When I was rummaging in my big cupboard I found some bits and pieces which I thought I had thrown out many years ago. I was absolutely delighted to find that I had kept this -

The Beatles Quiz Book from 1964 - although, of course you will understand that I was only a baby at the time (ahem)!
It has a couple of good photographs and lots of black and white illustrations.
Some of the questions are a bit obscure, but I remember my friends and I trying to memorise the answers!
There are questions on the individuals, their hits, films, early years, etc - fantastic!
OK - here's a few questions - remember this is from 1964 - see how many you can answer!
How did the Beatle fans get their ardour cooled in Glasgow? What made the Beatles cry? What is the Beatles favourite dance? Fashion-wise, what do all the Beatles have in common?I'll put the answers in the comments section.

Ok, how many did you get right?
1. A security man turned a hose on them at Scottish Television studios.
2. An onion sent to them by a fan.
3. The "Mashed Potato" Twist.
4. Trouser bottoms of 14 ½ inches.
I told you there were some obscure answers!

The mashed potato twist??? What? Never even heard of it!! lol I knew the 4th one. The others....not so much.
I am a failed Beatles fan.....hangs head in shame......still love their music though x
I love this , being an old Beatles fan too . Saw them in 1965 when they came across the pond to visit again. I couldn't answer any of those questions though .
I have a picture of them hanging over my window in my work room that my son gave me a few years back . Helps me to remember my youth. lol
Ok - I'll admit that I looked for some of the most obscure questions! But 60s sense of humour does seem to be a bit different!

That is a great pic Liz. Sorry but my knowledge on The Beatles is extremely limited. My favourite Beatles song is Norwegian Wood, that's all I've got for you x
Love your post -fun quiz.
Great book, I was a bit rubbish on the questions though ;o) Scarlett x
I am afraid that I didn't have a clue about any of them - a bit before I woke up to music! They all used to look so smart. I was more of a New Romantic girl - shawls, big hair and lots of make up!
