It's not all 'off the record' humans being human that's just a lie they've used to try and entice more buyers. However, i've learnt quite a lot of, tit-bit's. Like the fact Paul had 3 hofner violin basses and one got stolen and John had to make a payout to avoid being sued by 'that fat chick' who he's supposed to have punched on the infamous night he got thrown out of the trouboudour. There's lot's of quotes about them reforming. Some interviews, one is with Kenny everett with john for plastic ono band. Some reviews for albums good and bad.

Yeah. Someone could sell it but Jeezuz what's so f*ckin' bad about that. What the hell's it matter to Ringo? And it just pisses me off that he was more mean spirited about that aspect of it rather than the happiness it would bring people who bought the memorabillia. I wonder how true the gardener's story is though

He was at Tittenhurst till the late '80's from the early 70's? n.b just to be accurate it was one of the workmen Ringo hired to help move stuff not the garden who provided the story

He escaped unhurt, but much of his collection of Beatle memorabilia was destroyed. Found this snippet on Google.
