In 1970 the Beatles no longer existed as a band. Ringo, Paul, George and John had released their solo albums and it seemed that the four would not get back together for a long time, but the band was dragging financial and commercial problems that had not been fully resolved since the death of Brian Epstein. And in a 3-on-1 dispute to choose a new manager and solve apple's problems, Paul McCartney had to sue his bandmates. This is the story.

Paul had no other alternative than to have to sue the other 3. As time went on the other three had a fall out with Klein also. Thank God for Mick Jagger for giving Paul the heads up.

@jameswright2209 4 ай бұрын

Paul had actually brought Mick Jagger to a meeting to tell the other three how bad Klein was, but when they showed up, Klein was already there. This spooked Mick and he just said something along the lines of “Well he’s alright if you like that sort of thing.”

Paul's decision to sue them was moronic and cost them millions. He's done a phenomenal job of setting the narrative and deflecting from that fact. Don't believe me? Add up their record sales (solo and Beatle) from 1971-1974 and then you get a number.You'll have to separate the sales per year. Now use compound interest at 7% and add that for every year. The difference in the two numbers you get at the end is what his suit cost them. Not to mention the lawyers fees and the aggravation of living on an allowance for four years.

Paul was willing to compromise and have it not be Eastman. He recognized the optics of that as looking like nepotism or whatever. He was only adamant that it could not be Klein. The other three were stubborn-with John and George full of contempt, and Ringo willing to go along with it. Ultimately, Paul was proven right. John and George could be super hostile despite the way they’re made into saints now. Paul was more decent and deferential than he’s ever given credit for. People resent him for being controlling, but he’s the only reason we got Sgt. Pepper or any albums after it.

Paul was totally correct in what he did. Klein would have taken everything that The Beatles had worked so hard for.. John admitted that Paul was right in the action he took against his friends in The Beatles... I'm so glad that John and Paul made up and were friends again before John was so cruelly taken from us...😢 And In The End The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make.... ❤

I can understand why the other 3 were reluctant to be managed by Paul's father in law but since Macca was so opposed to Klein I would have thought that they could have found someone else. Klein was vile, didn't give a shit about his clients only enriching himself so Paul was correct in not having anything to do with him and he had no option but to sue the other 3.

When i hear about all these manger's and bad deals.. for most bands, I think about Peter Grant. He may have been "tough" but he was fair (correct me if I'm wrong) he made sure Zeppelin received most of the money and split it 4 ways...then his 20% Grant never laet other lawyers push him around or Zeppelin. I don't think ive read or heard Zeppelin having money problems.. amongst themselves ir with record labels.. except for the song reminds the same film, during msg concert $250 grand was nicked. Peter was a a brilliant manager and he was looking out for the 4 unlike Klein and most mangers who are looking out for themselves. Paul suing the Beatles saved their asses really. Paul was smart to do what he did.👍🏻🎸 The Beatles are still the greatest band, my favourite.

Nothing is Real does a good job of explaining much of the nuance that was involved in the Allen Klien story. It seems that many of the same people who thought it absurd to use Yoko as a scapegoat for the breakup of the Beatles now like to believe Klien as the scapegoat.

@stephen8623 4 ай бұрын

You omitted one fact...John was the one who announced he was leaving the Beatles and, for his own (or Oh No's) reasons, allowed Paul to be blamed for the breakup. Most people (including myself) believe that if it wasn't for the toxic influence of "Oh No" on John, the Beatles would never have permanently dissolved the band. Paul was the last person who would have desired that to occur.

Yeah? Have you not read one of George Harrison’s interviews where he said that it WASN’T Yoko’s doing about the split (including Maureen, Patti and Linda in that as well)? George pointed out that they had never had any time away from each other (longer than six months) and THAT was why they split.

Boy you just stepped right over the fact that John several months before Paul made that statement had quit the band. You know I'm 74 and I do have to say it's mind blowing to me how history is in the short few years of the Beatles which was a long time I mean it's what 60 years now that being said how many of the facts are misconstrued. I've read a few books but every one of them are biased and one way or another. You know the interesting thing is you can go down the rabbit hole with the Beatles and hear these questions answered in their own mouth. Being interviewed various ways. That's why I find it interesting that KZfaqrs get so mini facts wrong

Wrong on a few facts. For one thing the other three did not want Paul's relatives representing them. Which was their first mistake. They had a fantastic and long reputation in the industry. And Klein was known as a thief. I do not believe I don't want to check right now but I think that meeting you talking about did not happen before and if it did there was no resentment about the other Beatles about that. They couldn't blame their representation because they didn't have the money after all

Klein was horrible quite far from adorable known for doing things To the stones and Jagger told Macca Sooooo he said "stay away either that or you will pay" Macca understood that this man was certainly up to no good. But as he told the boys of the fact a noise came from behind! Macca got his revenge though, he was right and John admitted that in his Johnesque way.

This is a lode of nonsense. I get it, we all love the Beatles and want them to be the heroes of the story. It is so much easier to point fingers at Klein than it is to accept that they could be cruel to each other. It's a convenient answer. Take John's quote at the top. The primary reason he is saying this is because the Beatles money is frozen. Their money was frozen for over four years. From 1971 to the end of 1974, all four of them are on an allowance. The biggest music stars in the world live on an allowance like children. meanwhile their frozen money can not be used to make more money through investments. Which costs them 10's of millions of dollars. To get that money unfrozen, they have to make a deal. Paul will not make that deal until Klein is out of the way. So Lennon has to throw Klein under the bus to get the wheels started so they can make the deal and unfreeze their money.
