Caught this documentary about rock managers which includes a fascinating section about a certain Don Arden! I knew the guy was dodgy, but bloody hell!!! It's also a very entertaining look at managers from Tom Parker onwards including Led Zep's notorious Peter Grant who appeared to be Don Arden, mark ll, but not quite as bad. It's on the BBC iPlayer for the next few weeks. For those outside the UK it is also available on YouTube.

Don Arden's motto - "always F the artist before the artist F's you"
how long did it take ELO to break away?

Don Arden's motto - "always F the artist before the artist F's you" how long did it take ELO to break away? Must have been just after Secret Messages,when they signed to Epic. Strange that they signed with him in the first place when his notorious reputation was already well known in the business. They should have asked The Small Faces, who got royally screwed by him! And yet when Bev started Part ll, who did he turn to!?
