“After the pictures, I was able to corner George, who told me that the ‘Yellow Submarine’ cartoon depiction of the Beatles ‘isn’t us.’ ‘There’s no true image of us. You Press people have given us an image which isn’t us either.’ George, in dark suit and yellow frilled shirt, said they had changed a lot (I noticed all three were much more sober and quiet and to the point now) and were half businessmen, half recording artists. ‘It appears we are doing less, but we’re doing more, but the public don’t see it. When we toured we were seen on stage and getting on and off aeroplanes. Now we do our work in private, in offices and studios. ‘I have written ten songs for the new LP. We have about 40 in all and we don’t know yet which ones we’ll use. We hope to do the LP quicker.’ I remarked that now that George was clean shaven, we saw more of his face than we had for a long time. He looked younger. How did it feel to be so bare? ‘Great. If I cut my hair off more I’d look younger still and maybe I could join The Small Faces,’ joked George.” - article by Andy Gray, New Musical Express (July 13, 1968) Q: “[The movie Yellow Submarine is] a spectacular, Dante’s ‘Inferno’-type tale of good vs. evil. And that ‘flying glove’ character is scary!” George Harrison: “[Laughs] It is, it is! And all those Apple Bonkers! The fact is, with the way the culture and the government are now, it’s all still happening now as it was in ‘Yellow Submarine.’ Except the Blue Meanies have got a bigger stranglehold on the planet right now than they even had back in ’67!” - Billboard (1999)

The Beatles by Bob Spitz.

"When Epstein went to dinner at the Mirabelle with Geoffrey Ellis, a leading actor at the next table, under the influence of drink, taunted: "Look at that little boy over there... he couldn't get an MBE!" Epstein coolly ignored it and the actor was hustled out of the restaurant. Unconsciously striking a chord that comforted Brian, Paul McCartney told a press conference that MBE stood for Mister Brian Epstein. Such delicious word-play was precisely in tune with Brian's sense of humor, and he enjoyed repeating the story to friends for months."—The Man Who Made the Beatles by Ray Coleman.
