So how popular WAS Man of the World then?

I have heard ,or read that the Beatles' Apple label were interested in signing the Mac when they were up for grabs, after Clifford Davis noticed that Blue Horizon had failed to renew their option in time . Hence their signing to the Immediate label to release Man of the World when presumably the Beatles ( and oher parties ?)weren't interested enough.
(Of course George Harrison'.s wife Patti was the sister of Mick's wife,Jenny. so obviously they knew each other to some extent .)
