John Lennon revealed he didn’t think The Beatles were good musicians to a student journalist who talked his way into a press conference before a gig.

In a remarkable recording, the legendary lyricist let slip the Fab Four counted themselves more as entertainers than musicians, and he said they had to fight to write their songs as their record company wanted them to perform cover versions.

In a wide-ranging, never-broadcast interview, Liverpool-born Lennon also said he’d be a layabout (loafer) if he weren’t such a successful musician.
