   interesting arrangement". The BBC World Service went on to call it "a   
   very original and quite virtuoso arrangement". From Sony Music I read:   
   "..I was really impressed with the quality of the performance and your   
   new arrangement". If the song was good enough to generate such   
   comments, why wouldn't they play it ? ? ?   
      
   After the radio set-back I sent a CD of my adapted version of "Hey   
   Jude" to Paul McCartney at his office, asking if he could give me a   
   hand by contacting some of the radio station directors. A week later I   
   followed up by phoning his office, only to be met with one of the   
   secretaries, who in a rude and aggressive manner dismissed me with,:   
   "We've put your CD of "Hey Jude" in a cold cellar...". Why such a   
   violent reaction ? ?...   
      
   So I wrote to Paul McCartney. I even made 16 copies of  my letters and   
   mailed them separately to be sure that one of them at least got   
   through to him at his home. Yet I never had a reply.   
   Interestingly enough, just at that time I started to hear massive   
   outpourings of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" on the radio,and Paul McCartney   
   himself suddenly began performing live again at the "Cavern" in   
   Liverpool after years of inactivity.   
      
   It was during those same months that I was getting threatening,   
   anonymous phone calls on my mobile, warning me against giving live   
   performances or playing anywhere. The calls were always made from   
   public telephones.   
   One music agent whom I'd contacted in an effort to find myself a   
   manager, apologized, saying: "I'm sorry, but I cannot use you...". He   
   refused to say why and hung up on me.   
   That was when I realized what a huge operation I was up against. So   
   huge, in fact, that in the three and a half years I have been in   
   England this second stay I have as yet to give my first live concert   
   or perform anywhere, despite having contacted more than 20 music   
   agents.   
      
   Five months after my "Hey Jude" was blocked on British radio stations   
   the latest Beatles' CD came out. This was the second time that my   
   adaptation of "Hey Jude" had caused a Beatles' Anthology to appear..It   
   seems some people regard my "Hey Jude" as a threat...   
      
   And as another "coincidence", the e-mail address that Paul McCartney   
   offered for fans to write to him is called heyjude18@hotmail.com...as   
   I said before, after my Hey Jude got blocked on british radio, Paul   
   McCartney rushed in with concerts at the "Cavern" in Liverpool and   
   launched this second Beatles Anthology CD. Nevertheless, when he saw   
   that the concerts only gathered a very small audience and that the CD   
   did not sell as expected, now he pushed for a CD to come out of his   
   work with his group "Wings"...all this with no let-up, one thing after   
   another, like he was trying to gain time for something, wanting to be   
   constantly present in people's minds for some reason....It is with   
   sadness that I realize that possibly some people could be very afraid   
   of my Hey Jude....   
      
   Most recently, one of my piano tuning customers, who is involved with   
   the British music industry, said an aggressive letter had been forged   
   in my name and sent out to different  branches of the above mentioned   
   music industry and to other parts of the music world. This was further   
   confirmed by a DJ friend of mine in British radio...What vile extremes   
   will some people not resort to in their attempt to alienate others   
   from me???...   
      
   Also, as another "coincidence", one of the ten major record companies   
   in London that stole my "Shangri-la" cassettes, has just launched a CD   
   of one of their bands, being the band's CD title exactly the same as   
   my own, with the addition of a couple of words to make the title a   
   comical phrase !!! ..... They've launched it through one of their   
   branches in another part of the world.....I suspect this is a subtle   
   trap by this record firm expecting me to react to their action to   
   implicate me with that part of the world.....I will not fall into that   
   trap.....Now they are trying to block me in other parts of the world   
   as well.....it looks like some people consider my work something very   
   dangerous, judging by the amount of conspiracy they are   
   generating......once again, it is amazing to see the vile manoeuvres   
   of some people......   
      
   What I have said so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Depending on   
   how things go, the full iceberg may yet come to light in all its   
   magnitude. I don't want to blame anybody but I feel my story has to be   
   told.   
   I come looking to all music lovers to help me fight this horrible   
   multi-tentacled monster that has kept me and my work out of the public   
   eye and stolen my ideas.   
      
   It is because of this conspiracy against me that I have had to find   
   shelter on the Internet.   
   My and my work can only be found at my website. Look on search engines   
   for the name of Joseph Ferrante's website.   
   I invite you all to it.   
      
   Yours sincerely:   
      
   Joseph Ferrante.

                                   IN BRIEF   
                                   ========   
      
      
      
   Joseph Ferrante, the music genius that The Beatles and their record   
   firm blocked during 13 long years, in a gigantic plot which involved   
   different sectors of the music industry...

                                   ========   
      
      
      
   The adaptation of Hey Jude by Joseph Ferrante has been granted a   
   PUBLISHING AGREEMENT by the copyright owners. Due to this fact, the   
   people involved, not being able to stop it legally, use all kind of   
   vile and subreptitious and illegal manoeuvres to do it......   
   The only reason for this (and we must humbly say it because enough is   
   enough) is that the adaptation of Hey Jude by Ferrante makes the   
   original song look like an absolute nothing....They try to hide the   
   sun with a finger......   
      
   It is possible to hide things from all the people part of the time and   
   it is possible to hide things from part of the people all the time,   
   but it's impossible to hide things from all of the people all of the   
   time.. ..and what was done in the night, shows in daylight......   
      
   And the clear evidence showing that all these facts are true is that   
   the trascendental masterpiece made by Ferrante is not known by the   
   public, having Ferrante's adaptation of Hey Jude a publishing   
   agreement by the copyright owners and all.....   
      
      
      
   ---------------------------------4th. Part---------------------------   
      
      
      
   ...And not only they blocked the adaptation of Hey Jude by Joseph   
   Ferrante.....but they also blocked his own compositions, our dear   
   friend and reader.....   
   Hey Jude is one among nine songs on the "Shangri-La" CD....the other   
   eight are Ferrante's own compositions....they blocked those eight   
   songs as well......

                                  BREAKING NEWS   
                                  =============   
      
      
   And now, after the people involved and their big international firm   
   had used the pulling of strings and the traffic of influences with the   
   newspapers so that they wouldn't publish this article, they are also   
   trying to pretend in front of people as a big masquerade that Paul   
   McCartney still owns the copyright for Hey Jude, when in fact he sold   
   the rights of the Beatles' songs to three different international   
   entities.   
   Of these three international entities, Ferrante was granted a   
   PUBLISHING AGREEMENT for his adaptation of Hey Jude by the owners of
