End: your stuff in ordinary type, mine in bold.
Good grief! I thought it was pretty obvious: "Out of all the singles released by "The Beatles" on Parlophone/Apple between 1962 to present day..."
Did The Beatles release singles on Parlophone in the US? NO! It should have been obvious, especially to an "afficionado" such as yourself, that I was referring to UK releases!
There ARE other countries than the US and UK. Parlophone is a label in MANY countries. I already told you that (quote: "Parlophone is not just a UK company") but you missed it. I know that Roll Over Beethoven, on Parlophone, was a Beatles A-side in several countries. You didn't mention countries initially, and you should have.
Did Free As A Bird and Real Love have "The Beatles" written on the record label? YES!
Is it up to YOU to decide what a "Beatles" record is? NO!
In fact, this matter is very debatable, and we have discussed it here on this very board. An important aspect of this is that George Harrison was very uncomfortable with what they were doing with John's material and putting it out as Beatles product. As a result, he nixed the third song. You should have been aware of this controversy, and clarified the situation intially.
Does "present day" mean all their mexican singles released up to 1970? NO!
Please use the thread in the spirit it was intended - and if you don't know the answer, just ask!
Well, I think you're a sloppy trivia merchant. You slipped up, and I think you know it. Why haven't you got the courage to admit you were slack in your phrasing? I tell you, you'd be lynched at a Trivia Competition with your standards!
