The Beatles were undoubtedly great but I think some songs they should have remained demos………maxwells silver hammer and when I’m 64

Ordered Macca’s lyric book bit pricey but looks great

Of course, music is subjective so there’s no right or wrong song. Personally I think they did far better songs than them

They did (they're not my favourites of mine), doesn't mean they should remain demo's, they've justified being on their respective albums and contributed to the huge sales, so including them was correct. not all music as to be hard edged, some can be playful and a bit tongue in cheek/fun.
Oooo. Not for me. I like the lazy psychedelic nature of the single

The single as it stands is among my top 5 Beatles records. I like the full speed too for what it says about their playing, the meshing of the instruments and also to understand where that drone wonder came from. Still a good tune too.

They were a bit burnt out at the time so mixed new songs with their live show covers. McCartney ower busy shagging Jane Asher.

True, on top of their busy touring schedule as well
iirc it had to be ready for Xmas but they'd not had time to write enough original songs (for reasons listed above)

Yes, the album was rushed out a bit for the reasons mentioned. For what it's worth my "least favourite Beatles album" would still be ahead of most other artist's stuff in my opinion

The roadie was Mal Evans (who died years ago) unless you mean someone else or it's an old interview?
No. Think it was the ginger fella in the fillum. He's still alive. Mentioned that he was working under Mal.

‘Roadie’ is kind of a redundant title for anybody working for that band after 1966, but I’m sure they were pleased they didn’t need to sit in a Bedford and stop off at Watford Gap on the way north for a gig at Retford Porterhouse or West Runtion Pavilion

Aye. I know. I was kidding around.

Ah right, yeah worked with the Beatles for a few years (68-70). Apparently joined NEMS in 1965 and eventually was taken on by The Beatles as equipment manager.
What a gig that would have been. Lucky Lad.
