A few minutes from the episode 'September '69: Planning New Hits, Then John Quits, Caught on Tape'.

This focusses on a couple of meetings, recorded a week apart, just before the release of "Abbey Road". In the first, there's a general agreement that The Beatles will record a new album or at least a Christmas single; in the second, John says he wants a "divorce".

"McCartney Legacy" co-author Allan Kozinn and I discuss what's on the tapes and why there was such an about-turn within just seven days.
