An Alternative View Of The Beatle Legacy is the third volume of essays of the research study BeatleMusings- an anthology of scholarship that examines the historical and musical legacy of The Beatles.
An Alternative View Of The Beatle Legacy provides “alternative perspectives” to explain the historical phenomenon of The Beatles.
For the past 50 years all of the information published and disseminated about The Beatles has focused on the historical narrative. We know the “whos” and “hows” of their story. What we don’t know is the “whys.”
An Alternative View Of The Beatle Legacy reports on what was really behind the “Paul is Dead” rumor of the death of Paul McCartney in October 1969, and who benefited from it.
An investigative report reveals the truth story of the infamous “butcher cover” when in June 1966 Capital Records released the Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow album with a bloody, extremely grotesque picture of The Beatles on the front cover.
Two essays in the research study offer alternative perspectives about the management of The Beatles by Brian Epstein, and how the decisions he made negatively impacted their artistic development. An extensive financial investigation reveals that it was only due to political corruption the Northern Songs, The Beatles’ song publishing company, was allowed to go public in 1965 on the London Stock Exchange.
An Alternative View Of The Beatle Legacy concludes with a series of research reports on the “esoteric” side of the Beatle legacy: What do the Tarot cards say about The Beatles? Were The Beatles “Shamans-high priests?”
The final essay proposes that the meaning of the Beatle legacy is not the “music of Lennon-McCartney” and the 27 Number One songs- but rather- the musical and historical legacy of both Ringo and George. While in the conventional view The Beatles were referred to as “John, Paul, George and Ringo,” from an esoteric perspective, the order is Ringo, George, Paul and John- Ringo being the most important; John the least.
