So you think you know everything about the Beatles? OK, class, time for a short test. 1) Whose entire speaking part in the film "A Hard Day's Night" was the single word "Prisoners"? 2) Describe the near-catastrophe in May 1963 that would have cut short Beatle history. 3) What is "URO 913E"?
The answers to these and more than 800 other questions are contained in Beatle Significa, a new 52-card game full of facts about the Fab Four. The questions cover events in the lives of the Beatles as well as song lyrics and titles, including some of their lesser known numbers performed only for the BBC or in concert.
Beatle Significa can be ordered by sending $3 plus $1 postage and handling to White Album Editions, Box 1114-CM, Lanham, Md. 20706.
The answers to the three questions above: 1) Pattie Boyd. 2) Paul almost drowned. 3) The license number of the "Magical Mystery Tour" bus.
