Aw c'mon, they never used that mic onstage in live performance, did they.

And, it likely belonged to the recording company or studio owner, pulled from the mic locker.

The point is that there was plenty of marketing involved, as there is with any endeavor of that size and scope.

You keep talking about Vox amps being built stateside as if it did not help the British company's sales when thousands of young white kids who, for the first time in history, really, had access to amounts of money to spend hitherto never before seen.

Seeing the Beatles live with all Vox amps served as advertisement that did indeed effect the bottom line sales for the company here.

Even the few times the Beatles used a keyboard onstage, such as at Shea, they used a brit combo organ.


Look, I don't slight a guy for staying true to his nation's products. That's just good business practice.

And things like that don't happen by accident. It is a safe assumption that mfrs like Vox sent sales and marketing staff to the fab four acconmpanied by truckloads of dropoffs.
