The British Broadcasting Corp. will air a long lost Beatles interview featuring John Lennon and Paul McCartney talking about the day they met and their songwriting partnership.
The precious film sat forgotten for 44 years in a garage in south
London until film fan Richard Jeffs realized a piece of pop history was
contained inside.
Experts were surprised to find the audio portion still usable for radio broadcast.
The
nine-minute interview was recorded at the Scottish Television studios
in April 1964 during the early days of Beatlemania. It will be
broadcast for the first time on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday and repeated
later this week.
On the tape, Lennon tells how he was playing with a skiffle band outside Liverpool when McCartney introduced himself.
