George Harrison's soundtrack to the film Wonderwall was the first official solo album by one of the Beatles. I think it was late 1968. 

 As to who is actually credited with breaking the group up...I'd have to say it probably started with George, who was starting to become a good songwriter, but John and Paul would only toss him crumbs, a song per album.   I think George was the first Beatle to actually take a break from the group for a while, (Ringo, too).  But John was the first to officially announce he was leaving the group, around Sept. 69.

The Chuck Berry song was "You Can't Catch Me",  and the first line in "Come Together" is almost identical to Berry's.  Obviously, John was paying tribute to Berry.  But I think it was Berry's music publisher, who owned the rights to Chuck Berry's songs, that brought the lawsuit. Ka-ching!

paul was the first one to take legal action to dissolve the group, credit goes to him.

John and Yoko formed the Plastic Ono Band in 1969, and after a successful gig John officially left The Beatles in Sept. 69.  McCartney, who tried to keep the band together, admitted they were disbanded in Nov. 69.  It wasn't until 1971 that he sued for dissolution of the band's contractual relationship.

i guess this depends on what is meant  by "credited with actually breaking..."
some would say its a legal manner legally based on a business partnership. even in that case "give peace a chance" was credited to lennon\mccartney tho is was all lennon and his impromptu hotel singalong and after the beatles were done.
i can see how lennon just saying theyre over could be vaild, but both harrison and starr did that numerous times. just because he was one of the two leaders of the band, i dont think that gives anymore credence to a remark or declaration of actuality. i still stand by the legalese that paul dissolved the band legally, and therefore actually.

not to get all semantic up in here. apologies for that.

ok! in the face of overwhelming evidence from people who's opinions i respect, i admit my defeat.
i guess paul's actions could be interpeted as saving face, doing it legally before everyone else, even tho the other three were already out. I STAND CORRECTED!

1) I think photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who was the girlfriend of Stu Sutcliffe (The Beatles first bass player) cut his hair in the mop-top during their Hamburg days. So the clothes were probably her sense of style as well.

2) Oh, I'd forgotten about that cover..Yesterday and Today... the butchered dead babies..the boys are wearing white butcher jackets, and are holding decapitated dolls, and there's meat pieces here and there.  What were they thinking?

3) I thought Buddy Holly and the Crickets were the inspiration for the name, but as Beetles, which was changed to the cooler Beatles.  But I don't know about a longer version.

whoops, thanks for catching my typo onesuavefolk, i meant songs. most people know the "you know my name" since the anthologies, but "baby youre a rich man" is more obscure.
alright, this may be an easy one:

what peaker has played Astrid Kirchherr?
