The most Beatles-related thing I know of about Jones were his claims
some years back about the Beatles' -- particularly Ringo's and Paul's --
supposed incompetence as musicians.

There was a corpulent, foul-mouthed character (now also deceased) in RMB
who parroted all this nonsense, but like a true Trumpian, didn't bother
to verify a word of it.  Jones claimed that Ringo was unable to complete
a four-bar passage, so he sent Ringo off to drink lager and have a
shephard's pie.  A jazz guy was called in to play the part, and he "tore
it up," according to Jones.

However, the sound of a jazz guy "tearing it up" is nowhere to be heard
on the record.
