I can't answer your question (yet), but this is from the "Get Back" movie as well: http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...ad.php?t=59623

Hmmmm…..I’m not too sure. Maybe he was referring to Need Your Love So Bad.
I think it a bit unlikely though. Need Your Love So Bad had been released many months previously in early 68. I’m not sure why it’s appearance on a TV programme in January 69 would have piqued his interest so much. Surely it would have already been in his consciousness by then.

Well, reportedly it's been the case that at that time the Beatles were interested in signing the Mac for their Apple label, so it's not too surprising that the band was talked about in the fab four's circles. But as we all know now, in March '69 - when the Blue Horizon label deal had run out - they signed a contract with Immediate (originally intended for a 5-year term). That again was cut short in July with Apple Records being one of the contenders for the future Mac label. But in early August the band signed with Warner / Reprise . . . and the rest (as they say) is history.
