Happy About announces the release of "All You Need Is Luck... How I Got a Record Deal by Meeting Paul McCartney"

Cupertino, CA June 9, 2008– Happy About today announces the U.K. release of “All You Need Is Luck...How I Got a Record Deal by Meeting Paul McCartney” written by Paul Tennant. However, this is not just another story about the Beatles and the magical l960s, although they do feature heavily in it. It is also the tale of reaching for the stars and achieving every teenage boy’s ambition. It’s an adventure that took Tennant on an exciting journey from the back streets of Liverpool in l959 to the heart of the Beatles empire in London in l967.

All You Need is Luck tells of Tennant’s teenage hopes and dreams and how he was finally able to achieve them - through luck, talent and perseverance. This story talks of the struggles in a working-class family, with a parent ailing from Multiple Sclerosis, and how a child was able to overcome these hard times to eventually make a record and hit the big time in London. It is an inspiration to any young musician, and any person who has ever had a dream.

Paul Tennant knew that in l967, the Fab Four could do no wrong and were at the top of their profession. It was The Summer of Love and after a chance meeting in Hyde Park with Paul McCartney and a car chase through the streets of London, Paul Tennant was able to approach the celebrity and persuade him to help get a record deal through the Beatles’ brand new company, Apple. And so then, there Paul was, right at the heart of it, making music for Apple and being paid for it, staying at John Lennon’s house, borrowing his and George Harrison’s guitars, hanging out with huge stars of the era, meeting tons of girls-- and loving every minute of it!
And just when he had it in the palm of his hands…he let it all slip away.
