In early 1962, The Beatles clothing appeared to be a very different from what Britain had first seen them wearing only a few months earlier. Brian Epstein encouraged the four musicians to get out of their leather jackets, black Beatles T Shirt and pants (No, not in that way).

At first, Brian got the Beatles to wear sweaters on stage and eventually mohair suits. Having always loved the theater, Brian knew a thing or two about presentation. Epstein was from an upper middle-class background and he wanted us to appeal to the producers of radio, television and record companies.

Brian Epstein told the Beatles that if they wear suits they’ll get more money. John Lennon’s response was, Read more »

In today’s Beatles News…

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ — Julian Lennon was in NYC recently recording with James Scott Cook, a new artist partner of Julian Lennon’s new company ‘theRevolution’.

Initially, Julian was scheduled to sing a few background vocals on one of James’ songs titled ‘LUCY’, but during the recording, and with the news of Lucy Vodden’s passing fresh on everyone’s minds, Julian suggested that the track be released as a digital charity single, in honor of the memory of Lucy, with proceeds being donated to charities that support research for a cure for Lupus, in Lucy Vodden’s name. (Lucy Vodden, is a childhood friend of Julian who Read more »

John Lennon and Yoko Ono kept their fame from their young son Sean Lenon. For many years Sean didn’t even know his father was once in the Beatles. Sean Lenon had to learn of his father’s worldwide fame and musical accomplishments on his own.

Yoko said, “I was prepared that Sean might become an archaeologist or something. John didn’t even want to tell him that he was a Beatle.” According to Yoko, the famous musical couple were also so desperate to keep their son from being a musician that they didn’t talk about music at home.

Yoko adds, “Sean found out from someone else. One day, he asked John, ‘Were you a Beatle’?” “When Sean was in his 20s, I found out that Read more »

Olivia Harrison

Despite objections from neighbors around George Harrison’s 38 acre Oxfordshire estate, widow Olivia Harrison plans to replace a razor-wire fence. Permission was granted by South Oxfordshire District Council to replace the eight foot high fence to maintain security.

The fence had been installed in 1999 after a 33 year old schizophrenic man broke into the home and stabbed George seven times. Olivia hit the attacker in the head with a fire poker and table lamp. George died of cancer just two years later. Olivia Harrison put in an application to the town asking to replace the 10 year old rotting fence. The town was worried the fence was un-neighborly and detrimental to the town’s character. Letters to the town authorities said the fence made it look like Read more »

The Beatles Her Majesty was foreshadowed by Paul McCartney when he was just ten years old. Apparently, Paul thought Her Majesty was a pretty nice girl even when he was a young boy. In 1953, the young McCartney wrote an essay about the Queen’s Coronation. He entered it into a Liverpool City Council essay competition.

Paul McCartney was a winner even at an early age. His essay placed first in the under age 11 category and won him a gift certificate for books. McCartney wrote favorably about the Queen in his essay saying that the “present day royalty rules with affection rather than force”. All you need is love indeed. He also refers to her as “our lovely young queen”. Eventually, the Queen would return the favor by knighting Sir Paul McCartney. (When you graduate, you get a graduation cap. When you’re knighted do they give you a knight cap?)

The essay was discovered by author Kevin Roach in the Read more »

What are being called previously unheard interviews with an angry John Lennon have surfaced, offering insight into what may have caused the Beatles to split. But, I remember there being a whole book put out of the Lennon Rolling Stone interview tapes. So, while they may be “unheard” by the general public, many Beatles fans, like me, have probably read the transcripts from the interview tapes.

The ex-Beatle sat down with Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner shortly after the Fab Four broke up and revealed a few home truths about the real reasons behind the split – something the four former Beatles have rarely spoken about. Wenner released the tapes for celebrated rock journalist Mikal Gilmore’s study on what tore the band apart, which appears in the upcoming issue of the publication. Read more »

Despite the false rumor that Michael Jackson was giving Paul McCartney back his Beatles songs in Jackson’s will, Paul McCartney may regain control of his songs after all.

Billboard Magazine reports that Paul McCartney may get back some of his Beatles songs in the next decade. A U.S. Copyright Act lets songwriters regain copyrights after 56 years. So, Paul McCartney could begin regaining control over songs he wrote in 1962 in the year 2018. Then, over the next 8 years, additional McCartney-penned songs may go back under his control. Nice retirement money!

The copyright act has different rules if the songwriter dies. Some of John Lennon’s song rights were up for grabs as early as 1990. It’s been reported that Lennon’s heir, Yoko Ono, struck a deal with publisher Sony/ATV so they would retain Lennon’s portion of the song publishing. That would have been Read more »

Q: Why’d the chicken cross the road? A: Because it thought it was a Beatle.

The four Beatles walked across the road outside the Abbey Road Studios, at 11.35am on August 8 1969, for the album cover photo of their last recorded album.

While brainstorming for a title and cover concept for their final album, the Beatles thought it should be something grand. They came up with “Everest” after looking a the packet of Everest cigarettes that belonged to their recording engineer Geoff Emerik. The world-famous Beatles planned to end big and and take a trip to Mount Everest to photograph themselves in front of the world-famous mountain.
