Beatles, Rolling Stones Turned Down Bob Dylan's Album Idea
. In his forthcoming memoir, Sound Man: A Life Recording Hits with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, The Faces�, he drops a big reveal, recounting the time Bob Dylan told him he wanted to record an album with both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. In an excerpt on Rolling Stone, Johns recounted running into Dylan circa 1969 in a New York Airport. "He said he had this idea to make a record with the Beatles and the Stones," Johns recalled. "And he asked me if I would find out whether the others would be interested. I was completely bowled over. Can you imagine the three greatest influences on popular music in the previous decade making an album together?" Johns delved into getting the parties together and immediately faced conflicting opinions, he writes. "Keith [Richards] and George [Harrison] thought it was fantastic," John said. "But they would since they were both huge Dylan fans. Ringo, Charlie [Watts] and Bill [Wyman] were amicable to the idea as long as everyone else was interested. John [Lennon] didn't say a flat no, but he wasn't that interested. Paul [McCartney] and Mick [Jagger] both said absolutely not." Read more here.
