"A Cellarful of Noise" is the title of Brian Epstein's 1964 autobiography. Some allege that Derek Taylor was the ghostwriter of the book [http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/artistbio.asp?CTR=173877] , which describes the early days of The Beatles, whom Epstein managed.

John Lennon was quoted as saying that the book should be titled "A Cellarful of Boys" in reference to Epstein's homosexuality. Before this, Brian asked Lennon what he thought the book should be called and Lennon suggested Queer Jew.

In the 1978 film, "All You Need is Cash", Leggy Mountbatten's, manager of the Rutles and parody of Epstein, book is titled "A Cellarful of Goys", a reference to Epstein's being Jewish.
