Book description
This is Brian Epstein's own account of his extraordinary life and,
inevitably, it is the story of the Beatles, the greatest pop group of
the twentieth-century. What was the secret of Brian Epstein's
management of the Beatles, how did he guide a group from Liverpool to
shake the world of popular music? Within two years of making their
first record they were the biggest group in the world, how Brian
Epstein achieved this is in this book. He frankly acknowledges his
mistakes and weaknesses while identifying those factors that led to
his achievements. Also included in the book are 33 photographs from
Robert Freeman that provide revealing glimpses of the Beatles on their
way to phenomenal success.
Brian Epstein was the manager of the Beatles, as well as a host of
other acts that included Gerry & the Pacemakers and Cilla Black.
Paul McCartney said of Epstein: "If anyone was the fifth Beatle, it
was Brian". He died in 1967.
