I guess that's what happens when all you have in life are music and money. I'd love to be a musician, but to become famous might be a bit much. I feel I could handle it but...

Well, if it happens for you it's going be different for everybody...the Beatles were just about the biggest entertainment act of the 20th Century so it was a lot different for them than normal fame!!

CDucks BEATLE TOTD
There is only one Beatles piece that has not been heard on record, official release or bootleg. It is a piece called 'Carnival of light' that was made for an avant garde art and film happening in 1967. It has been described as nothing more than a load of electronic noise with no beat, melody or lyrics!

Cduck, what d`you think about this. My mother saw the pre-famous Beatles at Handsworth Plaza, Birmingham. The band that she co-managed with my late father, called The Silhouettes, were on the other side of the revolving stage setting up whilst The Beatles played. She remembers asking: "Is their name `The Beatless`? Well they are a very good band, but they are beatless, they need to change that drummer!" So you see, she pre-empted George Martin, who told John Paul and George exactly the same thing. By the way, those Silhouettes were a cla** act who decided to pack it in when the Beatles and many other British bands finally achieved national fame. They, sadly, believed that their Thunder had been stolen, became too down-hearted, so called it a day. Mom begged them to carry on, but to no avail. When Ringo joined the Beatles permanently, having "sat in" with them on many occasions when Pete Best was ill, it was a cue for a Legend.

In that case, I'd like to thank your mother for putting the finishing touches on the greatest band to have ever made music by recommending a personnel change.

CDucks BEATLE TOTD
Here are some of the alternate titles for Beatle albums:
Revolver...Magic circle, Beatles on Safari, Four side of the triangle, abracadabra...
The Beatles...A dolls house...it didn't get called that because another band beat them to it...a band called Family
Abbey Rd...Everest...after their engineers brand of cigarette, the idea was to go and take the album cover photo of the band stood at the foot of Mt. Everest...but they couldn't be bothered so they called it Abbey rd. after the st. on which stood the studio they recorded virtually all of their songs...and just walked outside to take the famous photo of them on the Abbey rd. zebra crossing.

CDuck's BEATLE TOTD
The Beatles record company tried to stop the Beatles 2nd LP, With the Beatles, being released with the cover photo the group had chosen because they weren't smiling.The photo, a black and white portrait, was taken in a corridor in a hotel in Bournmouth and was based on the style of deceased former bandmember Stu Sutcliffes girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr.

I like every aspect of The Beatles, even when they didn't do originals. Most of the second CD is hilarious.

CDUCKS BEATLE TOTD
The first female voices heard on a Beatle recording was as part of the Yellow Submarine climax singalong...M.Faithful and Patti Harrison.
There were similar female appearances on All you need is love and Hey Jude.
Some fans were hanging around outside Abbey Rd. studio one day in 1968 when Paul came out and asked if any cld. sing after a brief audition he then invited two of them Lizzie Bravo and Gayleen Pease to sing backing vocals on Across the universe...they appear on the version relased on a charity album called Nothings gonna change our world.
There is only one instance of a female vocal being heard solo on a Beatle song...Yoko ono when she sing a line on The continuing story of Bunalow Bill.

CDUCKS BEATLE TOTD
The group that the beatles emerged from was a group started by John Lennon in 1956 called first,breifly, the Black Jacks and then the Quarrymen after the school he was at, Quarrybank high. Paul McCartney joined a few months later and George Harrison joined in feb. 1958.
They changed they're name then to Johnny and the moondogs and then to the silver beetles!!
It is still unclear how and when or who first came up with the name...the actual word beetle is thought to be either a tribute to Buddy Holly's backing band the crickets or from the film the wild ones where the bikers girlfriends gang are called the beetles...McCartney mentions this in his biog. and says they didn't realise they'd named themselves after a gang of girls...Mccartney also claimed in a 2000 interview that it was he who came up with the pun to change it to Beatles...for obvious reasons...
Other reports say that it was the groups then bassist Stuart Sutcliffe but most, inc. his wife and in some yt footage the other Beatles attribute it to John Lennon...the truth will probably never been known!!!
