Product Description
When we went to the Palace to get The Beatles their OBEs John Lennon had some acid with him. 'I'm gonna slip it into the Queen's tea,' he told me. 'I want to open her mind and try to get her to declare war on somewhere nice and warm so we can all go and fight on the beaches.' After Jane Asher dumped Paul McCartney he literally used to cry on my shoulder. We hit the bottle together. Hard. 'I had everything and I threw it all away,' he would say. Alistair Taylor was with The Beatles from the moment they signed with Brian Epstein. In fact, apart from the signatures of each of the Fab Four, his is the only other name on the contract. From the very beginning he travelled, ate, partied, and even holidayed with them, right up until the beginning of the group's spectacular break up. As the group's 'Mr Fixit' he settled paternity cases, bought islands, houses and estates, and took care of John, Paul, George and Ringo when their lifestyles became a little too lively.

From The Publisher
Look at the first contract with Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein, and you will see only one other name—Alistair Taylor’s. By the band’s side from the very beginning, he beheld the inception and growth of the most extraordinary musical phenomenon of the last century. He witnessed the fun, the high life, the adulation, and the music. But he was also there when things started to go wrong: when George Harrison quit the band at the height of their success and when it all started to spiral out of control. And he reveals for the first time exactly what caused their break–up. Filled with many rare photos, this is a must for fans. As Brian Epstein’s right–hand man, Alistair Taylor was with the charismatic manager when he first saw The Beatles perform at The Cavern; he later became the band’s trusted, ever–present friend. It was he who found Epstein’s body after his suicide and, in the reorganization that followed, Taylor went on to become Manager of Apple, The Beatles’ record company.
