Northern Songs & NEMS in 1969

I wrote this up to get my head around the business side of things surrounding the breakup and I thought I'd throw it up here for all you people who don't feel like wading through You Never Give Me Your Money/The Love You Make.

Brian had managed The Beatles via NEMS, which is to say that their contract was with NEMS and not Brian himself. The group didn't want to be managed by Clive Epstein and didn't care for Robert Stigwood (who had become partners with Brian, which the Beatles didn't learn till August '67) because he'd rejected them in '62. After the contract expired in September 1967, the group decided to manage themselves. NEMS was jointly managed by Clive Epstein and Robert Stigwood for a while until they split fairly amicably. Clive retained NEMS. The inheritance tax for the holding was due on March 31, 1969, and he did not have the money to pay it.

In early 1969, Clive informed The Beatles that he was looking to sell NEMS*. Paul asked the Eastmans for advice, who told him they should borrow money from EMI to buy NEMS outright. The reasoning being: after Brian's death, it came to light that NEMS was entitled to 25% of the record sales for the next nine years. Owning NEMS would mean the company could no longer claim commission from them. However, Allen Klein advised the group not to go ahead with the purchase, pointing out that the loan they took out from EMI would be difficult to repay.

Paul favoured the Eastmans as the group's managers, while the other three preferred Klein. The Eastmans had several things going against them:

They were Paul's brother and father-in-law and would therefore be biased in his favour.

They were more 'class-conscious' people, which means they owned Picassos and wore suits all the time. Paul was attracted to this kind of thing while John and George were repelled by it.

They made several tactical errors while dealing with Klein and the rest of the group.

When John Eastman, Klein and The Beatles all met for the first time to discuss the acquisition of NEMS, Eastman went in on Klein for all his crooked dealings (he had been accused of insider trading** with a company he owned and had been in trouble with the IRS for failing to file tax returns.) He must've expected Klein to fire back at him in the same fashion but, as per Peter Doggette's book, he 'calmly defused the row,' making Eastman look like a psycho and Klein a reasonable, victimised man. This basically only served to solidify the other three's (John's) support for Klein, but for the time being, they were going to try to work together: Klein was to produce a statement of The Beatles' financial situation, and the Eastmans were appointed legal advisors to Apple Corps.

The arrangement was doomed from the start because Klein wasn't exactly being cooperative with the Eastmans, sending them bundles of documents of no importance whatsoever. Things only got worse after Lee Eastman wrote Clive Epstein to suggest a meeting where they could discuss, among other things, the 'propriety' of the negotiations that Brian carried out with EMI on the group's behalf in '66. This incensed Clive, because what do you mean propriety? Are you calling my dead brother a crook? And he went off and sold Queenie Epstein's 70% stake in NEMS to a Leonard Richenberg of Triumph Investments.

As a reminder, NEMS took a 25% commission on The Beatles royalties. That company is now majority owned by Some Guy. A quarter of The Beatles' earnings are lining the pockets of Some Guy. This was a huge blow to the Eastmans. The Beatles told EMI that all their royalties (including NEMS' 25%) should be sent to their own bankers, but, confused, EMI threw up their hands and decided to withhold the money until they sorted out the issue.

We're up to about February/March 1969 now. Apple is still haemorrhaging money and The Beatles' main revenue source has been blocked off. And we haven't even gotten into the Northern Songs fiasco yet.

Note - pie charts NOT to scale!

Northern Songs went public in February 1965 to reduce its income tax burden and the 1,250,000 shares on offer sold out in sixty seconds. At the time of flotation, John, Paul, Dick James, and Charles Silver (partner of Dick James - no not that way) all had 15% stakes in the company. Dick James Music and NEMS both held 7.5% stakes, and George and Ringo each had 1.6% stakes. In June 1968, George got rid of his shares entirely which, like Ringo's, had by then whittled down to 0.8%.

The situation by 1969 was basically what you see above. As you all know, Dick James and Charles Silver sold their shares to ATV in March 1969, giving them 35% of the company and the majority stake. The Beatles and Co. could only cobble together 30%. But if they could get Consortium, a group that held a 14% stake in Northern Songs, to sell its shares to them, they could take back control of the company.

At the same time, relations within the group continued to deteriorate. The Eastmans advised Paul to not add his block of shares to John's as collateral for the loan they needed for their takeover bid and Klein offered his £750,000 worth of shares in MGM to make up for it. He also informed John that Paul had been buying more shares in Northern Songs. As things stood, John had 644,000 and Paul had 751,000.

While it was true that Paul had increased his standing in Northern Songs on advice of the Eastmans, he couldn't have bought much more than 1,000 extra shares. The real reason for the discrepancy was that part of John's stake, roughly 100,000 shares and 2% of the company in total, had been put aside for Cyn and Julian. Roughly the same distribution in shares had existed since at least 1966*** and Cyn had been allowed to retain the 2% after the divorce. But, if you take that fact out of the equation and just present the massive difference in their stakes and the fact that Paul had been buying more shares, it looks quite damning. After this meeting, John, George, and Ringo effectively banished the Eastmans from Apple.

Meanwhile, since The Beatles had already fulfilled their 1967 deal with EMI, Klein got to work on negotiating a new deal for the group with the blessings of all four Beatles.**** He also got permission from the group to go into Apple and start cutting redundancies. By the end of April, he had drawn up a three-year management contract for The Beatles to sign. The terms were:

ABKCO (company run by Allen and Betty Klein) is appointed exclusive business manager to Apple Corps on behalf of The Beatles and their companies

ABKCO recieves 20% of Apple's income before tax. The percentage would continue for any deals signed while the contract was in force, with a few exceptions. • He would not receive any percentage of The Beatles' royalties until he negotiates a new deal for the group. • He would only receive 20% of the increase royalty, not the full rate. • He could only claim 10% of the income generated by Apple Records

Apple would pay the expenses of Klein and any other ABKCO staff working on their behalf.

The four of them initially agreed to the deal. Loony Toons-type hijinks occurred when the group attempted to sign the contract. It was first brought to John. The version he signed had last minute clause added in by the group's advisors that made the document into a basis for further discussion instead of a binding deal. John showed off the signed contract to Klein, who wanted the clause removed. By this point, the guy who brought the contract to John, lawyer Peter Howard, was already on the way to George's house and discovered that he had left behind the document George needed to sign. George also wanted to phone Paul before he did, but Paul had changed his number and hadn't told anyone, so he couldn't reach him. The lawyer got George to sign a carbon copy, which was then brought to Ringo, then to John and Klein, who added their signatures.

The deal now had to be ratified by Apple's board of directors. When the Beatles later met, Paul was upset because the deal had been signed without him being notified and he thought Klein's percentage was too big. Klein told the board that ABKCO's insisted he got The Beatles' approval that day so there was no time for further negotiations.***** Paul wanted them to wait until his lawyers had drafted another agreement. However, only three directors were required to agree, so John, George, and Neil Aspinall went ahead and ratified the deal. Klein was officially the manager of John, George, and Ringo, but not Paul.

On a brighter note, the NEMS situation was finally resolved in July 1969. The arrangement was:

NEMS drops all claims of representing The Beatles.

The Beatles sell their 10% stake in NEMS.

NEMS was paid a lump sum of £750, 000 as compensation for all the money they might've made managing The Beatles up to 1972.

NEMS took 5% of The Beatles' royalties between 1972 and 1976 - the 5% of North American royalties (which comprised 75% of their global revenue) would come from Klein's commission.

Paul attempted to stage a weak protest against Klein's rule by threatening to pull out of the deal unless Klein agreed to not take any payments for negotiating the deal over the past five months. Klein confronted him at Abbey Road where he, George, and Ringo were working (John had crashed his car in Scotland) and called his bluff. Paul backed down; the deal was signed and the £1.3 million on hold from EMI was finally released.

A few months later, it looked like all the Beatles' business woes would soon be resolved: Consortium were willing to sell their shares. The Beatles sans George (missing because of Louise's brain tumour diagnosis, I assume) and Klein met on September 19 to discuss how the board of Northern Songs would look when they took control. Linda took photos to assure Consortium that The Beatles were all speaking with one voice. I assume these are the pictures:

John Eastman pushed for Paul to have the same number of votes as the other three combined, which baffled everyone - including Paul. However, it all turned out to be for nought when Consortium threw in their stake with ATV. Northern Songs was lost. The next day, the group reconvened to sign The Beatles' new contract with Capitol****** and John Lennon left The Beatles.

* Clive or someone had renamed NEMS Nemperor Holdings at this point, but I’m going to keep using NEMS because this is tedious enough without companies changing names.

** Insider trading is buying or selling a company's stock in accordance with information that is not publically available. For example:

My friends and I are betting on how many hot dogs my cousin David can eat within twenty minutes. Everyone else has to place bets based on guesses, but I know from growing up with him that Dave gets sick after eating seven hot dogs at once, and I bet accordingly.

*** Why didn't John know this? Aside from because he was paranoid, already suspicious of Paul and the Eastmans, and probably on a ridiculous cocktail of drugs, I think he might genuinely not have remembered. It's possible that his accountant called him at some point, said hey, do you want to put some shares aside for your family? And he just said yeah, went straight back to sleep, and it had slipped entirely from his mind by the time he woke up.

**** Per Klein, in the middle of negotiations John Eastman sent a message to Capitol saying that Klein does not represent Paul in any way, which was not true.

***** ABKCO was singlehandedly controlled by Allen Klein

****** A very lucrative deal. It gave them 25% of the wholesale price, a higher royalty rate than any other recording group.

#please feel free to add/correct me!#my dad saw me drawing those pie charts and asked if i was doing horoscopes. said yes cause it's easier to explain #midposts #on lawyers and managers

Isobel Elsom and Ida Lupino in Ladies in Retirement (Charles Vidor, 1941)

Cast: Ida Lupino, Louis Hayward, Evelyn Keyes, Elsa Lanchester, Edith Barrett, Isobel Elsom, Emma Dunn, Queenie Leonard, Clyde Cook. Screenplay: Garrett Fort, Reginald Denham, based on a play by Denham and Edward Percy. Cinematography: George Barnes. Production design: Lionel Banks. Music: Ernst Toch.

Ladies in Retirement, a nifty little thriller included in the Criterion Channel's "Noir by Gaslight" series, centers on a steely performance by Ida Lupino. She plays Ellen Creed, a Victorian spinster trying to make a life for herself and her two eccentric sisters, Emily (Elsa Lanchester) and Louisa (Edith Barrett). The sisters have been living in London with a family that has become fed up with them, so Ellen is forced to persuade her employer to let them come live with her in a somewhat gloomy house on the edge of a marshland. The employer, whom Ellen serves as a kind of companion/housekeeper, is the imperious Leonora Fiske (Isobel Elsom), a retired "actress." (We later learn that she was only a fourth-from-the-right chorus girl, who managed to accumulate a small fortune from stage door johnnies and wealthy patrons.) Unfortunately, the sisters manage to alienate Leonora as well. Louisa is batty and hypersensitive, and Emily is brusque and a collector of things she picks up on her walks, like shells and birds' nests and even a dead bird, which she leaves scattered around the house that Leonora bullies the maid-of-all-work, Lucy (Evelyn Keyes), to keep immaculate. Ellen knows that she can't make a living for herself and her sisters, and she doesn't want them sent to an asylum, so she decides to take things, which means Leonora's neck, in her own hands. Curtain on act one. (The stage origins of the movie are apparent throughout.) Enter Albert Feather (Louis Hayward), a somewhat distant relative of the Creed women, who calls Ellen "Auntie" and charms the sisters. He also charms Lucy. Albert has been to the house before, while Ellen was in London collecting her sisters, and managed to flatter Leonora into giving him some money. But now he's on the lam, wanted for embezzlement from the bank where he worked. When he finds that Leonora is gone -- "on a trip," as the story goes -- he begins to suspect that Ellen is hiding something. And so the plot hinges on his quest to uncover Ellen's secrets, with the aid of the infatuated Lucy. It's a nicely paced movie, with fine performances, especially by Barrett and Lanchester as the weird sisters. Though remembered today more as a director than as an actor, Lupino, then in her early 20s, excels in a part that had been played on Broadway by the much older Flora Robson. Although Louisa and Emily are the more flamboyantly mad of the sisters, Lupino manages to hint that Ellen is the maddest of them all.

Name: Leonard LongHearth. Species: Witch (wild offspring) Gender: Male. Age: 16 years old. Height: 1'70 cm. Occupation: Hexside student. Glandus High student (formerly) Personality: Open, dynamic, skillful, cultured, kind, proud, proactive, brave, indecisive, responsible, assertive, cheerful, enthusiastic, self-demanding, has a hard time sharing and somewhat stubborn. Likes: Wild magic, magical beasts, reading, dueling magic, socializing, enhancing his powers, illusion, human trash, hanging out with his father, and food. Dislikes: talking about his injury and/or having to hide it, being forced to do things he doesn't want to do, feeling pressured by his mother (sometimes), being lied to and despised, being feared for his injury and being ashamed for his origins. Goals: To know his place in the world, to freely discover his powers and his position, and to know the real origin of his family. Coven: Undefined. Emperor's Coven (almost, by obligation). Talisman: Batail. Family: Jenevieve Took (mother), Arthur LongHearth (father) and Queenie LongHearth (older sister). Story: Leonard is the youngest son of Jenevieve and Arthur. Jenevieve is part of the Illusion coven and Arthur is part of the Beast Keeping coven. From the beginning it was a complicated relationship, but they managed to get by for a while. The two differed on various opinions, most notably on the wild origin of the LongHearth family. This family from the beginning had a distinctive mark painted under their eyes, as well as a lock of hair or full blue hair depending on the level of wild magic they used. It was something that was passed down through the generations and was proudly worn by wild witches as a symbol of power, but Jenevieve believed it was something to be ashamed of and used as penance for all the damage done by those kinds of witches so many years ago.

The relationship between Leonard's parents broke up when he was a child, since they eldest daughter left home and disappeared, leaving some letters to her father telling him the whole truth about her mother and her family. From there, an endless fight began between both parents to bring their son into their coven. Leonard loved both magics, but he knew very well that he would only be allowed to choose one. After the separation, Leonard stayed to live with his mother and from time to time and every weekend he was with his father helping him in his sanctuary or in his coven. The rest of the week, he had to dedicate to his studies to become a great illusionist, just as his mother wanted. Growing up, Leonard became a very talented boy, so much so that he carved his own talisman out of it. Unfortunately, Jenevieve was very harsh and persistent with her son, as well as trying to brainwash him into his paternal family history and they bloodthirsty background. Obviously Arthur always denied him the nonsense invented by his ex-wife, who believed the story imposed by the emperor. Arthur knew that wild witches weren't bad, quite the contrary. He used to compare them to the beasts he cared for: on the outside they looked scary, but on the inside they were good, docile and powerful. Thus, Arthur entrusted his son with a family heirloom that was passed down through the generations within the LongHearth family. It was a journal that compiled the experiences, spells, and history of various of the wild witches in the family. Leonard's ancestors. Jenevieve enrolled her son in the most elite school on the island. In that place Leonard had a really bad time, but everything got worse after the accident. One day while he was with his father taking care of some beasts, Arthur left for a moment leaving his son taming a baby beast. Nothing should have happened, but one of the adult beasts got scared and started acting violently. Unfortunately, his tamer powers were immature and he was unable to calm the beast. This beast attacked him disfiguring part of his face. Arthur came running to help his son who was being helped by two healers witch. Leonard asked that nothing be done to the animal, but it could not be. They tried to heal his wound as best they could, but for some strange reason something was repelling the healing magic. Fortunately they managed to stop the bleeding, but they did not regenerate the skin or close the wound, being raw. Arthur felt guilty and sad, that had been his fault. Due to that irreparable incident, Arthur was imprisoned for negligence and for giving the coven a bad image. Before they took him away, Arthur told his son that he would never see him again and that his mother was right that he was a savage and he needed to be controlled. Leonard was taken to his mother who was horrified to see him, but she did not hesitate to accept his hug between tears. At least now he would be safe. From that day on, the boy was forced to wear a mask so as not to scare the other witches. In turn, he always sported the LongHearth family markings painted on his cheeks in honor of his father. Jenevieve didn't like that he wore Arthur's family marks, but she allowed him to wear them out of feeling bad for all she had caused. Leonard felt bad, he knew more than anyone that the incident was not his father's fault, not even the beast's. He just wanted to see him again; at least with him he felt free. Instead, being with his mother felt like being in a prison. After the incident, Leonard had no contact with the beasts for a while due to his recent trauma, but he was not willing to give up his vocation forever. He just needed to pull himself together and get back to it, for his father's sake. Leonard wrote letters to his father, few of which not came for obvious reasons, but some that did. Arthur was glad to know that his son was well or at least healthy. Leonard's situation in his school wasn't positive either, it wasn't positive from before and now it wouldn't be either. He was never good at making friends because he was constantly busy with his studies because of his mother's obligation, so he spent his time alone. After one fateful day, Leonard was discovered without the mask during an illusions refresher class where he tried to hide his injury using his powers. This caused no one to get close to him and they shunned him for having him as a monster. This further damaged the emotional and mental state of the young witch, creating a huge complex with his image, stopping even looking at his own reflection.

Jenevieve was forced to change him to the Hexside School, both at the request of the directors of the previous school and by Leonard himself. This greatly improved his mood and his academic performance, especially after the appearance of Luz who caused a great change in the school. Leonard made his mother believe that he only went to the illusions class, but the reality is that he also went to the Beast Keeping class, since now he could take more than one class. Callie was also in that Institute studying plants and potions, so having his friend near him made him feel less alone. Everyone there knew about his wound and no one was scared by it, some people made fun of it, but generally everyone thought it was something “extraordinary”, like some cool war brand. Seeing Leonard's improving grades and mastery of magic, Jenevieve talked to the head of her coven so that at the next meeting with the emperor, he could name her son to perhaps induct him into the emperor's coven. Although he was somewhat young, the gold guard himself was a boy of his age, so it was something possible to achieve. There was going to be a coven convention soon anyway, so Leonard could go and decide on one of them. Obviously, Leonard didn't go, instead he went to take care of his father's sanctuary along with Callie, who wasn't interested in going either. Days later, the meeting with the emperor took place and Leonard was named. The emperor was interested in him and his abilities, as well as his last name, which was very familiar to him. The emperor agreed to give him a chance, but first he had to undergo a trial period. This was communicated to Jenevieve, who burned with desire to see her son being an important part of society and the witch system, earning many merits. She later talked to him and at first Leonard didn't take it too well, he hated that his mother spoke and decided for him. But after thinking about it, he saw it as an opportunity to visit and take care of his father, as well as use it to improve his sanctuary. It would only be a trial period, nothing assured him that he was going to enter and he didn't want it either, he just had to make sure to extend that period as much as possible. Leonard accepted, but on the condition that they let him continue going to school. It seemed fair to Jenevieve, but she had to see if he really could do both or just one. The next day she spoke again with the head of his coven and he later asked the emperor, who said to make an appointment to speak with them in person. So it was that same afternoon both mother and son went to see the emperor in person. Leonard felt extremely uncomfortable, all this did not give him a good feeling. His mother forced him to be serious and upright in his presence to make a good first impression. They both entered and Jenevieve began to speak for both of them, but the Emperor silenced her and wanted Leonard to do the talking. He asked him a some questions to test his problem-solving capacity, as if it were an interview. When he finished, the emperor declared that he was fit but that he had to prove it on a practical level, so he would assign him a tutor who was a member of the coven to teach him and if at the end of the year he had obtained good results, he would officially enter in the coven. The news made Jenevieve jump with joy, but Leonard didn't say a word, which surprised the Emperor. Instead of getting excited, he asked if he could continue to go to school and the emperor told him yes but when he ordered it, he had to come to the castle immediately no matter what. Leonard sighed and agreed. Both of them left the throne room in two completely different moods. Leonard had unknowingly gotten himself into real trouble, but he was not willing to pass up the opportunity to see his father again.
