As a Beatles devotee and self-proclaimed trivia expert (at least in my house) on Beatles recordings, here is the entire listing of The Beatles' use of clarinets from their catalog of recordings. A few interesting and surprising facts:
The Beatles used clarinets on 6 different recordings:
1. When I'm Sixty Four - 3 clarinetists: Robert Burns, Harry MacKenzie and Frank Reidy
2. Honey Pie - 2 clarinetists: Raymond Newman and David Smith
3. I Am The Walrus - 1 clarinetist: Gordon Lewin
4. Good Night - 1 clarinetist: name not archived
5. Here Comes The Sun - 1 clarinetist: name not archived
6. A Day In The Life - 2 clarinetists: Basil Tschaikov and Jack Brymer
So the next time you are on a quiz show and the category is "Beatles' Use of Clarinets", or you are at a party and want to impress your friends, you now have everything you need to know ...GBK
