Who was your favourite Beatle?

John, Paul, George or Ringo?


I didn't really have a favourite - loved them all!  Recently came across my Beatles Quiz Book from 1964.  It cost all of 2/6! 



Must have spent hours pouring over this with my friends, trying to learn as much about the Beatles as I possibly could.


Some great pictures and illustrations.


My very first LP - "Beatles for Sale" - got it for my Christmas all those years ago.  Cost 32/6 - a fortune in those days!


It is a wonder that it wasn't worn away as I played it so often on the record player.  Still play it occasionally - there's a very special sound when you play old records - takes you back!
Were you a Beatles fan?

Love, Liz

I liked Paul, I still do! I was a big Beatles fan until the Bee Gees came along. I really didn't care for the Beatles' later music. The Gibb brothers wrote and sang mostly love songs so they have been my favourite band of all time ever since.

How wonderful that you still have the Quiz Book and your first Beatles LP, Liz! I was only 3 years old in 1964, so only got to know the Beatles after they had split up, and I now have most of their albums. If push came to shove, I'd say John would be my favourite! xxx

John was my favorite! The quiz book is so fun! I still have all of my Beatles Albums from when I was young...they were played so much! I do have a record player again, I should get my albums out and play them!

I was always a fan of Paul. I still have some of their LPs that I play occasionally.

That's a blast from the past! George probably. 😊

Fantastic. £32/6! I remember that figure, because I have a very early memory (obviously, I wasn't actually born) of my parents discussing whether to buy 'With the Beatles' as a Christmas present for my big brother. Not only was it a lot of money, but it was 'pop' music...thin end of a dodgy wedge! There was always a Beatles LP at Christmas after that.

The Beatles were before my time, I wasn't born until 1968, but I do like their music. How lovely that you still have your quiz book.

I don't think I had a favorite either...but I liked John Lennon's voice a lot. What a innocent world most of us lived in back then. Fun post, Liz. xo Diana

I was more into Italian pop music in the mid to late 1960s. It was later that I appreciated some of the Beatles' music and now our granddaughter is at uni in Liverpool we shall be going at some time to see the places where it all started for them.

I loved them all but truly loved George. What great memories x

I was a 60's baby so didn't really know their music at the time.
How lovely to still have the quiz book
