Decision to deny Brian Epstein London plaque is shameful, Beatles author says
David Bedford, author of “Liddypool: The Birthplace of the Beatles,” told Beatles Examiner, “They should reconsider and correct an appalling decision to ignore the man who not only gave us The Beatles, but gave us a new way of managing groups."He was a forerunner and should be recognized as such. This isn’t just about The Beatles. This is about music history.”

Why the Beatles tried to sink Yellow Submarine
EVERYTHING I have ever been told about the making of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine cartoon says that the film should have been a disaster. You know how your teacher used to tell you not to start an essay until you knew roughly what you wanted to say? Yeah, well they didn't do that.

The Beatles Get a Second Chance, 9 May 1962
On this spring morning fifty years ago, Brian Epstein climbed the front steps and passed through the simple entrance of the EMI Recording Studios in St. John’s Wood, London, placing him on the other side of the looking glass. As a retailer, he had sold recordings made in these studios by Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Thomas Beecham, and, more recently, Cliff Richard and the Shadows. The neophyte manager of the Beatles now eagerly anticipated the possibility of watching through the control room window as his “boys” joined that exclusive club.
