'Isn't Paul skimming too much off the top?'

Apple Corps and others are pissy that Sir Paul intends to take 50-60% of the profits for Working For Each Other. That's over $70 million USD. His view is that the two of us should split the bulk, given nobody else was keen on it. In the world of musicals or film, as opposed to music, it's normal for a producer to take a similar share of the profits, plus Nancy siphoned hundreds of millions from Paul. Lauren and Apple Corps offered me 12%. Paul said to take 20%. - Collective Memories is the one where I get 60% of the profits. They say there's a million presales for the album: thanks, Taylor fans! She's going to make vinyl editions etc. The front cover is an image that Taylor sent to me, mind-to-mind. - As for The Dakumentary and Wellington Stories: different thing entirely. I said that 50% of The Dakumentary profits should go to Gary, Dakta and NORML NZ. It's not like I need the money: 5% each for Mx. Swarbrick and myself seems fine. Wellington Stories is more complex, but everyone involved should get points. That includes below-the-line crew.

Dakumentary on American TV!

That's what Paul tells me. Given that WB-Discovery owned Newshub, it's a cheap deal. $1 million to clear all the non-WB clips, then it'll be on HBO etc. across the world. Apple Corps sold The Dakume
