THE BEATLES TAPES: FROM THE DAVID WIGG INTERVIEWS is an audio album of interviews with each of the four members of The Beatles: John Lennon with his second wife Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. British journalist David Wigg interviewed the individual Beatles at various points from December 1968 or January 1969 to December 1973, and excerpts from some of these recordings constitute the album's spoken words. Although he was a columnist for the London newspaper The Evening News, most of the interviews were recorded for the BBC Radio 1 series Scene And Heard. Interspersed among the interview excerpts are instrumental performances of Beatles songs played by other musicians. The Beatles tried to prevent the album's publication, but it was released in the United Kingdom on 30th July 1976 under the Polydor label and in the United States in 1978. Both George and Ringo did attempt to sue, however, both of them lost the case because the interviews were done on public radio on the BBC. David Wigg conducted and edited the interviews. The songs are played by Gavyn Wright and Irvine Arditti (violins), Jan Schlapp (viola), Helen Liebmann (cello), Janice Knight (oboe), Crispian Steele-Perkins and Paul Cash (trumpets), Carlos Bonell and Tom Hartmann (guitars), Francis Monkman (ARP Odyssey Synthesiser), Ann Odell (piano), and Graham Smith (harmonica). This two-CD set of interviews might have a worse reputation than it deserves, for when it was first released in 1976, some fans assumed from the title that it might contain some Beatles music, perhaps previously unreleased. There isn't any Beatles music here, however. It's a collection of interviews done by British journalist David Wigg with each of the four Beatles, individually, in the late '60s and early '70s. It does say THE BEATLES TAPES: FROM THE DAVID WIGG INTERVIEWS on the cover, though the "David Wigg Interviews" part is in small print. The only music is heard in brief instrumental versions of Beatles and John Lennon songs, with none of The Beatles participating, linking the interview segments. Judged as an interview record, however, it's not bad, and perhaps the best of The Beatles interview discs. Wigg's questions are intelligent and not geared toward showbizzy exploitation of Beatlemania, and one imagines that each of the foursome appreciated this, after the histrionic inanity of so many interviews they had to endure in earlier years. Each Beatle gives considered opinions on a variety of subjects, from the future of the group to politics, celebrity, religion, and the band's business and personal problems. If there's one shortcoming, it's that one wishes Wigg had focused a little more on the music, though he doesn't ignore that angle. There are some good sections here, however, whether it's John talking about his peace activism, Paul McCartney discussing Abbey Road, citing the songs "Come Together" and "Because" as a couple of his favorites, and George Harrison discussing, in depth, his songwriting growth and how he wrote "Here Comes The Sun". Like most interview discs, it's not the kind of thing you can play over and over, like you can all Beatles records. But these conversations have historic value, as you hear The Beatles talking about themselves while the events they're discussing are recent or ongoing - even shortly before their breakup, they're still answering questions as if the group's a vibrant project - rather than back in the musty past. Too, each one comes off as a likable individual, often relaying their opinions in a light humorous tone that makes their observations more engaging than reading them on the printed page.
