I don't really expect for anyone to know the answer to this, but you never know. I recently won the Omega auctions for a large lot of Beatles scrapbooks and clippings. Well most of the clippings and scrapbooks are of these "Beatle Box" part of Valentine magazine. I have these from 1965-1967. Let me tell you, they are really interesting. Some of the photos are new to me and the questions and answers are really insightful at times.
What I am wondering is who answered these questions? I usually assume that editors of the teen magazines answer the questions the fans send in and pretend to be the Beatles. However, the answers to these questions are too good and too detailed to just be magazine editors. For example, one of them I was reading was asking Paul if he had any pets. He said, "I just got a new sheepdog puppy that is named Martha." Now that isn't something that I think just anyone would know. So either the actual Beatles answered these letters or Mal or Neil or some insiders answered them. If it wasn't the guys themselves, then I think it was Mal, because the answers about Paul's trip to Kenya was just too detailed for anyone else to know.
Who do you think answered this column?
