TeaFlix Interview with Scott Freiman (Beatles Author)

Well, we had a lot of thoughts about how to put this book together.

And it was actually my marketing assistant, Andy Rosenthal, who's a wonderful friend and a great biologist as well.

And she said, you know, this is very similar to what Taylor Swift has done with the heirs, with her heirs.

And I'm

a Taylor Swift fan.

And I thought that was such an interesting way to approach this because the Beatles, although they move very, very quickly, it's almost like they had a moment in time where they had one style, one way of working, and then they kind of tossed that aside and moved on.

Even though they brought everything forward, they were always trying to do something new and something to change.

And that concept of these errors, from the please, please me error to the revolver error, which happened in less than four years, which is extraordinary, But to talk about these albums and the singles in the relationship to an error was a kind of an interesting way to approach the book.

Yeah, that's funny.

I picked up on it in the intro when I said, like, Taylor Swift era.

So people can remember your website, Beatles eras, eras, we would call them, dot com.

And you can also spell ears with the same amount of letters.

There you

go.

That's right.

But, yeah, no, I think incredibly the Beatles and, of course, the engineering staff, George Martin, Jeff Emmerich and the crew and Abbey Road.

sort of gave them the freedom to paint on a bigger audio canvas than really anybody had ever had.

Maybe here it was, you know, Studio 3 at East West, the Beach Boys and Pet Sounds and whatever, but I think one begat the other.

And I honestly think without all of that happening in music history, you wouldn't have had the chameleons like the David Bowies.

And, you know, Madonna reinvented herself over and over and over again.

That's right.

Prince reinvented.

So

I think the Beatles and crew gave artists the permission to just get out of the box and just try something.

No question.
