Richard DiLello worked at the London headquarters of Apple, The Beatles' erratic enterprise in business and music, from the summer of 1968 until August 1970, advancing from the undefined position of "House Hippie" to a brief and final role as Director of Public Relations. This book is a candid account of the dramatic chaos within Apple, from the Hell's Angels who took up residence in the building to The Beatles' final concert on the roof of 3 Savile Row, and the group's slow and painful dissolution.
First published in 1972 and now considered a classic, The Longest Cocktail Party is an immensely poignant portrait of the demise of The Beatles, a social document of pop culture and a narrative of the death of the '60s dream.
