Special Series:  APPLE PUBLISHING (Episode 1 of a short, ongoing series)

[linebreak style=”25.png”]

In April 1967, The Beatles would form Beatles & Co., which would soon evolve into Apple Corps. The June release of “Sgt. Pepper” found The Beatles enjoying its greatest critical acclaim. But that would give way to emotional devastation in August, when The Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein (STEEN), unexpectedly passed away. Almost immediately, the band threw itself into two projects, the filming of “Magical Mystery Tour” and trying to decide what Apple Corps would become. The company’s original purpose was simply to shelter money from the dreaded “Taxman.” Largely at Paul McCartney’s urging, The Beatles’ first commercial venture with Apple Corps became Apple Publishing. Over the past decade, the UK label RPM Records has compiled five volumes of music taken from the vaults of Apple Publishing, which includes demos and alternate takes, as well as a few of the commercially released singles for which Apple held the publishing rights.
