Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the first non-Beatle solo album by a Beatle released on Apple?

Answer: Wonderwall Music

George's all-instrumental LP was a soundtrack to the film of the same name. Released in 1968, it was also the first solo album by a Beatle. Paul did compose music for the movie "The Family Way" a couple years earlier but never performed on the album.

2. There are two releases that were actually triple albums.

Answer: True

Both were George Harrison releases. "All Things Must Pass" and "Concert For Bangladesh".

3. John Lennon released four solo albums before the official breakup of the Beatles. Which is NOT the title of one of them?

Answer: Plastic Ono Band

After John met Yoko he began to expand on his avant-garde music. Other than "Live Peace In Toronto" the rest of the albums consisted of mostly talking and noises. None did well on the charts but make great collectibles.

4. How about double albums - how many were released by Apple? Remember only Beatles and solo. Triple LPs not included.

Answer: 4

Double LPS included "1962-1966" and "1967-1970" - though Beatle greatest hits packages, they were officially released on the Apple label in 1975. The other two were "The Beatles" (White Album), and "Sometime In New York City" by John & Yoko.

5. Which album after the breakup of the Beatles was heralded as a reunion of the Beatles because all four members played on it?

Answer: Ringo

All four members composed and played on Ringo's 1973 release, though not together. That was the closest they would ever come to the Beatles reuniting musically on an album till the "Anthology" remixes.

6. "Zoo Gang" is the b-side to what Paul single released in the UK?

Answer: Band On The Run

This instrumental did not become available in the USA until McCartney's catalog was released on CD with bonus tracks.

7. John wrote, and sings the lead, on the b-side of an Apple artist. What is the name of that song?

Answer: Do The Oz

With the A side, "God Save Us" Bill Eliot and the Elastic Oz Band's "Do The Oz" was written to raise money for "Oz" magazine to fight obscenity charges in the UK. John wrote and produced both sides but sang lead on the B side.

8. What feature on George Harrison's "Extra Texture" album label reflects the soon to be demise of Apple Records?

Answer: The Apple on the label is eaten

Realizing that in 1975 Apple was about to go under, George, as a parody of the financial situation, used the apple core on the label to show that all the money in Apple had been "eaten" and there was nothing left.

Answer: Venus And Mars

Paul was set to release "Venus And Mars" as his last Apple album but signed a very lucrative deal with Capitol as Apple closed its doors. It was released around the world on Capitol Records. But in Portugal and Spain the singles from the album were already on the market as Apple records. These singles preceded Paul's deal with Capitol.

10. Here's a Beatle question: Besides the Red and Blue greatest hits packages, there was one other greatest hits album released on Apple. What is it?

Answer: The Beatles Again

This was a bit of a trick question. The "Hey Jude" album as it is known now was originally pressed as "The Beatles Again". It exists in both forms. Later to be changed to "Hey Jude" because they felt the title was misleading and people would think it was new material.
