About
On December 9, 1967, Billboard published an article announcing that Allen Klein, the business manager of the Rolling Stones, was to create a new record label and that The Beatles might join it. This was dismissed a week later by Nathan Weiss, president of NEMPRA Artists Ltd., American representative of NEMS, who said “The Beatles are contracted to EMI for eight and one-half years and plan no association with Klein.”
NO BEATLES, KLEIN LINK
NEW YORK — Nathan Weiss, president of NEMPRA Artists Ltd., American representative of NEMS, stated last week that there is no truth to the report that the Beatles might be associated with a new label planned by Allen Klein. In a London story in last week’s Billboard, Klein indicated there was such a possibility. Weiss in answer to the Klein report told Billboard that “The Beatles are contracted to EMI for eight and one-half years and plan no association with Klein.”
