By the end of the\nyear Apple had signed James Taylor and struck lucky with Mary Hopkin. The\nmuch-admired Badfinger followed, along with albums by obvious associates (Billy\nPreston, Ravi Shankar, Yoko Ono) and not-so-obvious (John Tavener, Modern Jazz\nQuartet, Radha Krishna Temple) with mixed financial and artistic success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e   But The Beatles were not businessmen and the\nearly optimism of shiny newness soon soured into chaos. Major acts such as 10cc\nand Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash slipped through their fingers. Allen Klein was\nappointed to sort out the mess, but disenfranchised nearly everybody. Paul left\nThe Beatles and sued the others. In 1975, The Beatles' partnership was legally\nterminated and Apple Records, a vanity label in all but name, was quietly put\nto sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e   Apple Of My Eye revisits each of the albums\nand singles released by Apple between 1968 and 1975, underpinned by the\nbusiness and legal context of the last days of the world's greatest band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonicbond Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55024045228376,"sku":"9781789523799","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781789523799_16fc4215-2ec8-4777-914c-a5d68021e010.jpg?v=1778667329","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/apple-of-my-eye-5","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
