US VS Lennon DVD!

'The US Versus John Lennon' is set to be released on Feb 13. The movie focuses on Lennon's causes and why the United States tried to deport him from the country.

This marks a great week for Beatles fans. Yesterday there was a report that Paul McCartney is releasing a new track that features Lennon on vocals.

Now if McCartney could just get him out the scandal sheets and get in the recording studio or on tour....

Lord Have Mercy!

Paul McCartney is planning to release a lost John Lennon song according to reports.

Apparently Macca is desperate to work on the abandoned track entitled ‘Now And Then’ and possibly release it as a single.

A source told the Daily Express: "It has always bothered Paul a bit that they didn't finish 'Now And Then'. Although George wasn't keen, Paul always felt the song had a lot of potential.”

“He is now hoping to complete it, with him singing the harmonies to John's lead vocal. It would be very moving to hear the two of them singing one last time.”

McCartney originally planned to work on the song at the same time as he and the former Beatles we reworking ‘Free As A Bird’ and ‘Real Love’.
