Your chance to get questions answered

            Q
            At the end of my Sgt Pepper CD there is a short message of some sort which is not exactly understandable. Could you please explain what it says and why it's there?
            Jennifer Repetowski, Buffalo, New York, USA

            It's there because the Beatles decided to end the album with some unusual sounds: a 15 kilohertz tone that would bewilder dogs and some extraneous verbalising which would perplex humans - especially, because it was cut into the concentric run-out groove of the original vinyl pressing, the sound went on for ever ... or at least until the stylus arm was manually lifted from the disc. The reason that one can't make head nor tail of what's being said is because the original tape was cut into pieces and reassembled all ways up in order to create the gibberish effect.

            Q
            I am writing in the hope of learning where the Beatles' uniforms were made for the Sgt Pepper sleeve, and who made them. And who makes his clothing today for Paul when he
tours?
            David E Dow, Santee, California,
            USA

            The Sgt Pepper costumes were made especially for the Beatles by Berman's and Nathan's, one of the leading theatrical costumiers in London - and certainly well-established: Berman's opened for business in 1884, Nathan's, would you believe, in 1792. Four years before Pepper, Victorian bathing suits worn by the Beatles for a famous beach photo session came from the same suppliers. Latterly, Paul's tour outfits have been made by a variety of companies, the ideas being co-ordinated for Paul by Lindy Ross.

            Q
            The two best concerts I've seen were Liverpool and Knebworth in 1990. Both were fully filmed and are sitting somewhere on a shelf. Couldn't they be made available, otherwise the cameramen wasted their time? Brian Mars, Harlow, Essex, England

            Q
            During 1993 we followed the New World Tour through some cities of Europe and also here in Argentina, during which we saw much filming of Paul and us fans, and were told that the film would be included in a movie. The video Paul Is Live was great but none of this film was included - can you say what happened to it?
            Silvia & Javier Estrach, Cap Fed, Argentina

            It's a natural consequence of film-making that considerably more material is shot than is used in the finished article, so yes, there is plenty of unused footage sitting in tins in the archive. In the specific cases of Liverpool and Knebworth, film from both these shows was included in television programmes, screened in a good many territories, so one can safely rule out any notion that the cameramen "wasted their time". And, of course, these programmes may be issued on video one day.
