A 1964 interview between Beatles Svengali Brian Epstein and controversial presenter Bill Grundy kicked off a new series of Marc Riley?s Time Machine on Radio 2 on Tuesday evening. The interview, originating from a BBC Radio Merseyside documentary series Talking Frankly was a rare insight into how Epstein picked the Beatles from obscurity and molded them into the biggest pop group in the world.
Most things said in the context of the discussion have been well-documented elsewhere in books, magazines or interviews with the Beatles themselves since, but Epstein?s comments were still good to hear.

Of particular interest were Epstein?s views on how he felt the pop music scene was moving away from Beat groups and more towards softer styles popularised by groups such as The Searchers. With hindsight he was probably right, The Searchers style been not to dissimilar from the jangly folk rock guitar sound emerging from the American West Coast popularised by Dylan and The Byrds .
