Neil Aspinall 1941-2008

There aren't really a lot of words that need to be said about Neil Aspinall. He was such an integral part of the Beatles legacy from the beginning that you couldn't say his name without invoking theirs.
It was almost like he was a member of the band itself. He was, in a way. They relied on him for so many things through the years. He was a roadie in the early days. When Apple Corps got started, he was put in charge. It was he who was instrumental in the creation of "The Beatles Anthology," "Yellow Submarine Soundtrack," "Live at the BBC," "1" and "Love."
He wasn't without his critics, who contended he was slow to respond to technology, mishandled the Apple vs. Apple suit and even made a wrong turn with "Love," even though this was originally George Harrison's idea.
But he did so much right his accomplishments far outweigh the criticisms. He will be missed not only by the Beatles themselves. Ideas like "Yellow Submarine Soundtrack," one of the best things he did from a fan's point of view, may never happen again -- or at least not soon enough for the fans.

Apple shakeup followup

Musicweek is putting a different spin on what we reported the other day about unrest at Apple, turning it around to say that the Beatles’ willingness to settle with Apple/iTunes may have been hastened by Apple Corps boss Neil Aspinall's plans to retire.

Aspinall's intentions could have persuaded the remaining Beatles and the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison to hurry to put in place a deal and get the Apple house in order before Aspinall leaves, their report claims.

They also quote a source as saying that EMI Recorded Music UK chairman and CEO Tony Wadsworth has been pressuring Apple Corps to settle with Apple Inc and iTunes
after the Beatles lost their UK court battle against the computer company last year.

But another insider close to The Beatles denies this, saying reports of Aspinall’s retirement are greatly exaggerated. (Thanks to SR.)
