here before the "wAaAaAh FuWw ViDeOs WhEwE" kids
I was thinking along the lines of the Soviet era bootlegs and maybe you could tell it was his because it was recorded onto an x-ray of his arm or something.
I was trying to think of my vinyl knowledge and then only things I could think of is that people made copies on old x-ray prints and that people melted them down and made ashtrays out of them.
How can you know so little about The Beetles? The Bad Four, as they were known, are Manchester’s greatest export!

Did Pete Best get #5?
My dad is a pretty into the beatles and didn't know this
This reminds of a phrase I was thinking of earlier today "ignorant is not the same as stupid".
Just to point out there were originally 5 Beatles
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best (drums) & Stuart Sutcliffe (bass)
Didn't know the Beatles' names. Didn't know dates for WW1. Bit of a low point in terms of guests this week. 🙂
My level of excitement kept going up with each new person showing up in the video. From "oh nice, it's Taha" to "wait, is this going to be all of AIP" to a happy yes. Been a while since the last AIP video so it was extra nice seeing them
I thought maybe his kiddos had cut their first teeth on the cover or something, so it could be proven with historical dental records… 😂
I thought it might be like on some vinyl there were little scratched messages between the run-out groove and the label and his said something in particular. Had no idea they were simply numbered and that every single one was therefore unique.
6:42. "There are only 4 Beatles." Revising history much? There were 11 people who were part of the band at one point or another, with Stuart Sutcliffe, Pete Best and Billy Preston being the most famous and longest lasting.
6:42 “there were only 4 Beatles”

It kind of breaks my heart to hear someone say they know nothing about the beatles.
Not knowing much about the Beatles, numbering was one of my first thoughts, but I figured that would be too obvious.
In fairness to Taha, if he considers Ringo "fifth", it could be because he's heard of Pete Best.
ITS TAHA AND MELISSA FROM ANSWER IN PROGRESS
I HAVENT LISTENED TO THE PODCAST YET BUT IM SURE SABRINA IS GONNA BE THERE
HYPEHYPEHYPEHYPE
I watched copy 3900 of this video
So – am i the only one wondering what James Strieb is doing on the thumbnail?
I was rather disappointed that the highlight from this episode doesn't feature Sabrina's hangry cat…
Oh, and to all you Beatles membership pedants in the comments, there are currently NO Beatles, and only TWO former Beatles. How's that for pedantry?
Tom Scott interacting with young internet people is such a gift to the world.
I'm 53, and I don't like the Beatles. I know they did some groundbreaking things, but frankly, I think they are the single-most overrated band in history. Seriously, if you look at all the hype that has been built up around them, no band could live up to it, not even the Beatles!
My guess: it was labeled in the recognizable handwriting of someone who disassociated from the Beatles soon after the album was made, like John Lennon.
I was so happy when I heard answer in progress on the podcast. I was hoping for this collab!
I knew that Ringo narrated Thomas the Tank Engine because Tim Minchin references it in his song "Lullaby". I also knew that there were four members of the Fab Four, but that counts as General Knowledge, Taha!
I don't know why, but my first thought was that the proof was that it had his teeth marks on it.
Technically Ringo was the fifth beatles
I Knee it was going to be aboht the serial numbers but I wasn't sure if it would be 00004 or it would be that the original didn't have the serial numbers fir what ever reason
i love how Tom pulled the rip-cord the second he attempted the Ringo impression.
Some thoughts popped in my head that I thought maybe it's an additional song in only one.
when you mentioned that he was the narrator of Thomas, i was so excited for someone to say that outside the thomas fandom, and i don’t know why 😂
Is Paul still alive? Lol
Glad to see another person who doesn't give a rats tail about the Beatles
Does Melissa actually own any clothes with sleeves? How does she survive in Canada?
There are many people that say they are the 5th Beatles. The Wikipedia article on "fifth Beatle" will give you a starting point on information to look into about the many people with various levels of claims to be the fifth Beatle.
That album just has a serial number? Don't know that's too interesting. 😅
I also don't know the Beatles, but to be fair, I don't pay attention to modern-day artists either. 😛
I feel like I've seen so many Beatles references in Tom Scott's productions, if he is a massive Beatles fan I'd love to just hear him talk about it forever.
