Peter Asher Musical Memoir of the 60s & Beyond Sat.

The album was not a success, but Asher was so convinced that Taylor held great potential that he resigned his post at Apple to move to the United States and work as Taylors manager. He also produced a number of Taylors recordings from 1970 to 1985, including Sweet Baby James, Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, JT and Flag. In 1969, Asher was asked by George Harrison to look up an American band called Raven while he was in New York City (The Longest Cocktail Party, p. 119). He offered Raven an Apple Records recording contract in the kitchen of Steve Pauls Scene but the group turned it down and instead signed with Columbia Records.[6]
