George Harrison returns to London and has a five-hour meeting with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr. Although he and Lennon make peace, George makes it clear that he is fully prepared to quit for good if certain conditions of his aren’t met. All the talk about live performances must stop, and the sessions must be geared towards recording an album AS AN ALBUM, not as a sideline to a film project. This would allow The Beatles to quit rehearsing at the gloomy and cold Twickenham sound stage and start recording at their own brand-new Apple Studios. The filming could continue as long as it was for the making of a film about The Beatles making an album. The other Beatles accepted George’s conditions; after all, they were getting nowhere with what they were doing, and they certainly didn’t want George to leave the group. And so they now embarked upon the making of an album and a film about the making of the album, both the record and the movie to be called “Get Back.”
