Transcripts From Beatles Tell-All Set For Release

Beatles fans are in for a treat when the unedited transcripts from the revelatory 1983 insider tell-all, The Love You Make: An Insider’s Story Of The Beatles, are published next year. The expose was written by Peter Brown — the band’s key assistant, late-’60s fixer, and de facto personal manager — along with co-author Steven Gaines.

The book, which featured numerous interviews from members of the band, relatives, and the most intimate people in their inner circle, was ultimately seen as a betrayal, after Brown and Gaines focused on the more salacious aspects of the Beatles’ personal lives — including Paul McCartney’s alleged illegitimate children, John Lennon‘s drug use, late-manager Brian Epstein‘s blackmailing by a homosexual lover, and George Harrison‘s early-’70s affair with Ringo Starr‘s wife Maureen Starkey.

Steven Gaines posted a message on Facebook about the upcoming tome, stating: “Even if you didn’t like the book (hated the book) the raw transcripts are fascinating. 99 percent of the interviews were done in the two months before John was murdered. I promise it’s a great read.”
