Notes: As part of their promotional trip to the United States to launch Apple Corps, John Lennon and Paul McCartney conducted a series of interviews for the US media.

The interviews took place in a suite at the St Regis Hotel, New York City. The media organisations included the New York Times.

Among the reporters was Larry Kane, a Miami-based disc jockey who had been a key supporter of The Beatles since their US invasion in 1964.

Kane asked Lennon and McCartney about Apple`s business aims, their trip to India, thoughts on LSD, US campus riots and Martin
Luther King Jr`s assassination. Lennon also talks about The Beatles touring days in the US, particularly their troubled 1966 appearance in Memphis and their first visit to New York in 1964.

The interview footage remained unseen until in 2005 when Larry released a book called "Lennon Revealed".
