Footnotes

Provenance:
Property From The Collection Of The Late Derek Taylor.

Derek Taylor was a journalist, author, record producer but is probably best known as press officer for the Beatles. In early 1964, whilst working for the Daily Express newspaper and ghostwriting a column for George Harrison, Brian Epstein hired Derek as the Beatles' publicist. He accompanied them on their first US tour that summer.
He moved to the US in 1965, setting up his own PR company and, working with groups such as the Beach Boys and the Byrds, became highly successful. In early 1968 he retuned to England as press officer for the newly-formed Apple Corps. He left in late 1970, following the Beatles' break-up and went to work for WEA. After a few years he was back in the US, as a VP for Warner Bros. Records.
Things came full circle when, in the early 1990s, he re-joined Apple, working on the Anthology project, amongst others.
