David Gresham Records Podcast David Gresham Records

This controversial interview was conducted by legendary Springbok Radio DJ David Gresham in June 1969 with Beatles Icon John Lennon.

The reason for this interview taking place was that sometime earlier on John Lennon had made an alleged remark something to the effect of "The Beatles are bigger than Christ". Due to this alleged statement, South African Broadcasting Corporation (owner of all broadcasting at the time, including the country's national commercial radio station Springbok Radio) banned all forms of music by the Beatles outright.

In June 1969 when Gresham was in London & had mentioned this to Lennon's manager, they were absolutely shocked at this decision which eventually led to Lennon inviting Gresham to interview him on this particular subject, where he felt a discussion & an apology was necessary.
