Interesting post by author Terry Wilson.
This is a little heard March 30, 1970 interview, which reveals how George was feeling at that time.
It was in April once Paul McCartney released his solo album when it was generally considered the Beatles were no more. Meanwhile, George is promoting the soon to be "Let it Be" album.

Let's listen...

1967 Psychedelic beat and mono-mix. This mono original sounds sharper than its stereo counterpart.

The Ballad of John and Yoko (1969) - New Zealand radio censored "Christ" edit.

Very remarkable editing with John's "Christ" edited and replaced by Ringo's drums playing.

One theory I've read was EMI New Zealand could have requested for Apple the Beatles record label, to prepare an edited product/
Back in the day, Various radio broadcasters around the world would either censor "Christ" or not play the single at all.



From Wikipedia….

The single was accompanied by two promotional clips assembled from footage of some of Lennon and Ono's public activities, all of which the couple routinely filmed, between July 1968 and April 1969.

The first clip was broadcast three times on Top of the Pops and contained footage from four events. When shown on the Australian TV show Rage long afterwards, in black and white, this version had the word "Christ" bleeped out in the choruses with an on-screen starburst effect.

In the second film, broadcast on the US show The Music Scene, a traffic sign containing an exclamation mark appears each time the word is heard. This film was made with footage from events featuring Lennon and Ono in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Vienna, among other locations. For this reason, according to author John Winn, it "illustrates the lyrics much more effectively" than the first clip.
