About: Early 1970

An Entity of Type: song, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

"Early 1970" is a song by English rock musician Ringo Starr that was released as the B-side of his April 1971 single "It Don't Come Easy". A rare example of Starr's songwriting at the time, it was inspired by the break-up of the Beatles and documents his relationship with his three former bandmates. The lyrics to the verses comment in turn on Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison as individuals, and the likelihood of each of them making music with Starr again. In the final verse, Starr offers a self-deprecating picture of his musical abilities and expresses the hope that all four will play together in the future. Commentators have variously described "Early 1970" as "a rough draft of a peace treaty" and "a disarming open letter" from Starr to Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.

  • "Early 1970" is a song by English rock musician Ringo Starr that was released as the B-side of his April 1971 single "It Don't Come Easy". A rare example of Starr's songwriting at the time, it was inspired by the break-up of the Beatles and documents his relationship with his three former bandmates. The lyrics to the verses comment in turn on Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison as individuals, and the likelihood of each of them making music with Starr again. In the final verse, Starr offers a self-deprecating picture of his musical abilities and expresses the hope that all four will play together in the future. Commentators have variously described "Early 1970" as "a rough draft of a peace treaty" and "a disarming open letter" from Starr to Lennon, McCartney and Harrison. The song's working title was "When Four Nights Come to Town". Starr recorded the basic track in London in October 1970, midway through the sessions for Lennon's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album, and then completed the recording with Harrison. Apple Corps manager Allen Klein suggested that the three former Beatles invite McCartney to contribute, to weaken the latter's case for the band's legal dissolution, but this did not take place. (en)
  • "Early 1970" es una canción de Ringo Starr , lanzada como el lado B de "It Don't Come Easy" en abril de 1971. Se inspira en la reciente ruptura de The Beatles , y su deseo de continuar haciendo música con sus ex compañeros de banda, Paul McCartney , John Lennon y George Harrison. La canción fue escrita con el título "When Four Knights Come To Town" y la primera registrada durante las sesiones del álbum Plastic Ono Band de John Lennon (en la que Starr tocó la batería) en octubre de 1970.​ La canción se terminó posteriormente con George Harrison quien produjo y contribuyó con guitarra. Allen Klein (el gerente de Ringo, George y John) sugirió que se invitara a Paul para participar en la grabación de la canción, pensando que si lo hacía sería socavar cualquier iniciativa legal que hizo para salir de los Beatles.​ Tal colaboración no se llevó a cabo y McCartney presentó una demanda ante el Tribunal Supremo para disolver la sociedad de los Beatles en diciembre de 1970.

  • At that point, I felt that when John comes to town, I know he's gonna play with me, and if George comes to town, I know he'll play with me, and if Paul comes to town, I "wonder" if he's gonna play. We were going through that Apple nonsense, where Paul was suing the three of us. And he was angry, and we were angry, and I was wondering when that would stop. (en)
  • It was a relief once we finally said we would split up ... I sat in the garden for a while wondering what the hell to do with my life. After you've said it's over and go home, you think: "Oh, God – that's it, then. Now what do you do?" It was quite a dramatic period for me – or , actually. (en)
