Talk:Real Love (Beatles song)

message: I've just seen this mentioned as how a Featured Article on a song should be, but sorry to say I think it needs some cleaning. There's plenty of sloppy language, and even some quotations without references. It's a very pleasant read, however. --kingboyk 20:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Something

message: I'm not clear about what's being disputed here. Is it disputed that Lennon put the song on the backburner (which, for those who lack a decent command of the English language, means that work on the song was halted)? I don't see any claim in the sentence that the song would have been worked on for Milk & Honey, unless putting something on the backburner now means the exact opposite of what it used to state.

thread_title:  What does this mean? 

message: In the last part of the In the Studio section, there is a large quotation indent, which is usually used for long quotes from a single source. Here it is used with several short quotes in quick succession. I'm wondering if it should still be indented. Alex 20:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In the Studio Quotation 

message: Is there a citation for this statement?
I remember an interview with George Martin saying he hadn't been asked to produce Free as a Bird - with a hint of bitterness. Paul said during interviews at the time of release that George (Harrison) wanted Jeff Lynne, Paul conceeded that George Martin's hearing had deteriorated to the extent that Martin wasn't the right person to produce the new stuff.

thread_title:  George Martin not interested in the project 

message: It's not that suprising that Paul didn't use his Hofner bass. He changed the bass he used for recording in 1965; Geoff Emerick said in Complete Beatle Recording Sessions that Paperback writer was recorded using a Rickenbacker bass. The Beatles seems to have moved to Fender basses around 1967.

thread_title:  Edit of "surprisingly did not use his Hofner bass" 

message: Some editors keep restoring the first sentence to: 
:"'Real Love' is a song thought to have been written by John Lennon, although according to his widow Yoko Ono, it was quite well known that the song may have been bootlegged."
That sentence is poorly written. The logic of the assertion is not clear and who is asserting it isn't clear either: who thinks the song was written by Lennon and who doesn't? Rgarding the logic, bootlegging has nothing to do with authorship; the quote from Ono indicates that unauthorized people distributed unofficial versions of the song prior to when she gave the tapes to McCartney.
No evidence has been presented that there is a dispute over the authorship of the song. If any editor wants to restore the above sentence or something like it, he or she should be prepared to offer citable, reliable evidence. John Cardinal (talk) 13:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the title of the article be "Real Love (John Lennon song)"? He wrote it after the Beatles were broken up, and they just polished it up as a single two decades later.  Kahlil88 (talk) 03:17, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Lennon song 

message: An "inside" observer told me that Lennon actually received Real Love (with a different title "Alone" or something like that), in the mail from a fan, and re-worded much of it before recording it in his apartment.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prime48 (talk • contribs) 05:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The video was also re-edited to include more footage of Paul with Linda, George with Olivia and Ringo with Barbara, as Yoko was the only Beatle wife shown in the first version. My source is The Beatles Book, but as all my back issues are thousands of miles away in my dad's attic, I won't be getting the issue or page numbers any time soon.

message: I removed unsourced speculation that Now and Then will the Beatles next single.  I've been following this news for months and, so far, there has been no official confirmation that the next song will be Now and Then or when it will be released.  There's been widespread speculation but nothing concrete beyond an unnamed song being released sometime in 2023.  If I am wrong, please cite some reliable sources.
