    The exclusive interview with Julia Baird is from the 2005 British Invasion Rarities DVD. The Beatles instrumental version of Julia was added as the background audio track. The unreleased demo of Julia during the recording sessions for The Beatles White Album follows. The ballad itself was the final track, composed by Lennon and recorded for the 1968 double album. No other Beatle sings or plays on the song. This is the only time that Lennon played solo and sang unaccompanied on a Beatles track.

    The song Julia is not included in the eight-disc super deluxe collection celebrating the 50th anniversary of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, releasing on April 16, 2021.
    Lourdersound.com article: The reissue is described as a “deep listening experience and in-depth exploration” of John Lennon’s first solo studio album which was recorded in 1970 shortly after the Beatles split.
    Along with the original album's tracks, the 2021 release will also include previously unreleased demos, rehearsal outtakes, jams, and studio conversations - and in total John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band will feature 87 never-before-heard recordings.
    To mark the news, Capitol/UMC released the new Ultimate Mix of Mother and shared a video trailer for the album on April 1, 2021. The Super Deluxe edition is presented across 6CD and 2 Blu-ray and also includes a 132-page book, War Is Over! poster and two postcards. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band will also be released on CD, 2CD, 6CD, and 2LP.
    Wikipedia: Julia Baird is the younger half-sister of John Lennon and is the eldest daughter of his mother Julia Lennon (12 March 1914 - 15 July 1958) and John 'Bobby' Albert Dykins (1918 - December 1965).
    John Lennon was born in 1940 during Julia Lennon's marriage to Alfred Lennon. After complaints to Liverpool's Social Services by her eldest sister, Mimi Smith (née Stanley), she handed over the care of her son John to her sister Mimi. She later had one daughter after an affair with a Welsh soldier, but the baby was given up for adoption after pressure from her family. She then had two daughters, Julia and Jackie, with John 'Bobby' Dykins. She never divorced her husband Alfred Lennon, preferring to live as the common-law wife of Dykins for the rest of her life.
    Julia Lennon was known as being high-spirited and impulsive, musical, and having a strong sense of humor. She taught her son how to play the banjo and ukulele. She kept in almost daily contact with John, and when he was in his teens he often stayed overnight at her and Dykins' house. On 15 July 1958 at age 44, she was knocked down and killed by a car driven by an off-duty policeman, close to her sister's house at 251 Menlove Avenue. #JohnLennon was traumatized by her death and wrote several songs about her, including #TheBeatles "Julia" and "Mother".

    I love listening to Julia Baird talk about her family, but she is confused when she says that John's father went to sea at the same time of the Titanic accident. That happened in 1912. Other than that, I could listen to her all day.

      @Chinachik Před rokem

      Doesn't much matter, they shared the same mother....were literally birthed from the very same womb. The only reason they weren't as close as some sibs was due to age difference and John being raised by Mimi rather than Julia. I don't think she's forgetting a thing. Not saying that her recounts are all vividly accurate, but she's one of the few left who know about the family, whether she's admitting it all or not.

      He's still making it up and playing with how the guitar part may go. John would make tapes of the progress of a song, from beginning to end and sometimes not have it finished when he brought it to the Studio. There if he had problems with parts of it, usually Paul would help him out and even the other two on occasion. There was a radio show that used to play the evolution of songs John worked on that was fascinating. I would like to hear it again....

    Half sister. They didn't grow up together; she is much younger. From everything I've read, they spent very little time together at all. She asked him to buy her a house and he said no. She's said a lot of suspiciously vague and unverifiable things that have lead a lot of people to think that she is only taking advantage of her connection to him. It's strange how she claims to know better than the man about things she was never present for, and contradicting him on his inspirations. She's a grifter.
