Capitol Records was not only important in the Beatles’ lives; it was important in mine, too. Peter & Gordon were signed to EMI Records in London and that, of course, gave Capitol Records the right to put out our first record, “A World Without Love,” in America if they so chose. And I’m delighted to say they did choose to do so, and it, too, went to No. 1. Yet another debt I owe to the Beatles, of course—without their prior success, Capitol would not have been nearly as welcoming, I have no doubt!
