An old feud has been rekindled after Paul McCartney credited the Beatles tracks on his new live album as having been written by ‘Paul McCartney and John Lennon’. This has annoyed the ever diplomatic Yoko Ono who claims a previous agreement states Beatles songs will always be credited to ‘Lennon/McCartney’. Ono's lawyer, Peter Shukat, told Rolling Stone that McCartney’s actions is "absolutely inappropriate".
But Geoff Baker, speaking for McCartney, told reporters Lennon and McCartney agreed in the sixties they could switch the names whenever they felt like it. He claimed that McCartney has been crediting his name first on Beatles songs on his solo albums since ‘Wings Over America’ in 1976 and that it was only on records released via the Beatles' Apple label that all band members, or their estates, must agree changes.
