After reading a post by @Necko, I realized we don’t have an appreciation thread about Neil. Until now.

What an incredibly loyal servant to the Beatles. It’s just a shame we never really got to access all those great Beatle anecdotes that he must have had stored away in his head. A Neil Aspinall memoirs book would have been incredible.

Offline To be honest, I think some people probably breathe easy that Aspinall never did his memoir. He certainly was the gatekeeper.

Offline Right. We all know the “whats” (what they were and what they did). He knew the “hows” and the “whos”. Many a secret died with him.

I think even a cleaned up version would have been great.

Offline Sorry if this is a topic that’s come up before.
I’ve been on somewhat of a Beatles binge over the last 2 weeks, re-watching Get Back , and digging back into the Anthology documentary.
I’m wondering what the general consensus is on Neil Aspinall? I have no real grounds to feel this way, but watching him, I dunno, he gives me the creeps. Do people feel he was a positive force for the Beatles? I know he tried to re-organise Apple after Brian’s death and even after the dreaded Klein was long gone. But again, I just get a sense there might be something more complicated and complex around him that maybe never saw the light of day.
