10 looks like the bastard son of Brian Epstein and Andre Previn and it's bugging me because I know the face.

Is 7 Magic Alex?

Not Magic Alex, no. That probably is the most difficult one.

10 isn't as important to Beatle/solo history as the others, but I don't think he looks much different to how he did when he was most relevant to it.

2 and 5 would be known to pretty much anybody who's read a single book on The Beatles (on either side of the Atlantic). They are definitely not obscure.

Not Peter - Peter looks like Mike Batt's twin brother.

Number 10 has been seen mostly since the mid-1980s in numerous documentaries.

Number 7 is obscure but was as close to the band as you can possibly get for a period.

2 and 5, come on. No clues needed. They are big names in the Beatles story (Beatles not solo).

Howj Begg

2 - Jackie Lomax? Or possibly a Liverpudlian merseybeater?
5 - Dick James?
7 - Tarkovksy? No how about Derek Taylor?

Good guesses, I could foresee those names coming up, but all wrong.


Howj Begg

Darn.

I don't know who no 10 is, but my guess is he was with the Fabs in India...

number 10 (as with 1 and 6) is a solo association.

10- Fred Seaman? or Elliot Mintz?

It's Eliiot Mintz. Probably the closest friend John had after moving to the US, still very close to Yoko.

SteveDave

Now a truly orange man.

7- Tommy Moore...only because of the drumsticks.

Very good, yes it's Tommy Moore.
A fully fledged member of The Beatles (not The Quarrymen but THE BEATLES), played professional engagements with them in Scotland and Liverpool before his wife put an end to it. I think the picture was taken in 1971 when he did his one and only ever interview about his time in the band.

Boy, you weren't wrong were you? Like a Star Trek alien.




Glad to say I wouldn't have got either of those.

Still to identify 2 and 5, surprisingly.

Of all the other people on that collection of images, only Pete Best and possibly Ed Sullivan would be better known to your average fan than those two.

LORD BAD VIBE

I reckon number 2 is Tony Sheridan.

Can't believe 2 isn't Joe Cocker - Noddy then?

Ah, 5 must be Linda McCartney

It is indeed Tony Sheridan, without whom no record to get Epstein interested and the first man ever to appear on British television playing an electric guitar whilst singing at the same time.

SteveDave

I've discovered who 5 is but believe it to be a prank.

The nose looks the same but yes, checking it out it's not actually Allen Klein.

It's Rupert Loewenstein the Rolling Stones manager/accountant.

SteveDave



That's Allen Klein as an older man apparently.

Ahh. I reverse imaged searched it and it came up as Rupert.

I enjoyed this game though. Reading all those books hasn't been for nothing.

I wonder if all 4 were still alive but never reformed, and decided in 2019 to do a one off concert, because hell they'll all be dead soon so why not? Would that be the biggest musical event of all time, or some sort of sad whimper of old farts? Hard to say what would have happened if Lennon had not died, but I could envisage him and McCartney ruining the prospect somewhat with some fairly mediocre joint ventures in the 80s (which was absolutely on the cards btw). I suppose it would have happened earlier if he was still alive though, Live Aid maybe? The blocker would have been George rather than Lennon probably.


The whole thing about them never reforming is though, ultimate the most bulletproof thing about the Beatles, so few of the great acts never at least slightly sullied their reputations with ill advised latter day reformations, the Beatles avoided that, if mostly by accident.
