Meet the Beatles for Real: car

December 1, 1983 - Dorchester Hotel

It was on this date that Paul & Linda, Ringo, George and Yoko all met at Yoko's suite at the Dorchester Hotel in London. According to a comment on this very site, The Beatles EMI contract had expired in 1976, so they'd each had the option to sign with other labels - George and Ringo signed with new labels, but Paul stayed with EMI, but as part of the new deal, Paul negotiated an increased royalty payment for Beatles' record sales - so he was getting more than the others.

The meeting did not go well, but Paul and Linda sure look happy. I still have never found a photograph of Ringo from this date. But apparently he tolk a reporter who asked if the Beatles were getting back together not to be "daft."
