Many people love the study of homonyms in the English language -words that sound exactly the same but can also have different spellings and meanings. Capital and Capitol certainly have those distinct meanings in this tale of the mammoth record label and their relationship with the enormously talented pop/rock group from the UK, who certainly generated an extraordinary amount of capital for the company. You will learn the fascinating details of what the business marketing decisions concerning the Beatles were being based on.
The marketing of the Beatles at Capitol Records is quite the series of intricate and often bewildering stories. Certainly not all the decisions that were being made were good ones, depending on the vantage point on whether you were the artist or the company. The rationale behind corporate decisions are discussed at length in this tale. You will enjoy this book’s detailed attempt to educate and inform you about what was going on behind the scenes at the record company that will permanently be linked to the world’s most successful musical and entertainment phenomenon!
