Paul McCartney wants one last crack (at least until another old tape surfaces) to work with songwriting partner John Lennon. Earlier reports had McCartney keen to go back in the studio to add some harmonies to a John Lennon lead vocal track of a song they wrote decades ago called "Now and Then."

The remaining Beatles reportedly considered releasing the song in the 1990s, but George Harrison apparently wasn't happy with the song. McCartney was quoted as saying "It needed a bit of reworking but it had a beautiful verse."

Now, Yoko Ono has apparently chimed in saying she doesn't mind Sir Paul resurrecting the song. Ono reportedly said "It's up to them. But no, I'm not against it." There is no report on the Harrison estate weighing in on the venture. As for Ringo, I imagine he's happy just to be possibly involved.
