lenny bruce had a routine about how mothers are always deluded about their beloved sons: she doesn't recognize that her son is gay… "he's such a generous boy, always bringing sailors home for the night when they have nowhere to stay and letting them sleep on the sofa…"
pete best's mother on pete getting sacked:
"It’s jealousy... jealousy all the way, because Peter is the one who has the terrific following, he has built up the following in Liverpool for the Beatles. I think it was for that reason that Peter had to be got rid of, at that stage, because if it wasn’t, and they went national and international, Peter would have become the main Beatle with the others just the props."

Klaus was so emotional at the thought of the Beatles leaving that he asked to return with them to Liverpool and join the group. The sun was shining and we were sitting on some wooden planks on Talstrasse, close to the Top Ten. We were stoned and I asked John if I could become the Beatles’ bass player. He said, “Oh Klaus, Paul already bought the bass, it’s going to be him.”
well, he did get to play on working class hero, isolation. imagine, jealous guy, cold turkey, instant karma…

“My Bonnie”—it took that abbreviated title—bristles with energy and deserves to be considered nothing less than one of the best British rock and roll records of the first era, in the ranks with “Brand New Cadillac,” “Move It!” and “Shakin’ All Over.”
hahahaha!

Paul Beattie, who played the Cavern and other clubs with his own backing group, the Beats. His first Parlophone single, “I’m Comin’ Home,” was a big brassy number with a honking sax break and heavy echo on Beattie’s deep baritone Elvis-like voice. Though derivative (and actually quite strange), it was arguably the best British rock and roll record made to date. This was virgin territory for George Martin—a genuine rock singer, from the north, with a name that didn’t need changing, and he’d managed to produce something unusual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPF7n7JTQJIthis was 1957. bit of a joe meek sound there.

"During his get-togethers with Paul they learned a piece called “Bourrée” from the 1957 Chet Atkins LP Hi-Fi in Focus. Actually a Bach composition for the lute, Atkins did it as a guitar two-hander, melody and bass simultaneous" www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdXn3HzmhZs

"One day Paul was in the playground with Keith Ritson (“Ritter”)—a boy his own age but now in the Lower Sixth—when George wandered along and Paul introduced them. For no reason, or a reason Paul never knew, George suddenly head-butted Ritter. “Young George was a bit of a terror—him and his quiff,” says Paul. “We were all talking and this guy must have said something to annoy him, so bouff, he nutted him.”"
sort of fits in with all those surly, whinging songs he wrote.

maybe i've maligned the man (or maybe not). a few pages after the extract above lewisohn goes into great detail about the release of little richard's records in england. he says the first single (long tall sally/tutti frutti) was released in late 1956. wiki however say this about tutti frutti, released in november 1955:
"'Tutti Frutti' became an instant hit, reaching No. 2 on Billboard's Rhythm and Blues Best-Sellers chart and crossing over to the pop charts in both the United States and overseas in the United Kingdom. It reached No. 17 on the Billboard Top 100 in America and No. 29 on the British singles chart, eventually selling a million copies"

don't know how far you can trust lewihson. he's talking about 1956 here:
"The date was on or soon after April 17, and Quarry Bank friend Michael Hill had just returned from an Easter school exchange visit to the Netherlands, during which he’d gone into an Amsterdam record store and bought a Belgian 78 by Little Richard, “Long Tall Sally” c/w “Slippin’ and Slidin’.” Little Richard wasn’t known in Britain, so when Hill said to his mate “I’ve got a record by a singer who’s better than Elvis,” John—who’d clearly fallen head-over-heels for Presley—insisted (probably in two short words) that this simply wasn’t possible“
wiki have little richard in the uk charts in 1955 (no. 29) with tutti frutti. long tall sally was released in march (in america) and ended up at no. 3 in england. to say richard was unknown in britain is sloppy research.
i get the feeling lewisohn knows everything about the beatles but not much about anybody else.
