A canister of film that had been lying around for 44 years in a South London garage has been discovered by a film buff, and was found to contain an interview with The Beatles. The nine-minute interview took place in the studio of Scottish Television on April 30, 1964. It was thought to have been recorded in London and put into a canister and apparently forgotten about. Now stored safely in a professional archive, the film is said to be the earliest surviving long-form British interview with the band. In other words, it is rare. The interview offers revealing insight into the songwriting partnership of Lennon and McCartney. Paul said:

“Sometimes we write them on old pianos or anything that’s lying around, guitars and things. Normally we sit down and try and bash one out.”

McCartney and Lennon also recalled their first meeting. John said:

“I was playing at a garden fete in the village where I lived just outside Liverpool playing with a skiffle group and he came along and that’s how we met.”

When asked how the boys liked the hysterical fans going crazy over them, Paul said:

“We love that … the atmosphere in the theatres, really it’s marvellous.”

We all know how that changed after awhile.
