Paul's Boutique was a landmark record in music law. The Beatles did sue them. It's largely thanks to that album that sampling isn't a legal liability and allowed the practice to continue. It's one of the most important records of all time IMO.
For a modern example of something similar, Avalanches took like 15 years to release their second album, Wildflower because they had to clear hundreds of samples, including the Beatles.
Outstanding album though.
The Beatles thing is a myth. Nobody connected to the Beatles has sued anybody over Paul’s Boutique. Most of the samples on Pauls’ Boutique were cleared, especially the most obvious ones.

Huh, TIL. I even glanced over the Wikipedia page before I posted that. Thanks!

I found a torrent years ago with every song they sampled on this album, I highly recommend it. Absolutely phenomenal collection of music that goes so much deeper than you expect.
