I forgot to say, those photos! I've never seen so many wide-open mouths in my life. 

Mary Poppins would have disapproved.

Interesting. I'm sure I've read the story of him buying the copies of Love Me Do in order to boost its chart performance at least three times, but other than Shout! I can't remember which books mentioned it. 

I had no idea the charts did not function on the basis of sales, so thanks for clarifying.

Yes I’ve read it several places. I think first in Shout. But how much was just one article repeating another it’s hard to know. It’s also one of those stories people like to believe as it seems the sort of thing people will do.

George Martin said that on tour people were constantly bringing paraplegics to meet The Beatles in the hopes that the lads could cure their friends and family members through their ineffable stardom. He said, "It was like Jesus almost." Or, you know, bigger. 

I haven’t ever seen George Martin quoted saying that. It doesn’t quite seem his type of thing to say. But he did have a dry sense of humour so it’s hard to know for sure.

I'm not sure who said what but we do know that John once mocked the mentally and physically disabled on stage...
