Regarding the new Beatles tune, Paul clarifies a few things on twitter:
BEATLES
"Been great to see such an exciting response to our forthcoming Beatles project. No one is more excited than us to be sharing something with you later in the year.
We’ve seen some confusion and speculation about it. Seems to be a lot of guess work out there. Can’t say too much at this stage but to be clear,
nothing has been artificially or synthetically created. It’s all real and we all play on it. We cleaned up some existing recordings - a process which
has gone on for years. We hope you love it as much as we do. More news in due course" - Paul, Jun 22, 2023

Can't wait for when John and George show up, if it's real.

Hope they can lift Yoko's vocals in some of those later tracks

I though that John had changed his name to John Ono Lennon. I wasn't aware he kept the Winston part.

Yes, not to mention how we breathe, how we sneeze and how we take a leak.

The Beatles are superhuman, but it starts seriously look like that there is no tour or new album to be soon expected. But it is only 57/53 years and counting.

The Beatles only continue when John Lennon joins them, according to Paul McCartney some 25 years ago.

That causes a technical problem for lesser mortals, but we are not here talking about them. Macca is so innovative that I am sure he will sort that one out. Besides, for a 'democratic' band, the less there are living members, easier it is to govern. I mean, what happened to Harrison's veto for the soon-to-be-released song?

Damn, there's always something new to discover about the fab 4, even on a Stones site.

There's a possibility George's veto might have been reversed if he was here and heard what everyone else did with the new technology. Just a thought.

Is this stuff was good, Lennon himself would have not kept it unreleased.

Sort of hard to say whether he would have released it eventually or not. It could have been a demo intended for his next album for all we know.
Or maybe he stockpiled so many little home recordings, he didn't know what to do with them all. Like most artists, he didn't release every single thing he ever recorded - especially if it's a demo/work in progress.
He might have revisited it 40 years after the fact and added some new guitar parts and vocal overdubs...similar to what Mick and the Stones have been doing on a regular basis for years now with the Bonus/deluxe tracks.
It was probably never intended as a Beatles tune, but then again maybe it was. He might have kept an open mind on the possibility for a big Beatles reunion some day - holding out this tune just for that!
Hard to say anything about his thoughts on the tune with absolute certainty, but one thing is certain - a new tune under the Beatles name is being released in 2023...over 50 years after they broke up.
