As part of their campaign to encourage everyone to eat a healthy vegetarian diet, paulandlinda launched “Give Peas a Chance” on 30 February, 1970. During the accompanying tour portion, they’d visit the gardens (private and community) of fans who’d renounced meat and sing/play a few new vegetative numbers on acoustic guitar and (multiple) tambourines, after which they’d present them with seeds to plant on the spot, all whIle being recorded on Sony 7/8″ videotape. Nothing (nothing) could possibly have gone wrong.
What went wrong?

Well, since videotape was not commercialized until 80 years after the event everything went wrong. They were, indeed, pretending that they were recording.When people realized they wouldn’t be able to watch the recording at their homes, on a lazy and boring sunday afternoon, sitting in a sofa with a sister or two they all got upset and miserable. Faces grew long, knickers were down and socks were pulled up. It couldn’t get much worse. how did it get worse?

Several main roads across the Midlands were closed for repair, the weather forecasters went on strike, the price of satsumas skyrocketed beyond belief and the bride ran away with the best man! All because of the videotape! But enough with these Goon Show-esque ramblings.

It is a truth previously unknown (even by Mark Lewisohn) that during the recording of Bungalow Bill, the Beatles were made aware that Ringo had won four tickets to Junction 12 of the M1. As fans of the new motorway system, they were delighted when Neil burst in through the studio door whilst the band were in the middle of recording.

What did the critics have to say about Pete Best’s 1973 solo #1 hit single, “Holograph”, from his R&B chart-topping “Pete” album (released February 31, 1973, and featuring instrumental and compositional contributions from Yoko Ono, Pattie Harrison, and Linda McCartney)?

This is a trick question, as it would suggest weapons were used. However, as George and Eric liked each other (not in that way – Ed) they both agreed that whovever could write the best love song for Patti could claim her for his own. As this was the 1960s, Patti didn’t get any say in the matter.
George, being a Beatle, was allowed to go first. He wrote a song called Honestly Patti, I Love You More Than All The Women I’ve Slept With Since 1964 (And Believe Me, There’s Been a Few). Mark Lewisohn is one of only four people to have heard the song, and he describes it as a cross between Greensleeves and Black Sabbath.
Having heard George’s song, Eric was determined to outdo his rival*. He spent weeks, months even, trying to wriite the perfect love song. To get inspiraiton, he read all of Shakespeare’s sonnets and went to the seaside to look at some saucy postcards. Finally, he managed to write and record a song he was sure would defeat George’s effort – which as you’ll remember, was a cross between There’ll Be Bluebirds Over (The White Cliffs Of Dover) and an LSD trip.
Patti and George listened to Eric’s song. They agreed it was great, much better than George’s song. but George had one question.
‘What is it?’ asked Eric, arrogantly. George looked at Patti and then at Eric.
‘What’s my wife’s name?’
Eric looked confused. ‘That’s your question?’
‘Yes, what’s her name?’
‘Layla!’ Eric replied in a confident manner.
George looked at Eric and shook his head. Eric looked confused. George stood up and took Patti by the hand, and together they walked out of Eric’s house.
*As a side note, Rocky Racoon is actually about the Eric-Patti-George love triangle. True story.

I saw a copy of that 1967 Limited Edition on ebay for $2,650.
Brian went to the Cavern looking for money. That’s what he wanted. Ka-ching!
OMG, I felt dirty writing that. I know that isn’t why you fell in love with The Beatles, Brian. Please forgive me. This is just a game.
