Geeesh, what a mess from the start. And I thought Yoko was the buzzkill for the band.

Marketing madness apparently, was with the Fab Four since their inception.

Thank You for sharing- are you a Lawyer?

I love reading about these types of situations/perspectives. As music lovers, it is good to read, the how(s) and why(s) things went down in Rock history.

The Beatles and The Rolling Stones faced very similar situations via Allen Klein. Sure there were "bandits" that took whatever they wanted from these guys. Still, we will always have the Music!

BTW, all members past and present are rich beyond our wildest dreams.

My pleasure - not a lawyer but work with the ABA (American Bar Association) and find these pieces where law & popular culture intersect fascinating.

Happy listening...
