Did Bernard Purdie really record with The Beatles?
« on: November 15, 2011, 12:12:05 PM »
Here's an excerpt from Max Weinberg's excellent book, "The Big Beat" (1984):
    
Weinberg: You played on Beatles' tracks?
Purdie: Twenty-one of them.
Weinberg: Do you remember which ones?
Purdie: Ummhmm.
Weinberg: Which ones?
Purdie: That's information I don't disclose.
Weinberg: Why won't you name the tracks?
Purdie: Because if I need that information to get me some money, then I'll have what's necessary. I also played on songs by the Animals, the Monkees.
Weinberg: Everyone knows the Monkees were a fabricated band, but The Beatles?
Purdie: Ringo never played on anything.
Weinberg: Ringo never played on anything?
Purdie: Not the early Beatles stuff.
