The UGLY Truth About Allen Klein: Swindled The Stones And Broke Up The Beatles

The UGLY Truth About Allen Klein: Swindled The Stones And Broke Up The Beatles
Allen Klein was the self-styled "biggest bastard in the valley" who managed the business affairs of both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for a brief period in the late 1960s.
But the tough-talking New Jersey accountant, was to fall out in spectacular fashion with his two most high-profile clients, igniting years of litigation and courtroom battles.

His company, ABKCO Music & Records, still owns the rights to many of the Stones' most successful 1960s recordings. Despite the deep-seated acrimony his involvement with both bands engendered among musicians and fans alike, his publicist Bob Merlis said the archetypal music mogul continued to believe he had done a good job for the acts he represented. "[He was] very proud of the position he was in and what he was able to do with the different artists he was able to work with," Merlis said.

Many Beatles fans blamed Klein, a brash, short-tempered man, for adding to the pressures which eventually fractured the Fab Four, although the truth is that the band had most likely run its course by the time he assumed partial control of their affairs in 1969. Klein found himself drawn into the increasingly hostile rivalries between John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

A first attempt to sign them at the height of their fame after the death of Brian Epstein in 1967 had failed. But Klein, whose interest in music many suspected extended little beyond the financial bottom line of the acts he courted, persevered.
