MBE - The Official Brian Epstein Web Site
Rated • 1 review • music, beatles • brianepstein.com
Welcome to BrianEpstein.com - the Official Website dedicated to celebrating the life and achievements of Beatles manager Brian Epstein - a man whose prescience, taste, vision and passion has left an indelible impact on our planet.
TWO GOOD KNIGHTS STILL DON'T MAKE OUR DAY!
It is of enormous pride to us fans that in addition to the Beatles as a band - and John Lennon as a solo performer - the Hall Of Fame rightly includes two Knights of the British (and Beatles) Realm - Sir George Martin and Sir Paul McCartney.
And one belated day - they will induct George Harrison and Ringo Starr for their solo work too.
But there is one other name who also belongs in the Hall Of Fame. Brian Epstein.
As has been the case very single year since the start of the Hall of Fame - his name has NEVER EVEN BEEN INCLUDED on the list of non-performers selected by the Hall's Nominating Committee to be considered for induction.
So he hasn't had a prayer of being inducted so far.
Actually - without your help and the help of millions of Beatles fans - he hasn't got a prayer period.
He's history. Literally.
Very few people even give a damn.
Certainly no one on the Hall of Fame Nominating Committee thinks he's important enough.
By the way - we're talking about THE MAN WHO GAVE THE WORLD THE BEATLES!
While selection for induction into the Hall of Fame should certainly not be a popularity contest - there has to be some way in which such a grave oversight can be respectfully brought to the attention of those who have the power to remedy this travesty.
The way we are doing it is by collecting signatures on a petition.
So if you love the Beatles - and are grateful that they ever touched your life - please give 30 seconds of your time and touch this sentence.
It's a small way of saluting the memory of the man who gave us something very special.

Sir George Henry Martin CBE (born 3 January 1926 in Highbury, London, England) is sometimes referred to as "the fifth Beatle"--a title that he owes to his work as producer of almost all of The Beatles' records.
In recognition of his services to the music industry and popular culture, he was made a Knight Bachelor of the British Empire in 1996. He is also the father of producer Giles Martin, and actor Gregory Paul Martin.
. The Beatles auditioned for Martin on 6 June 1962, in studio three at the Abbey Road studios. Ron Richards and his engineer Norman Smith recorded four songs, which Martin (who was not present during the recording) listened to at the end of the session. The verdict was not promising, however, as Richards complained about Pete Best's drumming, and Martin thought their original songs were simply not good enough. Martin asked the individual Beatles if there was anything they personally didn't like, to which Harrison replied, "I don't like your tie". That was the turning point, according to Smith, as McCartney and Lennon joined in with jokes and comic wordplay that made Martin think that he should sign them to a contract for their wit alone.
Martin's musical expertise helped fill the gaps between the Beatles' raw talent and the sound they wanted to achieve. Most of the orchestral arrangements and instrumentation (as well as frequent keyboard parts on the early records) on Beatles' records were written or performed by Martin in collaboration with the band.

Why The Beatles
Rated • 2 reviews • britpop, beatles • att.net
Allen J. Wiener takes a look at "why the Beatles?":
Could any other group draw a crowd as big as the one that congregated around "The Beatles Anthology"? Probably not, or at least not for six to 10 hours of visuals and sound, particularly since the Beatles created it out of little more than a bunch of old recordings and film clips - unused "rough drafts", if you will. But then, the Beatles were never like anyone else. From the very beginning they looked, sounded, sang and acted differently from all who had gone before. Only Elvis had so personally revolutionized pop music.
There can be no doubt that the Beatles are exactly what Billboard's Joel Whitburn has called them -- "The world's #1 rock group" -- and his facts and figures demonstrate their Olympian status: more U.S. number one singles, albums, and gold singles than any act in history; second only to Elvis Presley on Billboard's list of top 100 singles artists since 1955; second in total top 10 hits; top album artists of the rock era; and by far the biggest sellers in the 1960s, all within a recording career of less than eight years. In that brief time, the Beatles released some 213 songs, about 26 per year, something that would overwhelm contemporary artists. And most of those songs have stood the test of time quite well...read more here home.att.net/~chuckayoub/the_beatles_lasting_impact.htm [home.att.net/~chuckayoub/the_beatles_lasting_impact.htm]

Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
"Free as a Bird" was originally a piece of music that John Lennon composed, but never completed. The original Lennon recording was made circa 1977 in New York City. Yoko Ono gave a basic recording of the unfinished music to the remaining Beatles (Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) who reunited to finalize and record the completed song.
The Beatles' overdubs and production were recorded between February and March 1994 in Sussex, England. According to interviews, the group treated the song as though Lennon had gone on holiday and had left the song for them to complete. The original demo had to be stretched and cleaned up, as Lennon's voice was notably shaky and slightly out of time.
The song features a classic Beatles arrangement, layered with drums, guitars (acoustic and electric), bass guitar, piano, and harmonized Beatle voices.
It ends with a slightly psychedelic coda including a strummed ukulele (an instrument for which McCartney and Harrison have expressed fondness[1]) and the backward voice of John Lennon. The message, when played backward, is "Turned out nice again", which was the catch-phrase of George Formby, whom Harrison and Lennon admired. This line has been noticed by many fans as it sounds like it's saying 'made by John Lennon'. Most fans believed this was intended to be the case, until it was revealed it was in fact simply the phrase 'Turned out nice again' being played backwards. According to McCartney, the result was unintentional and was discovered only after the surviving Beatles completed the single and reviewed the result...
