but it does not contain any of the outtakes you mentioned in your post. Thank you. :-)

What does this involve!? Is it out-takes from Let it Be? would you please let me know what's in it and if it's worth getting!? Thanks, Gary.

reply

George singing "Monster Mash"?! Holy crap, that'd make my day!
I have the bootleg dvd at home and there's not much footage on it! *yelling at the sky*

My way of seeing this is that unless you're nuts and have a LOT of money, you can't get everything that exists on the Beatles, sad but true....oh well! ;)

He gave them to me in his will. What should I do with them? My enemy says "burn 'em!".

The Monster Mash was far superior than Sgt Pepper.

reply

You should put them on dvd, that would be totally rad dude :)

I have wrestled with my thoughts over what to do with these rare outtakes and I have made a decision. I am going to sell them to Apple Corps and get rich as hell!!! See you in Rio!!!!

I've got outakes where Peter Sellers stops by and he and John talk about that "grass I gave you at Picadilly Square" and Peter responds "Oh yeah, that really blew my mind"

It also has some jams with Yoko that, aside from her squealing, are actually kinda cool.

They also work on George's All Things Must Pass. Really cool when John joins in.

I love "All Things Must Pass." Especially after I found out that it's really a concept album based on the digestive system. "Behind That Locked Door"....need I say more?

whatever happened to these outtakes being released? he was probably lieing

The sale of my neighbor's secret outtakes from "Let it Be" to Apple Corps has been postponed.

I was on my way to London, with the outtakes in my carry-on bag when a thought occured to me - "Do people need to see this footage of the Beatles? Isn't there enough already?" Soon after that I nodded off and dreamed about piles and piles of English money.

I arrived in London and took the "tube" to Apple Corps. I sat patiently in the waiting room and considered reading the magazine on the coffee table. When the Public Affairs President of Apple entered the room I was shocked. He was completely nude.

Was it wrong of me to leave? I haven't heard from them since.

Get it transferred to dvd at a local place like walgreens (they'll do it quick, cheap and well) and then put it online for everyone to enjoy :)

Don't fool people.

I'm afraid I'm not really able to believe this, but just imagining it has really made my day. Especially no. 1!

reply

Yeah, this guy is obviously lying. With the beatles being upset at each other, and arguing all the time, I don't think that hi-jinks with a bucket of water over a door seems rational.

reply

This thread is entirely twisted, both literally and optically.
