The people George most blamed for the biscuit fiasco.

Why is it Lennon/McCartney and not McCartney/Lennon and who really cares?

Because Lennon is older than McCartney. And no one cares except Faul, who is older than John and Paul. 

 

Where did John meet Paul for the first time?

At a counselling session after both heard Pete Best play drums in different clubs around Liverpool. Unfortunately for them they were persuaded that Pete really could drum and decided to add him to the band after it was formed.

 

Why did Pete leave the Beatles in August 1962?

They weren’t going anywhere and didn’t appreciate his talent.

What did the Beatles insist upon in their contract renegotiations with EMI?

Its an ailment George got on his foot when staying at the Savoy Hotel in 1966 after the Beatles had quit touring; I wont go into the details as some people may be eating their dinner but the cure is getting it scrapped off. Wanting more song time on Beatles albums George wrote a song about it having not much else to say being the Quiet Beatle. It was the inspiration to Monty Python’s ‘Medical Song‘.

 

What was the reasoning behind the Beatles releasing their first double album in the UK in November 1968?

Because where else would they release their first double album? Egypt? Mexico? Belgium? 

 

What inspired the Beatles to change their Sgt. Pepper ‘s band on the cover away from ninety-nine portraits of Gandhi?

The UK release was a bit late. OK, it was really really late. Look, it was the 1960’s, everyone was high.

What groundbreaking single was included as part of Magical Mystery Tour ?

Paul. His first tweet was “It was all me, the other three just contributed”.

What Twitter controversy led to Ringo blocking Paul?

Paul started a “Ringo died in 1966 and was replaced by Bingo Star” rumor via Twitter.

 

What was the informal name of the period in the 1970’s when John and Yoko broke up and what did John do during that time period?

It was called the Mind Games period which inspired an album of the same name. During this time John was trying to make a lot of dough – but realised it would be easier to do that by making a new record rather than by working as a baker.

Towards the end of this period he recorded an album of classical music. What was it called?

Classical Music. It was in response to a lawsuit over the Ahhhs in A Day In The Life which were claimed to be a direct steal from a concerto by Bach. Lennon had to record at least 3 Bach compositions (he chose two fugues and a remarkable rework of a flute sonata for guitar) to satisfy the terms of the lawsuit and he threw in some piano works by Mozart and Beethoven. Controversially, the album was late (due to Jeff Lynne running away with the master after a breakdown) and Lennon had to stave off yet another lawsuit by adding Trois Gymnopédies by Satie. Ironically it was this last cover that led to the album selling well and a top 5 hit with Gymnopédies I

Paul also recorded a classical album, what was it called and what led to it’s recording?

It was called “Give My Regards to Beethoven” and was coincidentally also inspired by some stolen master tapes; with Bingo Bach being the main suspect. It included an enthralling classical rendition of Eleanor Biggs after the train robber of the same name.

What other Beatles songs were inspired by Beethoven?

Ode to Pot, Happiness Is A Twilight Sonata, and Concerto #9 for Ukulele, Tampura and Spoons. It’s also rumoured that Beethoven’s estate threatened a lawsuit for Because but accepted the royalties from Classical Music in lieu.

Ringo Starr attempted a classical album of his own but notoriously it flopped even after help from George. What was it called?
