Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fifth Beatle is the untold true story of Brian Epstein, the visionary manager who discovered and guided The Beatles-from their gigs in a tiny cellar in Liverpool to unprecedented international stardom. Yet more than merely the story of "The Man Who Made The Beatles," The Fifth Beatle is an uplifting, tragic, and ultimately inspirational human story about the struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Brian himself died painfully lonely at the young age of thirty-two, having helped The Beatles prove through "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" that pop music could be an inspirational art form. He was homosexual when it was a felony to be so in the United Kingdom, Jewish at a time of anti-Semitism, and from Liverpool when it was considered just a dingy port town.

Download or read book In My Life written by Debbie Geller and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without the determination, magnetism, vision, good manners, respectable clothes and financial security of Brian Epstein, no one would ever have heard of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. In Liverpool, in December 1961, Brian Epstein met the Beatles in his small office and signed a management deal. The rest may be history, but it's a history that Epstein created, along with a blueprint for all pop groups since.Out of the public eye, Epstein was flamboyant and charismatic. He drank, gambled compulsively and took drugs to excess. But people remember his wit, charm and capacity to inspire affection and loyalty. That's when he wasn't depressed, even suicidal. Epstein was Jewish in a society filled with anti-Semitism. He was homosexual at a time when it was a crime to be gay, and from his teenage days to the end of his life he suffered arrests, beatings and blackmail-all of which had to be kept secret.This book tells the story of Epstein's complicated life through the reminiscences of his friends and family. Based on dozens of interviews-with Paul McCartney, George Martin and Marianne Faithfull, among others-plus many of Epstein's personal diaries, this book uncovers the truth behind the enigmatic young man who unintentionally caused a cultural revolution-and in the process destroyed himself.
Download or read book Standing in the Wings written by Joe Flannery and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Flannery has been described as the 'Secret Beatle', and as the business associate and partner of Brian Epstein, he became an integral part of The Beatles' management team during their rise to fame in the early 1960s. Standing in the Wings is Flannery's account of this fascinating era, which included the controversial dismissal of Pete Best from the group (nothing to do with London, but matters back in Liverpool), Brian Epstein's fragility, and the importance of the Star Club in Hamburg. This book is not simply a biography, as it also considers issues to do with sexuality in 1950s Liverpool, the vagaries of the music business at that time and the hazards of personal management in the 'swinging sixties'. At its heart, Standing in the Wings provides an in-depth look at Flannery's personal and professional relationship with Epstein and his close links with the Fab Four. Shortly before John Lennon's murder in 1980, it was Flannery who was one of the last people in the UK to talk to the great man. Indeed, Flannery remains one of the few 'Beatle people' in Liverpool to have the respect of the surviving Beatles, and this is reflected in this timely and revealing book.

Book excerpt: The Beatles ruled the musical world for much of the Sixties thanks to the inspired management of Brian Epstein, who found a rough-and-ready group playing small clubs in and around Liverpool. Within five years he developed them into the group chosen to represent the United Kingdom in the first ever satellite broadcast to the world!This book is an affectionate and penetrating retelling of that amazing story, laced with a huge amount of material never previously released. For the time ever, this book tells the true and incredible story of Seltaeb, the company set up to sell Beatles merchandise around the world. As a result of dreadful errors, caused by stupidity and arrogance, the deal which set up Seltaeb cost the Beatles untold millions during the decade.And those mistakes and those lost millions led directly to the problems and conflicts which caused the break-up of the Beatles at the end of the decade. And along that painful road came the alleged death of Paul McCartney in November 1966 and the mysterious death of Brian Epstein in August 1967.........A tragic death, a brutal murder, various human cockroaches and The Beatles - "For No One". The story of the Beatles rise to super-stardom and their descent into a petty squabbling break-up, and a decline highlighted by tragic death and squalid murder and a host of unanswered questions.Interviews with people directly involved in the Seltaeb debacle, which was the source of many of the problems, illustrates how completely the established texts have got the story wrong. It all comes down to money, and it is a sad, squalid but at times glorious story, particularly poignant before February 9th 2014 is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.
