the Reluctant Beatle page 28 by ric gustafson
Sixteen months after the band's manager passed away, the band's future had changed greatly. Peter Brown, Neil Aspinall and Derek Taylor were filling in as manager. The band's Apple corps had moved to 3 Savile Row.
On July 17 1968, the band gathered at a London Pavilion Cinema for the premiere of a new Beatles film. This time it was an animated film. ' Yellow Submarine' was based on one of Paul's songs he had written for ' Revolver'. The film became a pop art masterpiece. The film gave a boost to British animation. On July 31 1968, the Apple boutique store closed after only 6 months.
The slow going of the new Beatles album continued. John and Paul wanted the album to be in a new double disc format. George Martin disagreed with their plan. John and Paul prevailed. Tensions mounted at Abbey Road studio. Yoko Ono's presence in the studio increased the tensions. Even patient Ringo Starr briefly left the group. He came back.
