Joe’s entry says it’s Paul on vocal and Paul on guitar, no John, George or Ringo; therefore DO’s answer is wrong.

Joe’s entries don’t always say everything. For example, read this post that Joe wrote regarding Revolution 9 .

Joe said
In the line-up I’m ignoring various performances that were taken from other recordings, mainly Revolution 1 and A Day In The Life , and concentrating instead on who did what for the actual sound collage.

It’s pretty clear that he felt the need not to list it because it’s only one note.

i am not into this game at all but i think that questions that lead to subjective answers should not be valid  

I wouldn’t consider it subjective, a subjective question would be like who sang the ahhhs in A Day In The Life . The note is obviously there, there’s no doubt about it, you can hear that 1st note pretty clearly, it’s undeniably there.

Its all good @Dark Overlord Let’s move on to the next question. I’ll try again for 500.   

Sounds good to me.

I’ve never denied it’s there.

I know that, however since they didn’t remove it, i consider that closing chord from Mean Mr. Mustard to be part of Her Majesty . There are many songs that use edits similar to this, Strawberry Fields Forever comes to mind, so does the outro of Get Back , which was an edit piece of the live version despite the album version being recorded in the studio. Therefore i feel that the opening chord is part of the song.  

 

Strawberry Fields Forever ‘ and ‘Get Back ‘ have edits but they are all of the same song, you cannot claim they are similar.

What you hear on ‘Her Majesty ‘ is the end chord of ‘Mean Mister Mustard’ followed by ‘Her Majesty ‘ which is missing the last chord, which is somewhere in ‘Polythene Pam ‘.

Read any book and they will tell you that ‘Her Majesty ‘ begins with the end of ‘Mean Mister Mustard’ – or you can just ignore that.   

Clearly, you’re set in in your answer and have chosen to ignore what I have written so what’s the point in discussing.

That quote isn’t from you, someone else called it a subjective question so i pointed out how the note is clearly there.

I don’t know, for some reason this whole debate got so crazy that it filled up an entire page.

Love and Relationship sounds hard, so I’ll choose a 200 points question, please.

Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

It looks like you two could be museum tour guides because you’re both correct.

Mal moves 6 spaces to sales and releases.

Andy moves 5 spaces to instrumentation.

That sounds to me like Magical Mystery Tour

But I’m only 80% certain. Still, If it isn’t MMT, I don’t know what it would be, so I’ll say Magical Mystery Tour .

Sorry there, you had such a good streak going there but the correct answer was A Collection Of Beatles Oldies, you lose 200 points.

Mal moves 5 spaces to books but will you look at that, Mal found out that EMI had an 8 track machine hidden in the closet so he takes it out and it really helps our friends The Beatles out so he moves up the 8 track road and lands on a Fontan Of Nots square.

Mal:

A4, S5, 1300P

Mark:

A3, S13, 1500P

Andy:

A3, S8, 1700P

Ron Nasty:

A3, S2, 2500P

The fontan of nots is essentially a game of prove me not, i will give you an incorrect piece of information and you have to prove me wrong. If you succeed, you get 1,000 points. However, if you give me an answer that i can contradict, then you get nothing.

Today’s fun fact of the day:

Paul’s guitar solo on Taxman was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix’s guitar playing.

Oops! Apologies, @Dark Overlord!

Maybe it might have been better had you called it “The Fontan of Nots says”.

Apologies, again!
