I don't think I actually heard all of 'Two Virgins'; just bits of it. I wasn't particularly into that kind of thing. That was his and her affair; their trip. They got involved with each other and were obviously into each other to such a degree that they thought everything they said or did was of world importance, and so they made it into records and films.

What I thought of that sleeve [Two Virgins] then was the same as I think now; it's just two not-very-nice looking bodies, two flabby bodies naked.

The thing about 'Revolution' (and you could get into a debate about this), is that it's not so much the song but the attitude in which it was done. I think 'Revolution' is pretty good and it grooves along, but I don't particularly like the noise that it makes; and I say 'noise' because I didn't like the distorted sound of John's guitar. I think that 'Revolution' - as with all the different styles of song - has its own merit. It's a good tune, but I don't think it is one of John's best songs. The only thing that may make it important is what it's actually saying, but at the same time there was a lot of other politically - aware music going around the world.

David Frost, George Harrison and John Lennon in conversation on 'The Frost Programme', 29 September 1967 David Frost: How do you come to reach this stage of meditation? George Harrison: Each person's individual life pulsates in a certain rhythm, so they give you a word or a sound, known as a mantra, which pulsates with that rhythm. The whole idea is to transcend to the subtlest level of thought, so you replace the thought with the mantra, and the mantra becomes more and more subtle until finally you've lost even the mantra. Then you find yourself at the level of pure consciousness. David Frost: Is the mantra something you use to get back to the subject if you find earthly or irrelevant thoughts intruding? John Lennon: Yes, it's sort of like that. You just sort of sit there and you let your mind go. It doesn't matter what you're thinking about, just let it go, and then you just introduce the mantra or the vibration to take over from the thought. You don't will it, or use your willpower. George Harrison: We've only been doing it for a matter of six weeks, and there's definite proof I've had that it is something that really works. But in actual fact it'll take a long time to arrive at the point where I'm able to bring that level of consciousness into this level of consciousness, which is the aim of it.

I was going to give him [Magic Alex] the V12 engine out of my Ferrari Berlinetta and John was going to give him his, and Alex reckoned that with those two engines he could make a flying saucer.

Magic Alex impressed John, and because John was impressed with him, Alex came into our lives. He was a charming fellow - for a while.

We'd been at a big housewarming party at Brian Epstein's house in Sussex in May, Sgt Pepper time I had been given LSD by George, and John had given me a dose separately and earlier, so I had a big double dose and we did see wonderful things.

John had a song he had started to write which he was singing: 'Maharishi what have you done?' and I said, 'You can't say that, it's ridiculous.' I came up with the title of 'Sexy Sadie' and John changed 'Maharishi' to 'Sexy Sadie'.

There was a big hullabaloo about him [Maharishi Mahesh Yogi] trying to get off with Mia Farrow and a few other women, things like that. We'd stayed up all night discussing was it true or not true. And when George started thinking it might be true, I thought it must be true because if George is doubting him there must be something in it. So we went to see Maharishi. The whole gang of us the next day charged down to his hut; his very rich-looking bungalow in the mountains. As usual, when the dirty work came, I actually had to be the leader. Whatever the scene was, when it came to the nitty-gritty, I had to do the speaking.
