I don't think so! It only seemed like there were all girls in the audience.

The first Beatles concert at Shea Stadium was on August 15, 1965. Interestingly, among the 55,000 screaming, worshiping fans were two future Beatle wives.... both Linda Eastman and Barbara Bach (the future wives of Paul and Ringo, respectively, of course).

George Harrison produced Monty Python's Lumberjack Song. He also appeared live, unannounced, as a mountie on stage with the Pythons for the song a couple times.

"Introducing George Harrison as Pirate Bob" I bet he did that because they said he "pirated" He's So Fine for My Sweet Lord!

Something I just learned... the opening to The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill there is a flamenco guitar. But it's not a flamenco guitar. It's the mellotron. I had no idea. Pretty cool.

What sounds like a male falsetto part in "Bungalow Bill" is Yoko making her "singing" debut on a Beatles album and you can also hear her voice in some of the choruses. : Her voice can be heard again on The White Album in "Revolution #9."

According to George Harrison at the end of "Long, Long, Long" you can hear a wine bottle that they were drinking wine from in the studio inadvertently rattling atop a Leslie speaker cabinet. It was decided that it would be left in the final mix.

I used this in one of my "what's in the box" clues! A bottle of Blue Nun.

I remember when I was very young I thought John sang this part and was trying to sound like a little girl but doing a really bad job of it

I recognized Yoko right away singing the "not when he looked so fierce" line. I think Linda and Pattie are on the White Album too, singing backup, aren't they?

My book says Yoko and Patti were on Birthday. But they state that some sources say Linda sang too.

I can't find anything about Linda on the White Album now. Guess it was all in my mind.

Here it says Linda was the only one who did not sing on The White album: http://www.funtrivia.com/en/Music/White-Album-12431.html It's in a green heading.

The Beatles Bible site has a lot of good info, and according to their White Album entry Linda is not credited (or uncredited): http://www.beatlesbible.com/albums/the-beatles-white-album/ Maureen, Yoko, and Patti are there though.
