Derek Taylor, Part One

In May 1963, Derek Taylor was sent to review a Beatles concert, an event that spun his world off its axis. 

For the next 34 years, he would be connected to the band, even as he went from working for them in London to being a free man in Los Angeles.

August 23rd - Part One

Looking through everything the Beatles managed to get done in the sixties, there is one date that means more than any other - August 23rd, of course.
