Greek-born Alexis Mardas was a charismatic self-proclaimed inventor and
electronics wizard. During 1967 and 1968, The Beatles fell under his
spell and plouged valuable Apple cash into financing his wild and often
mythical inventions - which more often than not turned out to be
hopeless failures or just boxes of flashing coloured lights. At the
height of his influence, he offered to take them out of the drab
over-familiar surroundings of Abbey Road and build them a custom-made
recording studio in the Apple offices. The studio did appear but was of
such poor quality that The Beatles were forced to return to Abbey Road.
Their association with Alex was terminated shortly afterwards.
