Paul Merry Blues (and Rock) PaulMerry@mastodon.social

A rock music columnist and journalist on a provincial newspaper, Paul Merry was plucked from obscurity by Beatles PR man Tony Barrow and lured to London in 1970. Paul then cut his teeth in rock PR, writing press releases for such 'Tony Barrow International' clients as Paul McCartney and Wings and the Kinks as well as promoting then unknown bands like Deep Purple, Gentle Giant and Uriah Heap.

From there, Paul Merry went to CBS Records, then the world’s leading record company.
