Looking at the five biggest selling British bands of all time - where are the people behind them (other than me)? Brian Epstein and George Martin (Beatles) - all gone. Andrew Loog Oldham (Stones) - last time I saw him (on a NYCity street) was living in Columbia, a recluse; Freddy Mercury (Queen) - all gone; Syd Barrett (Floyd) all gone - sorry Dave (though he would claim he is here partly because of me - his first producer and encourager in our Cambridge days.
