In 1994, the three surviving Beatles approached Lynne to help them produce new Beatles material from poorly preserved mono tapes containing some unfinished Lennon demos that Yoko Ono had given them. The resulting songs were "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love". McCartney admitted having some reservation about having Lynne as producer. McCartney said, "He's such a pal of George's. They'd done the Wilburys, and I was expecting him to lead it that way. To tell you the truth, I thought that he and George might create a wedge, saying, 'We're doing it this way' and I'd be pushed out." He later acknowledged his reservations proved unfounded, as Lynne conducted the sessions in an evenhanded manner. "Free as a Bird" later won a Grammy.
