Book Details

A Capitol Juggling Act



That Turned Out Right

How was the seemingly ridiculous decision by Capitol made to reject the Beatles? Which of three possible Capitol executives successfully managed to reverse that decision, bringing the fame and fortune of these artists to the Capitol label?

Many were the bumps in the ride taken by Capitol and the Beatles during the years of their greatest productivity, none totally lacking in humorous aspects as related by the author, a Capitol "insider."
