Jus tread a quote that Brian Epstein once sacked a member of the Dakota's. Was part of his duties sacking people in bands I though the Pete Best issue was a one off.

I hadn't heard that. But it does remind me of a Saturday Night Live sketch, wherein the early Beatles have a trombone player named Albert Goldman. Elvis goes to see and hear the Beatles and tells them they are good, but they have to get rid of their trombone player. And someone has to tell him he is being fired from the group. Since John Lennon is the "leader" of the group, the task falls on him.
This sketch appeared on SNL shortly after Albert Goldman had written scathing biographies of Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
