A big year for everyone. Paul releases two albums, Red Rose Speedway early in the year and Band On The Run towards the end of the year. He also records the theme song for the new James Bond film Live And Let Die. John and Yoko's marriage hits a rocky patch and they separate. John begins his "lost weekend"? period. John releases his Mind Games single and George and Ringo both release solo albums. In the middle of all this, the Beatles manage to regroup to record Out The Blue.

Reality Notes:

Many songs were taken from Red Rose Speedway for the Beatles album but this album was originaly concieved as a double album. This maens that songs we took away are replaced with others originaly slated for the album.

We also took two songs from George and Ringo's respective albums but creativity was high and animosity was low druring this period so I will assume that there was more material in the works.

John's Mind Games album is put on hold and is finished the next year by combining the leftovers with the tracks left unused from Walls And Bridges.
