the Reluctant Beatle page 31 by ric gustafson
George was really mad at Paul. " Okay, see you around the clubs". He left the building and drove home. John asked Neil Aspinall if Eric Clapton was available. George told Pattie he had walked out of the band. John, Yoko and Ringo tried to get him to come back.
George came back under two conditions. First, the band would work on the new album at 3 Savile Row instead of Twickenham. Second, Billy Preston was asked to come and play on the new album. Instead of George Martin, John did not want editing or overdubbing.
The band was upset because Apple was draining most of their money. Yoko was a regular now in the studio. Also coming now was Linda Eastman, her daughter Heather and sometimes Pattie. The band decided that their one off concert would be on the roof of the Apple building.
For the band's legal issues, John sought out New Jersey born accountant Allen Klein. Klein promised the band that he would clean up their mess at Apple. Paul complicated matters even more by asking Lee Eastman Linda Eastman's father to take care of the Apple mess.
