This day in 1966

On November 13, 1966, a report came out from The Sunday Telegraph that claimed that "Mr. Allen Klein, the American impresario, has been approached by two of The Beatles over their future management." Klein was a very famous businessman in the 1960s. He managed the Rolling Stones and others, finally managing The Beatles for a very short time prior to the breakup in 1970. He is cited as a contributing factor in the breakup, as John, George, and Ringo wanted Klein and Paul wanted Linda Eastman's (soon to be Linda McCartney in March 1969) father to be the new manager. This rift between The Beatles was one of many during the latter half of the 1960s, one inflamed following the death of longtime manager Brian Epstein in August 1967.

This day in 1963

On November 5, 1963, The Beatles continued their tour of the United Kingdom and played at the Adelphi Cinema in Slough. Earlier, John, Paul, George, and Ringo recorded interview for a British current events program called This Week. A typical day in the Beatles' touring career, especially in 1963 which is dubbed as the year Beatlemania broke loose.
