Paul had no other alternative than to have to sue the other 3. As time went on the other three had a fall out with Klein also. Thank God for Mick Jagger for giving Paul the heads up.
Paul had actually brought Mick Jagger to a meeting to tell the other three how bad Klein was, but when they showed up, Klein was already there. This spooked Mick and he just said something along the lines of “Well he’s alright if you like that sort of thing.”
Paul's decision to sue them was moronic and cost them millions. He's done a phenomenal job of setting the narrative and deflecting from that fact. Don't believe me? Add up their record sales (solo and Beatle) from 1971-1974 and then you get a number.You'll have to separate the sales per year. Now use compound interest at 7% and add that for every year. The difference in the two numbers you get at the end is what his suit cost them. Not to mention the lawyers fees and the aggravation of living on an allowance for four years.
Paul was totally correct in what he did. Klein would have taken everything that The Beatles had worked so hard for.. John admitted that Paul was right in the action he took against his friends in The Beatles... I'm so glad that John and Paul made up and were friends again before John was so cruelly taken from us...😢 And In The End The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make.... ❤
Paul was willing to compromise and have it not be Eastman. He recognized the optics of that as looking like nepotism or whatever. He was only adamant that it could not be Klein. The other three were stubborn-with John and George full of contempt, and Ringo willing to go along with it. Ultimately, Paul was proven right. John and George could be super hostile despite the way they’re made into saints now. Paul was more decent and deferential than he’s ever given credit for. People resent him for being controlling, but he’s the only reason we got Sgt. Pepper or any albums after it.
00:07 - must have hurt for John to admit Paul was right and he and the others were wrong. I understand he didn't want to "go into the details of it"...
I can understand why the other 3 were reluctant to be managed by Paul's father in law but since Macca was so opposed to Klein I would have thought that they could have found someone else. Klein was vile, didn't give a shit about his clients only enriching himself so Paul was correct in not having anything to do with him and he had no option but to sue the other 3.

Nothing is Real does a good job of explaining much of the nuance that was involved in the Allen Klien story. It seems that many of the same people who thought it absurd to use Yoko as a scapegoat for the breakup of the Beatles now like to believe Klien as the scapegoat.
Can I get a yellow submarine album video bc the story is rlly interesting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 The breakup was messy and it didn’t help that there was already fractions in the band starting in the get back sessions Plus also Brian’s death still had a looming shadow over the band
Boy you just stepped right over the fact that John several months before Paul made that statement had quit the band. You know I'm 74 and I do have to say it's mind blowing to me how history is in the short few years of the Beatles which was a long time I mean it's what 60 years now that being said how many of the facts are misconstrued. I've read a few books but every one of them are biased and one way or another. You know the interesting thing is you can go down the rabbit hole with the Beatles and hear these questions answered in their own mouth. Being interviewed various ways. That's why I find it interesting that RUclipsrs get so mini facts wrong
When i hear about all these manger's and bad deals.. for most bands, I think about Peter Grant. He may have been "tough" but he was fair (correct me if I'm wrong) he made sure Zeppelin received most of the money and split it 4 ways...then his 20% Grant never laet other lawyers push him around or Zeppelin. I don't think ive read or heard Zeppelin having money problems.. amongst themselves ir with record labels.. except for the song reminds the same film, during msg concert $250 grand was nicked. Peter was a a brilliant manager and he was looking out for the 4 unlike Klein and most mangers who are looking out for themselves. Paul suing the Beatles saved their asses really. Paul was smart to do what he did.👍🏻🎸 The Beatles are still the greatest band, my favourite.
It's complicated! George never lost his Harrisongs, and for Lennon/McCartney compositions, “Under US copyright law, for works published before 1978 the author can reclaim copyrights assigned to a publisher after 56 years.” That allows Paul to reclaim his 50% right to their songs, but as John is dead his 50% remains in Sony's hands rather than going to The Estate. It only applies to the United States so everywhere else the ownership is still in Sony's hands even for Paul’s work. Add to this that the last Lennon/McCartney song was copyrighted 1970, so would not revert until 2026, but McCartney started legal proceedings in 2015 and settled with Sony in 2017, and as it was an out of court settlement, we the public don't know the exact details, just a statement that he generally got his rights back.
Didn't Michael Jackson end up with the rights to the Beatles early music, if so the Beatles still lost. Music industry, what a rip off for the artist who does all the work.
Yeah, and ironically that was Paul’s fault. He suggested to Jackson to get into music publishing, to which Jackson replied ok, I’ll buy the Beatles’ songs. Paul thought Jackson was joking, until 1985 when Jackson did exactly that.
He's getting it back due to a change in the us copyright law . Anyways he sued Sony over it and appears to have stuck a favourable deal with Sony since they settled it out of court.
I'd like to think that Paul & The Estate owns all their copyrights now, that would be the moral thing. But we live in capitalism so it's possible they have just been well compensated for it by Sony. Private agreement so we can't find out till after Paul's gone: hold that chat for the 2040s.
You left out the Northern Songs debacle where Paul bought more shares behind John's back; and foolishly refused to buy their early song rights ! That was the beginning of John not trusting Paul's money decisions.
I just wonder, of everything that Paul got from winning the lawsuit (if it was the rest of all the the earnings they had made through the years) “Did he split it ($) with the rest of the Beatles, or keep it for himself ???
Paul McCartney was absolutely right and doing what he did because Alan Klein didn’t represent the Beatles very well as did Brian Epstein but one thing I think Alan Klein did you very right was the red and blue albums which are fantastic.
John and George could write good music but that was it. They were dumb as rocks when it came to leading the group and business. Even McCartney wasn't all that great about business, but he was a good judgement of character!
Wrong on a few facts. For one thing the other three did not want Paul's relatives representing them. Which was their first mistake. They had a fantastic and long reputation in the industry. And Klein was known as a thief. I do not believe I don't want to check right now but I think that meeting you talking about did not happen before and if it did there was no resentment about the other Beatles about that. They couldn't blame their representation because they didn't have the money after all
John IS Documented in an interview that Paul Did Not do this for the Collective Four but for HIS OWN SAKE! After John Walked Out on The Beatles Permanently, it is Documented that Paul Succumbed to Alcoholism until his Wife Linda Helped him through it. This is what his Beautiful Song "Maybe I'm Amazed" is about!!
you got almost everything wrong. the receiver looked after accounts only klein REMAINED as the head of apple , klien left in late 73 . the beatles agreements were not ended officially until early 1975. paul is kind of full of crap, klien as manager of apple could never "take it" all he wasnt one of the partners. but paul wanted his way and tried to 1 end apple and 2 end the beatles. he managed the second and failed on the first. which is all kinds of important down the road. apple would be a huge money maker for the ex fabs that paul was trying to end. thankfully he lost .
Klein was horrible quite far from adorable known for doing things To the stones and Jagger told Macca Sooooo he said "stay away either that or you will pay" Macca understood that this man was certainly up to no good. But as he told the boys of the fact a noise came from behind! Macca got his revenge though, he was right and John admitted that in his Johnesque way.
You omitted one fact...John was the one who announced he was leaving the Beatles and, for his own (or Oh No's) reasons, allowed Paul to be blamed for the breakup. Most people (including myself) believe that if it wasn't for the toxic influence of "Oh No" on John, the Beatles would never have permanently dissolved the band. Paul was the last person who would have desired that to occur.
Yeah? Have you not read one of George Harrison’s interviews where he said that it WASN’T Yoko’s doing about the split (including Maureen, Patti and Linda in that as well)? George pointed out that they had never had any time away from each other (longer than six months) and THAT was why they split.
They blamed Paul for the breakup because he announced he was leaving the band to the press. John did it privately because Paul himself and Allen Klein asked him to.
I HAVE 2 CALENDARS IN FRONT OF ME. ONE IS FROM SEPTEMBER 1966 THE OTHER IS FROM NOVEMBER 1966 SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH 1966 OR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9 1966? LOOK AT THE BACK COVER OF SGT PEPPER WHAT IS GEORGE POINTING AT ? MCCARTNEY NEVER DIED I DON'T BELIEVE IN PID.
This is a lode of nonsense. I get it, we all love the Beatles and want them to be the heroes of the story. It is so much easier to point fingers at Klein than it is to accept that they could be cruel to each other. It's a convenient answer. Take John's quote at the top. The primary reason he is saying this is because the Beatles money is frozen. Their money was frozen for over four years. From 1971 to the end of 1974, all four of them are on an allowance. The biggest music stars in the world live on an allowance like children. meanwhile their frozen money can not be used to make more money through investments. Which costs them 10's of millions of dollars. To get that money unfrozen, they have to make a deal. Paul will not make that deal until Klein is out of the way. So Lennon has to throw Klein under the bus to get the wheels started so they can make the deal and unfreeze their money.
good summation. Their business partnership was created in the early days when they were young, single guys trying to get a break but by 1970 it was no longer fit for purpose & they lost their cash flow by pouring so much cash into the utopian dream of Apple.
Paul had no other alternative than to have to sue the other 3. As time went on the other three had a fall out with Klein also. Thank God for Mick Jagger for giving Paul the heads up.

00:07 - must have hurt for John to admit Paul was right and he and the others were wrong. I understand he didn't want to "go into the details of it"...
McCartney bought the Beatles song catalogue in 2017. And in the end, the love he forsook, was equal to the money they all took.

if only sam cooke were alive by then to tell them about alan...
There was a rumor Klein had a hit put on Sam Cooke via some wise guys.
Cooke definitely was killed in mysterious circumstances. It wouldn’t surprise me if he, Klein, was a party to it.
Brian Epstein's death isn't cut and dry either. Klein had been trying to get him to sell him the Beatles contract for some time
He had to.
That last George song… can anyone remember the name?
I just wonder, of everything that Paul got from winning the lawsuit (if it was the rest of all the the earnings they had made through the years) “Did he split it ($) with the rest of the Beatles, or keep it for himself ???
You know if back in 1964 if they would have asked the Beatles: "Which one of you will sue the others in the future?" they would have all said Paul.
