WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS This collection would not be possible without A little help from my friends. So now I would like to thank the following for contributing to the cause. THANKS TO ALL OF THE COLLECTORS AND DEALERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CAUSE!!!! Page 238
TO THE BEATLES, GEORGE MARTIN AND BRIAN EPSTEIN: I have saved the best thanks for last. I would like to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU to The Beatles, George Martin and Brian Epstein. For without them none of this would be possible. The Beatles are the greatest artist of all time yesterday, today and forever! They opened countless doors for so many other artists. Paul McCartney has said that they were a very good dance hall band. I say to Paul, The Beatles built the dance hall that everyone else performs in. If Elvis is truly the King of rock n roll then The Beatles are the Gods of rock n roll. In my opinion, George Martin is the greatest producer of all time for his hard work and dedication to The Beatles music which is the greatest music thanks in part to him. He is truly the Fifth Beatle. Thanks to Brian Epstein for molding and presenting The Beatles to the world so that people would notice. He was a really good manager who had his heart dedicated to their best interests and should be in Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Are you reading this, voters? Page 239
