Denis O'Brien, former manager of George Harrison, dead at 80

NEW YORK — (AP) — Denis O'Brien, who served as George Harrison's manager for much of the former Beatle's solo career and with Harrison co-founded the production company that backed such hits as the classic “Monty Python's Life of Brian,” has died at age 80. O'Brien's daughter, Kristen O'Brien, told The Associated Press that Denis O'Brien died Dec. 3 in Britain at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon after being admitted for severe abdominal pains. In 1978, Harrison and O'Brien co-founded HandMade Films, a top independent company over the next decade. Their initial project was “Life of Brian,” Monty Python's controversial religious parody which they financed after EMI Films dropped out at the last minute. In August 2001, three months before Harrison's death, a judge rejected the musician's effort to stop O'Brien from declaring bankruptcy.

Along the way, Jackson's project dispels and reinforces pieces of conventional wisdom that has solidified through the years. Among the priceless moments he unearthed is the joy on the Beatles' faces as they played on the studio rooftop. The film shows the whole performance, the Beatles rising to the challenge and having a great time doing it.

Record label rejected The Beatles' off these 1962 songsnow tape of the audition could sell for $90,000

On New Year's Day in 1962, a then-unknown band called The Beatles performed 15 songs for British label Decca Records. There is some debate as to whether Decca Records rejected The Beatles or The Beatles rejected an offer from Decca to press their records only if the band paid for it themselves. Whatever the case, The Beatles' then manager Brian Epstein held on to a recording of the audition. Now, Sotheby's London will auction the tape of the Decca audition online, estimating it will sell for 50,000 to 70,000 pounds, or about $65,000 to $90,000. As Sotheby's tells it, Decca Records didn't take the band seriously at the audition.
