After the completion of the White Album, The Beatles worked on their own projects or just took a break. With the group unable or unwilling to pull together to promote the album, Paul McCartney gave an interview on this day to Radio Luxembourg.
The interview took place at McCartney's home in London. Paul mmented only on songs he had written or sung on, with the exceptions of Happiness Is A Warm Gun and Good Night.
Tony Macurthur conducted the interview and expressed surprise that the album was not a progression from Sgt Pepper, to which McCartney explained "It's another step, but it's not necessarily in the way people expected." He also said the songs were easier to perform live, hinting at a return to the stage after two years away.
The show was first broadcast on November 20th, in a special two-hour show on the album. It also contained contributions, recorded separately, from Judith Simons, the Daily Express newspaper's pop correspondent.
