"M.B.E. stands for  Mister Brian Epstein..." -- Paul McCartney MBE & George Harrison MBE -- 1965

Welcome to BrianEpstein.com – the Official Website dedicated to celebrating the life and achievements of Beatles manager Brian Epstein - a man whose prescience, taste, vision and passion has left an indelible impact on our planet.    TWO GOOD KNIGHTS STILL DON'T MAKE OUR DAY! It is of enormous pride to us fans that in addition to the Beatles as a band – and John Lennon as a solo performer – the Hall Of Fame rightly includes two Knights of the British (and Beatles) Realm - Sir George Martin and Sir Paul McCartney. And one belated day - they will induct George Harrison and Ringo Starr for their solo work too. But there is one other name who also belongs in the Hall Of Fame. Brian Epstein. As has been the case very single year since the start of the Hall of Fame - his name has NEVER EVEN BEEN INCLUDED on the list of non-performers selected by the Hall's Nominating Committee to be considered for induction. So he hasn’t had a prayer of being inducted so far. Actually - without your help and the help of millions of Beatles fans - he hasn't got a prayer period. He's history. Literally. Very few people even give a damn. Certainly no one on the Hall of Fame Nominating Committee thinks he's important enough. By the way - we're talking about THE MAN WHO GAVE THE WORLD THE BEATLES! While selection for induction into the Hall of Fame should certainly not be a popularity contest – there has to be some way in which such a grave oversight can be respectfully brought to the attention of those who have the power to remedy this travesty. The way we are doing it is by collecting signatures on a petition. So if you love the Beatles - and are grateful that they ever touched your life - please give 30 seconds of your time and touch this sentence. It's a small way of saluting the memory of the man who gave us something very special.

The success of this campaign depends totally on public support. Before reading further - we respectfully urge all Beatle fans and admirers of Brian Epstein to click here for Brian. It's a way of saluting the memory of the man who gave us something very special. Brian Epstein is the man who discovered the Beatles, and guided them to mega-stardom, making them the most successful musical artists of all time. Without Brian, the Beatles as we came to know them, simply wouldn't have existed. But, regrettably, the man who did so much for the Beatles - and who died tragically in 1967 - has become a comparatively forgotten man since his death. Almost a Nowhere Man. The good news is that there is now a long-overdue revival of interest in this great man and his achievements. The movement began with the reissue in the USA in 1998 of Brian Epstein's autobiography - A Cellarful Of Noise. The new edition of this book is published by Byron Preiss Multi-media Books in its Rhino Retrospective series and it is distributed by Pocket Books. List price is $9.95. The book contains a new introduction by Sir George Martin - and an extensive companion narrative by leading Beatles historian and authority Martin Lewis - who is the driving force behind the campaign to restore Epstein's reputation. This official website - which was also the first website dedicated to Brian Epstein - has been created to honor Epstein and to share all the news and information about the revival of appreciation - and to provide background and context for those who are interested in the man behind the Beatles. Among the many facets of this revival is the campaign to have Brian Epstein inducted into the non-performers' section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (alongside other music industry vanguards such as Sam Phillips, Bill Graham and Berry Gordy). The Hall of Fame campaign is sponsored by Beatlefest - organizers of the official Beatles fan conventions and is proudly hosted by Beatles historian Martin Lewis. This website gives you the opportunity to sign on-line the worldwide petition for this campaign. It also allows you to download a hard copy of the petition form with which to gather signatures at any locations where there might be gatherings of people who cherish the Beatles, such as the workplace, academic institutions, concerts, parties and family events. So far, the combined on-line and hardcopy petitions contain a total of 30,114 signatures! That is a wonderful start. But there are millions of people in our world grateful to have the Beatles in their life. Please make it a little project of yours to recruit all your Beatle-loving family, friends, work colleagues or schoolmates to the cause. Our target is at least 100,000 signatures! The Hall of Fame would find it hard to ignore that! Remember - There's Nothing You Can Do That Can't Be Done!
