Question
Could you run down the list of ladies in Mccartney's beatle/pre-beatle life, their names and some info about them and why they broke up?

Second question: I've heard john had a crush on pattie boyd-harrison... is there any records of things he said about her or their interactions?

Last: Did George really have an affair with Ringo's Maureen? Are there any books, gossip, etc that document anything that happened regarding the affair or Ringo and George's relationship after the fact?

Answer
Hi Jillian,

1. You can find all the info you need on the Ladies of Macca, before he got married, following this link: http://sentstarr.tripod.com/beatgirls/girl.html
2. John Lennon and Mick Jagger were known to have had crushes on Pattie, with the latter admitting in the 1980s that he'd tried (but failed) to seduce her for years. But no interactions it is known between Jonh and Patty who seems not to have any interest in him.
3. And Yes, George really had an affair with Maureen, and it is officially proved. From Wikipedia: "Pattie Harrison found out about George and Maureen's ongoing affair and proceeded to tell Ringo, which made him furious. One night when the Starkeys were visiting George and Pattie, George told Ringo how much he loved Maureen. Rumors have persisted that this fateful evening led to the breakup of both the Harrisons' and Starrs' marriages." The relashionship between the two cracked during the years.

Hope this helps,
Sara
