George Martin and Brian Epstein R you kidding me?

BTW Nothing was bubblegum about the early Beatles although
their music was radio friendly and had catchy hooks to their
music .... it was very sophisticated* and outside of some covers
they wrote and preformed it all by themselves ..... and they
were very young when they did it too. They broke up when
they were in their late 20s or early 30s.

BTW the movie "A Hard Day's Night" was music videos long before MTV ever started.
