That '76 Beatles reunion story is back ...

That supposed 1976 Beatles reunion tape we wrote about a few days ago is in the news again, thanks to reports on NME.com, the BBC and the Scotsman. The tape is to be auctioned by momentsintime.com. If that name sounds familiar, it's the same house that had (and later withdrew) the sale of the "Double Fantasy" album autographed by John for the man who later killed him. The BBC quotes a spokesperson for Paul McCartney, who said he was "not aware" of any reunion. Another spokesman for Beatles producer George Martin said he had "no knowledge" of the recording session.

The session, said to have been recorded at Davlen Studios in Los Angeles and produced by George Martin, is said to have resulted in tracks with these titles: "Happy Feeling," "Back Home," "Rockin' Once Again," "People Of The Third World" and "Little Girl." (Never mind that the titles don't sound like anything the Beatles would ever have recorded.) The auction house said it claims to have documentation the sessions took place.
