Nancy R:
Coke! Remember they always said Rum & Coke was their favorite? Or was it "Two lagers and lime, and two lagers and lime"?
Did they ever actually say that or was it just fan magazines?
And didn't they say Brigitte Bardot was their favorite "actress?" Or however/whatever they characterized her as being. Weren't various questions/answers listed on the back of the Introducing The Beatles ...Vee-Jay album....which got the jump on Capitol Records which, somehow, did not grasp what they had yet!!!?

As far as I know, rum & coke was their preferred drink, and Brigette Bardot was definitely John’s favorite.
There were no questions & answers on the back cover of Introducing The Beatles. -

Correct. I was unaware of that Vee-Jay album. I got the title wrong. The Vee-Jay album titled "BEATLES, Songs, Pictures, & Stories of the Fabulous Beatles Inside the album"....which I still have...has all that information...the likes, including Rum & Coke, Brigitte Bardot, etc., of each Beatle. I have read, regarding Vee-Jay, the company would have signed with Brian Epstein for the band....based on their Decca tapes.... two years earlier had the company not come upon hard times financially....and thus would have beaten Capitol by about 2 years. It would not have been the same and the band likely would not have been so overwhelming to the country as they were and when they were after appearing on Ed Sullivan, and having the Number 1 song in America. The timing, the promotion....or lack thereof, etc., would not have worked earlier. As it worked out, everything that needed to come together....did so...and the rest is history. It was the timing as well as the talent. That's my take.

Not sure if I have that album, will have to check (I’ve heard of it of course)
Vee-Jay went bankrupt because its president was embezzling from the company. -
Here’s Neil on Feb. 9, 1964, once again standing in for George. Ringo finally got his proper drumset!

May 1966 at Chiswick Park during the Rain video shoot. George is nearly hidden behind Brian Epstein. Also in photo is Tony Bramwell (1st in line), Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Alf Bicknell (their driver), Neil Aspinall, Tony Barrow and Mal Evans. Don’t know who the girl is - maybe Michael’s assistant. He’s the one with the camera.
ETA: This is what the caption said (my friend sent me) Still not convinced that is not Tony Bramwell on far left.
In 1966 the Beatles made a special promotional film for Paperback Writer' in the grounds of Chiswick House. Pictured here are almost the complete Beatles management and support team. They are (left to right): director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, John, chaffeur Alf Bicknell, Ringo, Neil Aspinall, Sue Mautner of The Beatles Book, Paul, one of the cameramen, Brian Epstein, George, Mal Evans and Tony Barrow.
The only person present at Chiswick House on that day who is quoted in the Anthology apart from the Beatles is Neil Aspinall. -
