White Room Quiz - more odd questions - Advanced Notice

Mi-Amigo — Mon, 18 May 2020 07:17:24 GMT

Advanced Notice of this week`s

The WHITE ROOM QUIZ is open to all members of the Community

As last week`s White Room Quiz, with "oddest questions", saw 12 taking part and, from the comments, was enjoyed by everyone, I thought it might help lighten the mood and be fun to have another "oddest questions" quiz again this week.

Over the weekend, I have searched and put together eight questions which don`t fit into the normal categories from which the questions are usually selected, with not only some "odd categories" but also some rather "odd questions".

One question has been selected from each of these eight "odd" categories

Money; Badges; Code; Letters; Cartoon; The Sky; Sayings; Time

These are rather different categories this time and I hope everyone will find the quiz is fun when the actual questions are posted.

The questions will be posted on Wednesday morning 20 May 2020.

I hope our regular quizzers

between Wed 20 May 2020 at 12 NOON and Thurs 21 May 2020 at 23.59 [11.59pm] -

Thanks @Cleoriff

If you think the categories are "extremely odd", wait `till you see the questions

I hope, as you said, it will be a "welcome break" as my wish is for it to be fun.

btw folks, there is no QI-style question [where the answer is not what everyone thinks] but there is one which might be a bit of a "head-scratcher" but I`m not saying in which category...

@Mi-Amigo cannot wait to embarass myself again

@LukasB

I might regret this.

I'll need to absorb some random information related to those categories @Mi-Amigo in case I manage to learn something relevant before the quiz!

Trivia - Love Me Do was the Beatles debut song, but it was recorded twice in 62. Once with Pete Best & then with Ringo..

Which version do you remember?

Great question @Anonymous

Pete Best did drum on Love Me Do - recorded at Abbey Road on 6 June 1962 but that version was never commercially released. Pete Best was replaced by Ringo

Ringo drummed on Love Me Do - recorded at Abbey Road on 4 Sept 1962 with 15 takes of song

but on 11 Sep 1962 The Beatles were requested to go back to Abbey Road and recorded LoveMe Do with Andy White, session drummer, and Ringo relegated to tambourine! - with 18 takes of this version

Love Me Do was released on 5 October 1962

the initial pressing - with a red Parlophone label - featured Ringo`s drumming from 4 Sept

all other pressings, inc version on EPs and Please Please Me feature Andy White`s drumming of 11 Sept.

I have all versions. I much prefer the Ringo version - with his different style of drumming.
