We're crossing our fingers for the future plans

I'm actually trying to take this a stage further, but I don't know if the plans will come off - they go beyond this website. If it works out I'll let you all know.

I have no idea if what I am about to say is valid - but it seems to me that Paul McCartney might interested in knowing and/or meeting this man. Paul seems to be the main caretaker of The Beatles' legacy and history - and he just might want to make a connection. Certifying how Brian Epstein first became interested in The Beatles seems to be an item Apple would want to document for itself.

No idea how to get that done other than by contacting Apple offices ...]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:37:14 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/yesterday-and-today/raymond-jones/#p11377 Yesterday... and today http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/yesterday-and-today/raymond-jones/#p11377 I'd imagine the original My Bonnie that he bought off Epstein would be worth tens of thousands.

This is a bit of an exclusive - I interviewed Ray last month on the phone and via email. There'd always been a bit of a question mark over whether he even existed, mainly because Alistair Taylor (Brian Epstein's assistant) claimed to have made the whole story up. So I was a bit skeptical at first, but it soon became apparent that his story stood up. I'm really grateful to Ray for being so helpful and generous with sharing his memories and photographs.
