I`m an italian Beatle fan who`s been studying, playing, reading The Beatles for more than twentyfive years. I can answer about recording sessions, lyrics, biography, instruments and more. I`ve been playng bass guitar and their music for years and know pretty much about their music and composition. I own a double complete discography (on vinil and on cd) and lots of books about them. I regret not to be so expert about their films and personal careers, but I think I can answer nearly any question about their life and music in the period 1940 - 1970.
Usually, no Trivia on The Beatles leaves me without words. Moreover I've been playing bass guitar and their music for nearly twenty years and I can discuss on this matter quite deeply. Please no questions about vintage Lps', collectors items' or memorabilia value.
The Beatles changed the course of music and, I know it for sure, the course of millions of lives (included mine)
The topic "Beatles" is so wide that one can never say to know everything about it. Still now every new listening to their songs makes you discover new incredible things.
I'm doing a research on their instruments (specially guitars and basses) and beginning to write something on Paul's evolution as a "bassman"
Which guitars did The Beatles use in their recordings and live tours? Which effects on their records? Which "secret" sound and difference between recordings and version of each song?

Your English is perfect but.. è meglio se ti scrivo in italiano, visto che lo sono pure io! La domanda necessiterebbe un libro per risponderti, anche perchè ogni singola canzone ha una storia a sè. Quindi
Hi there Daniel. I'd say that the best source of answers on the topic is the following book: Ian McDonald - Revolution in the head - The Beatles' records and the Sixties. I have an old (mid 90s)
The van is supposed to be a police one I've had a glance at http://www.policecaruk.com/ where there's a section for classic fleet, but I couldn't find a model looking like Abbey road's cover one.
Hi Andrew, I had no idea about it. I've always thought it expressed some kind of disease Harrison was feeling at the time. Anyway I found that according to A Hard Day's Write by Steve Turner, Harrison
