Who gets the money? Yoko? Paul? or Micheal Jackson’s estate?

I can hardly contain my excitement. Back in the 80’s I bought his “Live in New York” (I think that was the title) album. On the album he attempts to perform the song “Come Together,” which he wrote, and couldn’t even remember the words!!!!
What a wasted has-been.

Michael Jackson's estate will get nothing. These recordings cannot be part of any Beatles catalog.
I would think Yoko would profit from any funds derived from the sale of these recordings...if she owns them. Otherwise, the actual owner would be the beneficiary....after a long court battle that we all know is coming.

Hope that “imagine there’s no heaven” thing is working out for him.

The Lost John Lennon Interview
"Power to the People"
TA (interviewer): In a way you were even thinking about politics when you seemed to be knocking revolution?
JL (Lennon): Ah, sure, 'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'. The original version which ends up on the LP said 'count me in' too; I put in both because I wasn't sure. There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming. I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution--but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
On the version released as a single I said 'when you talk about destruction you can count me out'. I didn't want to get killed. I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off. I just thought it was unsubtle, you know. I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it. That was how I felt--I was really asking a question. As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.

Music samples not working for me - anyone else? "Get started" and "Stay longer" seem to work, such as they are. ("Get started" starts with obscenities; had to turn down the volume rather fast.) None of the others worked for me.
Very distinctive, resonant speaking voice on Lennon. But musically, absolutely lost, by the sound of him. Seems to have no concern or clue about what sounds good.

I really liked the early Beatles. I was stationed in Germany and we had a band and covered a lot of Beatle songs. I really appreciated the songs, the chords, the harmonies and the arrangements of Lennon and McCartney were almost unbelievable.
However, as they progressed, turned to drugs and started hanging out in Bangladesh and dressing like Ricky Ricardo had a yard sale, their music started getting weirder and weirder. I never used drugs so perhaps that's why I didn't "get it"...who knows. I think "Rubber Soul" was the last album I bought of them, and I liked about half of those songs.
Then, when Yoko Ono came on the scene I just dismissed them for dead and never followed any of them after the Beatles broke up. I don't think I even remember anything either of them did on a "solo" basis.
So, I personally don't care about Lennon's missing recordings, especially if that skank Ono is on them.

I loved “Dear Prudence”, sitting on an ACAV in Vietnam, cleaning a 50 cal machine gun.

Probably like all those other “never released!” recordings by some late, great artist: Because they SUCKED and folks didn’t want them to get out in the public!

There’s a good reason the songs were never released.

Yawn.
The Kinks and the Zombies have worn better, maybe even the Dave Clark Five for gosh sake. The Stones aged like a fine wine - the Beatles, after Rubber Soul, devolved into rancid self absorbtion, and Lennon led the pack.
