The Beatles have been performing together for over six years when the fan frenzy Beatlemania broke out. Everywhere the Beatles went in public they had to be sequestered. Even when the Beatles were relaxing at home the fans camped out on their lawns. The Beatles were not making a lot of money in the early sixties because of the United Kingdom's taxes were around 80 to 90 percent, and there were lots of pay-outs, and percentages to sub contractors who promoted the Beatles concerts, and merchandising. This didn't included the record companies' or Brian Epstein's percentages. The three movie deals with the Beatles were pennies compare to todays movie productions. The Beatles were stuck in a musical loop making only silly love songs, and their public persona had to be controlled, and clean...
By 1964, John was spiraling out of control with a short temper. He felt he had lost control of his bands earnings, and future, and because of his negative feelings, he suffered from depression, and anxiety with drinking binges that was contributing to his weight gain. Everything John believed that was negative about the Beatles was contributing to his marital problems. John hated the Beatles, and decided to do something about it. John wanted the Beatles to become independent musicians without the name Beatles. John wanted his bandmate's to take total control of their future. Appear in public as they wanted, write, and record whatever songs they wanted, and cut-out the the appearances, and concerts as the Beatles. He just wanted a 9 to 5 job.
On a Wednesday morning before the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, John forces a vote amongst his bandmate's to change the music, and the bands direction. Ringo sides with John, George refuses to vote, and Paul said no. Ringo's vote gave John the power to break-up the Beatles, and go independent. John announced the break-up of the Beatles. In the winter of 1965 in Hyde's Park London, England in a meeting, John dissolves the Beatles, and out of the ashes, John renames his group Sgt. Pepper's, and Paul was given the Beatles flagship as the Beatles band. In consequence-"Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lonely Hearts means someone is missing. Paul!
Starting from 1964, and continuing to the 1970's, the Beatles battle it out their differences in their songs, and on their album covers, and on every photo, and publications that went public to promote them. It is in cryptic form as steganography. My book exposes, and unmasks all the hidden secrets in the Beatles music, photographs, and record sleeves from 1964 to the 1970's. It's the dark side of the Beatles the world has never seen or heard.
