He continued to get them bookings, until he fell out with the Beatles in 1961 over the payment of his 10% commission in a later trip to Hamburg. He personally drove the van to take the young band to Hamburg, Germany, in 1960, where they gained the vital show business experience that led to their emergence on the world stage.

Epstein immediately asked to play, as he was known for his love of gambling. [74], Epstein made numerous trips to London to visit record companies in the hope of securing a record contract, but many rejected him, including Columbia, Pye, Philips, Oriole, and most notoriously Decca. After the start of his management career, Epstein started taking stimulants, usually Preludin, which did not require a prescription at the time.

"[100], McCartney admitted that they had always signed all the contracts that Epstein presented to them without reading them first, but after Epstein's death Lennon complained, "Well, he was alright. Epstein then supposedly said, "Would you find it embarrassing if I ask you to stay in a hotel overnight?" "[166], "NEMS Enterprises" redirects here. Within months, the Beatles were international stars. [114] All of Epstein's expenses were deducted from his artists' gross income, including office rental, staff wages, travel, telephone costs, and entertaining expenses.

He also suggested to Epstein that during the flotation Lennon and McCartney should move to houses near Isherwood's own in Esher. [85], The Beatles' hectic schedule kept Epstein very busy between 1963 and 1965 with touring plus television and film work.

[62], Epstein had no prior experience of artist management, yet he had a strong influence on the band's early dress code and stage demeanor.

"[104], Before the Beatles achieved nationwide success in Britain, Epstein had permitted a company (run by his cousins and initially catering to fan club members),[105] to produce Beatles sweaters for 30 shillings (£1.50) and badges for 6 pence (6d) (2½p).

[111] Lennon later said, "On the business end he [Epstein] ripped us off on the Seltaeb thing. His diplomatic way of dealing with the Beatles and with their previous manager resulted in a December 10, 1961, meeting, where it was decided that Epstein would manage the band. [71] According to Geoffrey Ellis, chief executive of NEMS Enterprises, the day before the funeral George Harrison had given Nat Weiss, Epstein's good friend and confidant, a single flower (Ellis remembers it being a chrysanthemum) wrapped in a newspaper on behalf of all four Beatles, with instructions to place the flower on Brian's coffin as a final farewell. [18] According to club owner Sytner, Epstein had visited the club quite a few times previously on Saturday nights, once asking Sytner to book a group for his twenty-first birthday party. [2] His grandmother Dinah was the daughter of Joseph (a draper) and Esther Hyman, who had emigrated from Russia to Britain (c. 1871/72) with their eldest son Jacob.

[43] Epstein agonised about the decision, asking the Cavern's disc jockey Bob Wooler if it was a good idea. Although initially flattered and sympathetic to the film, in his second book, A Fool on the Hill, Williams described the film makers as being deceitful and the film as "utter rubbish". Epstein and Sons then enlarged the furniture business by taking over adjacent shops at 62/72 Walton Road to sell a range of other goods, such as musical instruments and household appliances. An HMV disc-cutter named Jim Foy liked the recordings, suggesting that Epstein should contact Sid Coleman, the head of EMI's record publishing division, which controlled the publishing company Ardmore & Beechwood. [107], During the first Beatles trip to the United States, merchandisers pitched many products to Epstein, including Beatles clocks, pens, cigarette lighters, plastic wigs, bracelets, games, etc., but he rejected them all. [11] In September 1956, he took a trip to London to meet a friend but after being there for only one day, was robbed of his passport, birth certificate, chequebook, wristwatch, and all the money he had in his possession. [45][46], In an afternoon meeting with the group at NEMS on 3 December 1961, Epstein proposed the idea of managing the Beatles. [122] Allan Richard Williams (21 February 1930 – 30 December 2016)[1] was a British businessman and promoter who was the original booking agent and first manager of the Beatles.

[165], Epstein was once asked about the future of the Beatles and their "fresh honesty" (as he put it), which the interviewer thought could be "corrupted by time". He reassured Howie Casey, leader of the Seniors who were already established in Hamburg, who had cautioned Allan: "Listen, we've got a good thing going here in Hamburg. His RADA classmates included actors Susannah York, Albert Finney, and Peter O'Toole, but Epstein dropped out after the third term,[18] saying that he had become "too much of a businessman to enjoy being a student, and I didn't like being a student at all. [72] According to McCartney, "The gigs went up in stature and though the pay went up only a little bit, it did go up"; they were "now playing better places". [40], The Beatles signed Epstein's first management contract, but Epstein did not. He pressured them to continue touring, but they steadfastly refused. [17] Back in Liverpool, he confessed his homosexuality to a psychiatrist—a friend of the Epstein family—who suggested to Harry Epstein that his son should leave Liverpool as soon as possible. [117] The Beatles' PRS income increased rapidly, so Epstein asked Isherwood to devise a way of avoiding the tax that Lennon and McCartney would owe. Mar. Taylor replied that he honestly thought they were "absolutely awful", but there was something "remarkable" about them. [43] They had previously worn blue jeans and leather jackets, and they would stop and start songs when they felt like it or when an audience member requested a certain song. Harry had previously convinced Epstein to sell the magazine at NEMS,[26] with the Beatles featured on the front page of its second issue. [41] The Beatles, all regular NEMS customers, immediately recognised Epstein, but before he could congratulate them on their performance George Harrison said, "And what brings Mr Epstein here?" Epstein often lost thousands of pounds by playing baccarat or chemin de fer (the original version of baccarat when it was introduced in France), but would stay at Curzon House the whole evening, eating an expensive meal and drinking fine wines. I am not addicted to either, but I have been very drunk and very 'high'. They signed a new contract in October 1962 which gave Epstein 15, 20, or 25 per cent of revenues, depending on how much he helped the band earn. Lennon's first wife Cynthia also maintained that Lennon's relationship with Epstein was platonic. Epstein managed to avoid a court martial by agreeing to see an army psychiatrist, who learned of Epstein's sexuality. This was because he had already allowed David Jacobs, the lawyer for NEMS, to give away 90 per cent of merchandising rights to one Nicky Byrne, in the UK. Despite this, other interviews with Lennon report him as being loyal to Epstein's memory: "We had complete faith in him when he was running us. ", while laughing loudly, which McCartney found hilarious and "very liberating". [5], In 2003, the family home on Anfield Road was converted into a Beatles-themed hotel called Epstein House. David Pomerran Szatmary states that when Epstein first saw them at the Cavern Club he thought, "They were a scruffy crowd in leather, and they were not very tidy and not very clean. [80] Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison asked Epstein to sack Best when they learned that Martin wanted to replace him on their recordings. "[40][43] Later, when Epstein was paying the bill, he grabbed Taylor's arm and said, "Do you think I should manage them? at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962, "Allan Williams, First Manager of the Beatles, Dies at 86", "BBC - Liverpool Beatles - The Man Who Gave The Beatles Away", "Beatles' first manager, Allan Williams, dies at 86", Allan Williams in a BBC Archive report on the first annual 'Mersey Beat convention' in 1971, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Allan_Williams&oldid=1017104932, Pages using Template:Infobox musical artist with unknown parameters, Wikipedia articles with CINII identifiers, Wikipedia articles with WORLDCATID identifiers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 10 April 2021, at 21:04. )[55] The contract stated that Epstein would receive a management commission of 25 per cent of the group's gross income after a certain financial threshold had been reached.
