Notes: On April 10, 1970, Paul McCartney officially announced to the press that he was leaving the group.
This, however did not stop any further work on The Long and Winding Road film. Shortly after McCartney's announcement, Apple continued to promote the film.
Now stating that the documentary would be shown in the split screen format,
much like the recently successful Woodstock movie, Apple said the film would be in cinemas by Christmas 1970.
The October 1970 issue of Beatles Book Monthly (the group's official fan magazine),
would also report that Aspinall was close to completing the film and still cited a Christmas release date.
However, the film did not make the Christmas season release as it would be tangled up in the group's legal battles in late 1970
