11. “ In the sixties, the public’s hunger for all things Beatle sent music industry bigwigs both here and abroad scurrying in search of anything remotely like them. Even Brian Epstein [The Beatles’ manager] recruited a few of his own makeshift Mop Tops to cash in on the Beatle explosion. When groups couldn’t be found, they were often manufactured to order”(Stallings 94). 2. After the success of The Beatles, music managers hustled to create groups that were similar. The Beatles manager, Brian Epstein, also joined this movement and created groups with a similar sound and image (Stallings 94). This one is accurately paraphrased. The writer has used her own words and sentence structure to convey the essence of the passage. 3. After The Beatles became really successful, industry bigwigs went scurrying to find groups remotely like the band. Even The Beatles manager, Brian Epstein, recreated similar Mop Top type groups to cash in on the success (Stallings 94).
