 FACT: Andrew Loog Oldham (qv) tries to convince  The Rolling Stones (qv) to take him on as  manager by telling them "I broke The Beatles (qv) in America." In  truth, Andrews ties with the Beatles (he worked for their manager  Brian Epstein (I) (qv) for a spell) ended long before they broke  in America. One could argue Andrews claim was merely a bluff, but  being as Andrew became the Rolling Stones manager in April 1963,  ten months before the Beatles broke in America, there was no  American breakthrough to even bluff a credit claim for.
