Stones X Take 1

It was 37 years ago today - January 21, 1969. THE BEATLES resumed filming and recording for their latest project, which would turn out to be the LET IT BE movie and LP, at their new recording studio in the Apple building, after GEORGE HARRISON's walk-out from the sessions at the Twickenham film studio the previous week.

Back in December 1968, also at Twickenham, the "Let It Be" director MICHAEL LINDSAY-HOGG had filmed the ROLLING STONES' "Rock'n Roll Circus", which also featured JOHN LENNON. Somehow Lindsay-Hogg had wrapped filming on "Circus" without having filmed an introduction for the Stones' set. So on January 21, he got Lennon to film a brief intro, which he used in "Circus", only without the audio. The audio eventually surfaced on the infamous Nagra rolls from the "Let It Be" sessions. And here it is:
