Here is the story from Bob Purvis:
I hope the pictures will be good enough. It's all I have of the Apple sessions
back in 1973. George is seen producing "Another Chance That I Let Go (Lonely
Man)". I wrote the track myself. Pete (Ham) played on the Apple version, but
not on the later Splinter album version.
Two pictures are from the film "Little Malcolm And His Struggle Against The
Eunuchs." John Hurt and Roz Ayres in the crowd.

Splinter are in the film on stage performing in a club.

The rest of the pictures were taken in Apple Studios recording the music for the
film produced by George Harrison.
On the pictures I'm holding the Bangladesh Harptone guitar; I believe Joey or Pete
played it in the concert. George gave me the guitar as a present and now I think
it's in the Beatles Museum in Liverpool. [Pete is playing a 6-string and Bobby is
playing a 12-string]


The pictures show Pete & myself tuning up our guitars, George on piano in the
background.

Then myself and George around the piano, Pete and Tag (Badfinger roadie) in the background.
[Bill Elliott? is behind Bobby Purvis]

But when we did the re-recorded version as "Lonely Man" for Splinter's
2nd album "Harder To Live", Mal Evans wrote 3/4 of the lyrics and I wrote
1/4 of the lyrics and the tune (music). George produced the track again.
