Alistair Taylor -- Brian Epstein's Mr. Fixit -- has died

Цитата
Alistair Taylor - personal assistant to Brian Epstein (1960-1967) and General Manager of Apple (1967-1969) has passed away in England. He was an integral member of the Beatles' management team throughout their career.

In recent years Alistair became a much-loved guest speaker at fan conventions in the UK and USA - sharing his affectionate memories of the Beatles and Brian Epstein.

He died peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday June 9th after a short bronchial illness. He was just two weeks short of his 69th birthday. He is survived by his widow Lesley - to whom he'd been married for 45 years. Alistair and Lesley did not have children.

A memorial webpage has been set up at http://www.AlistairTaylor.com/

Fans who wish to express their condolences may write to condolences@AlistairTaylor.com. All messages will be passed directly to to Lesley Taylor, Alistair's widow. (You can also post your memories of Alistair Taylor on a special message board here. These messages will also be sent to Lesley Taylor.)

Some Taylor trivia:


He accompanied Brian Epstein to the Cavern on Nov. 9, 1963, to see the Beatles for the first time.

His signature -- and not Brian's -- was on the first management contract between the Beatles and Brian Epstein.

You'll recall the famous story of Raymond Jones, the person who was said to have come in Brian's record store and requested the "My Bonnie" record? In his book "A Secret History," Alistair Taylor reveals the story was a lie -- HE made the name up.

He became general manager of Apple after Brian's death at the personal invitation of John Lennon.

Ironically, he was also one of the first people sacked from Apple by Allen Klein. John and Paul refused to answer his calls after he was fired.

He was pictured in an ad for Apple, designed by Paul, as a one-man band wearing a bowler hat. A copy of the ad, signed by Taylor, was the only mention of him in the Anthology book.

On the day of his death, he had planned to tape an introduction for the gay-community tribute to Brian Epstein being held soon in San Francisco.

Alistair and Paul met up a few years ago at a McCartney concert and they posed for a photo together backstage.

Beatles Mr Fix It dies at the age of 68

ALISTAIR Taylor, the man known as the Beatles Mr Fix It, has died.

The 68-year-old played a key role in the music career of the Fab Four.

He died at his home in Derbyshire yesterday.

Mr Taylor was dubbed Mr Fix It by Beatles manager Brian Epstein and the band members themselves.

He earned the title by always being able to iron out the details for the musicians, from hiring a limousine to organising holidays.

Born in Runcorn, Cheshire, he started work for NEMS record store in Liverpool and came to the attention of Mr Epstein.

Eventually he became his right hand man.

He was there when the Beatles signed their contracts and went with Mr Epstein to hear the band play at the Cavern in 1961.

One of his triumphs was resolving the copyright issues around the photographs of famous faces on Peter Blake's cover for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Louise Collier, manager of The Beatles Story in Liverpool, said: "I am very sad to hear that he has passed away. He was very much part of the Beatles story."

Goodbye to Beatles' Mr FixitGoodbye to Beatles' Mr Fixit


Beatles widow Yoko Ono has paid a final tribute to the man who helped launch the Fab Four to stardom.


Yoko, who was married to John Lennon, sent a bouquet of lilies in memory of Alistair Taylor, who died last week.

Mr Taylor, who lived at Darley Dale, was the right-hand man of the Fab Four and became known as their Mr Fixit.

His widow, Lesley, said she was delighted with the floral tribute. "It was the most wonderful bouquet I have ever seen, and Yoko had insisted that they should be pure white."

Mr Taylor arranged flights, loaned money, and bought houses and cars for the Beatles.

He helped create the cult of Beatlemania and once turned down the offer of a two-and-a-half per cent share in the Beatles which would have netted him an estimated £150m.

Mr Taylor (68) died in Chesterfield Royal Hospital last Tuesday after collapsing at home.

Two years ago he contributed to an official biography, Hello Goodbye: The Story of Mr Fixit, by George Gunby.

Mr Gunby said: "He was a very nice man and we became great mates. For more than 30 years he lived in Darley Dale, where he loved the countryside, the pace of life, and most of all the people."

Alistair also contributed to a Beatles smash hit. He was sitting with Paul McCartney who said a word and then asked Alistair to say the opposite. A short time later Hello Goodbye was released.

He worked with famous musicians including James Taylor, The Four Tops, Sammy Davis Junior, Cilla Black, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Cream, Moody Blues and Billy J. Kramer.

"Mary Hopkin lived with Alistair and Lesley when she first moved to London," added Mr Gunby.

After parting with the Beatles he worked for Dick James Music where his first job was to launch Elton John.

A private service of cremation was held at Chesterfield on Tuesday.
