McCartney, recounting the genesis of "Yesterday" in The Beatles Anthology, marveled at its unprecedented success while embracing the mystical nature of musical creation. However, the financial aspect marred his elation, with only a 15% share in its profits, a fraction he deemed unjust, attributing it to the managerial decisions of Brian Epstein, The Beatles' manager. Despite its brilliance, the band hesitated to release "Yesterday" in England, initially feeling self-conscious about its departure from their rock'n'roll identity.
