Steve Charak's Beatles Lists



My friend Steve Charak and I shared an enjoyment of compiling useless information. We also liked the Beatles and seeing if we could stump each other with questions of trivia.

Here are some lists Steve compiled, I'm betting they are from the early 1990s. In the last list, Steve knew I acquired cover versions of the Fab Four and was wondering if I would ever find cover versions of this particular set. I did. Here they are:
