...more generous portion of that precious commodity might also have spruced up The Love You Make, subtitled "An Insider's Story of the Beatles." Co-Author Peter Brown went to work for Brian Epstein when he was running the record department at one of the family music stores in Liverpool. Managing a scraggly rock quartet was a sideline.
