The solo projects had both positive and negative repercussions. While each album was well received, when it came time to regroup for a new Beatles project, they found it hard to work together. Each was reluctant to relinquish their new found independence and aside from Paul, showed little enthusiasm for the next project which started out as a film of them rehearsing for and performing a comeback concert but ended up as a film of them recording a new album. After shelving the Get Back project for now, they managed to return to form for the spectacular Abbey Road album.

John was especially busy with outside projects. He released two solo singles and two more avant garde sound pieces. He also released a live album of an inpromptu solo concert from the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival. John's activity outside the band led many to speculate that he had left the group, rumours that would persist through 1970 and into 1971 when the band releases Through Many Years.
