Let's see if there is any more interest in Beatles trivia.
Who were Harold, Louise, Peter and Michael?
Who was Harry Graves?
Who were Harold Wilson and Edward Heath and how do they figure in Beatles history?
What was the Scaffold?

John Lennon wrote "One After 909" when he was 15.

Thanks for the bump Greg. Off the top of my head I know the answer to 2 of your 4 questions. I will pick the one that has always been my favourite:
Who were Harold Wilson and Edward Heath and how do they figure in Beatles history? When Taxman came out Harold Wilson was the then Prime Minister and Edward (Ted) Heath was the leader of the opposition. So The Beatles were being quite cheeky by singing "Aah ahh Mr Wilson, Aah ahh Mr Heath" directly to these two people. Harold Wilson was the one who brought in the super high tax band for 'un-earned' income but I think The Beatles wanted to even up the political dig by singing to both sides of the house. I’ll answer another one if the thread goes quiet again

He shoots. He scores! Right on, Nigel! I always loved it when the Beatles would name check people in their songs.
Feel free to tackle the other questions if no one else jumps in.

Let's drag this one back up folks.
Question: Without looking, what celbrities can you name who are on the Sgt. Pepper album cover.
Here's mine. Marilyn Monroe,
WC Fields
Mick Jagger
Tony Curtis
Oswald....
If you know them all, please just name a few to leave room for others to guess.

Thanks Iggy. Of Course Johnny Daubert is there, (somewhere).
I've always wondered if the old Beatles on the Sgt. Pepper cover were really the old Beatles. They look like different people dressed up like the old Beatles.

"From Me To You" was the first song I heard by The Beatles. It was the summer of 1963, and Del Shannon had out the same song. Both were on radio. I actually liked Del's version better at the time. That soon changed.

Sorry Vic, but we've always had these silly little trivia type threads. Even before I became a member of JPF in '06. You have the choice to ignore it. This is a General forum, we have a Song Writing forum that we use to "Get back to song song writing". Sorry to have bothered you.

Just out of interest I received a Tweet today saying that only seven people featured on the cover of "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" are alive today So I'll just set that hare running
