H. Coleman – Tailor & Sewing Alterations

Brian saw the Beatles enter and followed them in. It was the trousers that was the main attraction (they were tight, very tight) so he went in to ask and they all got chatting. Brian there and then offered to buy Coleman’s but was refused so instead signed the Beatles.

 

What was the name of the third reunion track that was planned to be the lead-off single for ‘Anthology 3 ‘? Why wasn’t it released? What was released in its place?

Yes, but Faul isn’t. He’s naturally right-handed, but plays, writes, and acts lefty.

All Things Must Pass ‘. As George had already done it, they released Ride Rajbun instead.

Nothing Is Left To The Imagination, of which Bowie would only enigmatically say “trousers”. That Bowie, he was a card.

What did Paul need three timpani, twenty recorders, a scottish pipe band, and a pod of whales for?

 Ringo’s favourite albumBand On The Run . Though, in the case of the whales, it was Band On The Swim… but that wasn’t quite as catchy, I suppose.

Sugar. John and George were on strict sugar-free diets at the time, so that was a no-no. Bad dentist. 

 

John wrote a song based upon this anecdote; what was it?
