[The End]

If you guess the answer, YOU get to post the next question... simple as that!

If there are any disputes, I'll consult my "Beatles For Dummies" book!!

Here we go, a nice easy one...

Out of all the singles released by "The Beatles" on Parlophone/Apple between 1962 to present day, which ones were not written by

[Bruno]

mmm, I'm not sure. We have The Inner Light, Something, Old brown shoe, You know my name... (I think it said it was written by all of them so it's not just L/M ) , Free as a Bird (composed by John and Paul added some bits, I don't if it counts) and Real Love

That's all I can think of for now

You Know My Name is a Lennon/McCartney effort.

Free As A Bird and Real Love are attributed to all four Beatles.

The question is too loose as posed. You'll have to restrict it to a country. Saying Apple/Parlophone opens the question up for too many variations. (Parlophone is not just a UK company).

During the years the group was together (up to 1970), only one A-side of a single (your stipulation, The End) in the UK was non Lennon/McCartney

Why don't you just answer the question, Maria?

Go read my last post again. Understand that I'm saying the question is too loose, as posed, to answer.

Sometimes I do wonder if some people actually read before responding!

[The End]

I love this thread already   Hee hee!

OK, the question applies to UK A-side singles released by EMI/Parlophone/Apple between 1962 to 2004 only (so Twist And Shout on Lingasong doesn't count!) - hope that helps... if not, please let me know

[tkitna]

Baby Its You
Something
Roll Over Beethoven
Boys
Slowdown

[zipp]

While waiting for Maria's ultimate answer which will probably take years of research checking all possible parameters, I shall hasard a futile guess and say three.

Something
Free as a Bird
Real Love

[zipp]

Whoops, make that four.
I forgot Baby,It's You.

I think we all need a group hug.

If a question is sloppy, then it's not answerable.

Free As A Bird and Real Love are not regarded as Beatles songs by many afficionados. The original question should have made it clear whether they were eligible or not.

BTW, you don't check parameters with research; you state parameters. Then you research the problem within those parameters.

[The End]

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!

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!

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!

End: your stuff in ordinary type, mine in bold.

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!

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!

LOL

OK, maybe it was a little "sloppy"! BUT, you really don't have to be so picky - I mean it is hardly likely I was referring to any releases on Parlophone other than their UK releases.

If I'm sloppy, you're pedantic! AND you STILL haven't answered the question!

I do have to be picky: otherwise the question is unanswerable. And why is it unlikely you were referring to anything other than UK releases? I'm not a mind reader!

Trivia questions are ALL ABOUT being pedantic!
