Best of the Beatles

I am currently watching this odd PBS show in which family members and friends of Pete declare the Beatles wouldn't have made it without him. Notwithstanding the fact that they DID, they then go on to give us a detailed birth to beyond biography. Watched it out of boredom. They did not make the case.

Beatlemaniac LAGuy adds: They dumped him when they finally got a recording contract. They must have had a good reason, the most likely being he just couldn't cut it (which George Martin seems to agree with). His defenders claim he didn't fit in, or they were jealous (he was the best-looking), but if that was so, why not dump him earlier? The got rid of him precisely at the point when they knew they had to be at their best musically.
