Paul McCartney, Denied Control Over Beatles Hits For Decades, Is Told To Wait : The Record : NPR

Citando:

"First, the fine print. In the U.S., authors are allowed to regain copyrights they had previously assigned to other parties, such as a music publishing company, after 56 years, a feature of stateside copyright law designed to give late-in-life artists and their families a financial silver lining (not that McCartney needs it). McCartney is extremely keen, after the previously mentioned burns he sustained, to regain control of his Beatles work — so much so that he filed termination notices, the legal mechanism for him to regain his copyrights, on The Beatles' "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," about 10 years ahead of schedule. (They turn 56 years old in October, 2018.)

Despite that due diligence, McCartney is understandably skittish given his track record of failure in this particular area of his business. The pop genius filed suit, in fact, this past January against Sony/ATV — the world's largest music publisher, which controls much of the Lennon/McCartney songbook — based essentially on a conversation, shared in court documents, in late 2016 during a Billy Joel concert between his lawyer and Sony/ATV chairman and CEO Martin Bandier. The talk seemed to indicate that McCartney's reclamations, which should be protected by U.S. law, may not go as smoothly as he'd hoped."

2017-02-09: 56 anos do primeiro concerto na Cavern

... À hora de almoço, em que tocaram por 5 GBP e à experiência, com pessoas desconfiadas a comer sandes:

Citando:
"The first concert by The Beatles at The Cavern Club, over a lunchtime on February 9, 1961,  was hardly an auspicious affair. They were paid £5 for the appearance, a concert that wasn't advertised, and George Harrison was nearly denied admission to play because he was wearing jeans. "
