  • HITMAKERS – 6 X 60M Drama
    HITMAKERS – 6 x 60m drama LOGLINE In Sixties London, the managers of the Beatles, the Stones and the Who struggle to marry art and commerce in a bid to become the world’s biggest hitmakers. CHARACTERS Andrew Oldham (19), Beatles publicist and then manager of the Rolling Stones. A flash, mouthy trouble-maker desperate to emulate Brian Epstein’s success. His bid to create the anti-Beatles turns him from Epstein wannabe to out-of-control anarchist, corrupted by the Stones lifestyle and alienated from his girlfriend Sheila. For him, everything is a hustle – work, relationships, his own psyche – but always underpinned by a desire to surprise and entertain. Suffers from (initially undiagnosed) bi-polar disorder, which is exacerbated by increasing drug use, with every high followed by a self-destructive low. Nobody in the Sixties burns brighter: his is the legend that’s never been told on screen, the story at the heart of Hitmakers. Brian Epstein (28), the manager of the Beatles. A man striving to create with the Beatles the success he never achieved in entertainment himself (as either actor or fashion designer). Driven by a naive, egotistical sense of destiny, in the process he basically invents what we think of as the modern pop manager. He’s an emperor by the age of 30 – but this empire is constantly at risk of being undone by his desperate (and – to him – shameful) homosexual desires for inappropriate men, and the machinations of enemies jealous of his unprecedented, upstart success. At first he sees Andrew as a protege and confidant, but progressively as a threat.

I first met Nick Drake when I arrived in London after attending the Isle of Wight Pop Festival in 1969, which featured as its curtain-closer a very different Bob Dylan to the one I had seen in Sydney in March 1966. However, on thinking about it, Dylan’s more scaled down eclectic country music approach - which he revealed for the first time - kind of prepared me for what I was about to experience in London. The day after I arrived at my temporary London lodgings with friends living in Warwick Avenue, I went to Les Cousins in Greek Street.

He took off his hat and came slowly forward. The floorboards creaked under his boots. In his black suit he stood in the dark glass where the lilies leaned so palely from their waisted cutglass vase. Along the cold hallway behind him hung the portraits of forebears only dimly known to him all framed in glass and dimly lit above the narrow wainscotting. He looked down at the guttered candlestub. He pressed his thumbprint in the warm wax pooled on the oak veneer. Lastly he looked at the face so caved and drawn among the folds of funeral cloth, the yellowed moustache, the eyelids paper thin. That was not sleeping. That was not sleeping. It was dark outside and cold and no wind. In the distance a calf bawled. He stood with his hat in his hand. You never combed your hair that way in your life, he said. Inside the house there was no sound save the ticking of the mantel clock in the front room. He went out and shut the door. Dark and cold and no wind and a thin gray reef beginning along the eastern rim of the world. He walked out on the prairie and stood holding his hat like some supplicant to the darkness over them all and he stood there for a long time.

  • Immediate Records
    Immediate Records In mid-1965, Andrew Loog Oldham was best known as the Rolling Stones’ producer, but his ideas always extended beyond production. In July, he and Tony Calder came up with a brilliant idea to cut the bureaucracy out of the music business. That idea resulted in the creation of a new label, Immediate, which he announced to the world in the August 6th issues of the British trade magazines. New Musical Express had reported that the Rolling Stones might be leaving the London label in the United States. When Billboard reported that for American audiences in the August 21st issue, they added a bit of information about Immediate. Although Immediate did fairly well promoting domestic product and importing singles from small American labels, by the middle of 1966 they had still failed to make it into the American market. However, in June Allen Klein helped to negotiate an agreement with MGM where the American label would release at least two Immediate singles. This was not a satisfactory arrangement for either company and, prior to the release of the label’s first album in the USA, Immediate was in a distribution deal with CBS (Columbia Records). The CBS-distributed singles have the prefix ZS7-, where the 7 indicates a seven-inch record. Their LPs have the prefix of Z12 and, oddly, employ even numbers only. Where they existed, reel-to-reel tapes used the ZQ- prefix, four-track cartridges used the Z14- prefix, and eight-tracks used the Z18- prefix.
