I always wondered how EWF felt about everything else sucking. It's kind of embarrassing that they brought their A game, only to have it wasted on a pile of shit. Two piles of shit if you want to count the film and soundtrack separately.

From what I remember of the one time I heard the soundtrack, George Martin was all over it trying to make sure nobody departed too far from the original recordings he had made (with some help from some band or other called the Beatles). I'm assuming the EWF track was 100% Maurice White and that George Martin would not have been allowed anywhere near the recording studio.

Yep, the EWF track was indeed produced by Maurice White, far from the Martin-produced sessions. And Martin only (and reluctantly) took on the project because he figured, if someone else was at the helm, they’d really screw it up. Also, I believe a truckload of money was involved. But he supposedly later said that the EWF track was by far his favorite on the record.

It would probably have been a lot better if Martin hadn't been involved.

Just imagine what Donald Pleasance could have managed with "I Want You" if left to his own devices.

I can imagine Barry Gibb or somebody in the studio trying to record something and George Martin standing over him, in his suit and tie, droning away, "No no, the boys would never have done it that way, that just won't do".

I believe George heard the EWF track and said 'we should have let everybody do it their own way' (or wtte)

Plus, 'All this and world war 2' came out around the same time, with more OK beatles covers than this. (I even thought the EWF track came from that)
