I too would like to listen to this segment. Can you upload the audio?
Thanks
Can we get the MP of the interview!?
Where is the "listen" tab for us to listen to the interview w/ Peter Asher?
Perhaps Peter Asher was visiting a Beatles recording session, as I was under the impression that P&G recordings were produced by someone other than George Martin - please ask him (if he remembers).
Just an addition to m previous E-mail for Peter.
I saw and spoke to Joe Cocker a couple of weeks ago and reminded him of the Acetate he sent to Saville Row regarding the song With A Little Help From My Friends, he had recorded and wanted to know what the Beatlles thought of his Version !!!.
Just A Memory !!!
