9.  NEMS: the North End road Music Stores.
End Quote

This is interesting Gambo

NEMS is spot on but only three of the four bits of the letters are correct :

N,M & S - The 'E' does not stand for 'End' or End Road'

So that means you got 7/8's correct...... ::)

Does anyone know it ?

North E*** Music Stores

13.  Which Beatles song title effectively refers three times to the singer ?

That would be "I me mine", presumably - the Joan Armatrading reference is bugging me, because I remember the song but can't think of the titleEnd Quote

Correct Phil !  And the Armatrading song is "Me Myself I"

Quoting:15.  In which Beatles song (according to Paul McCartney's biography) did the last verse actually refer to a house being deliberately burnt down ?

Norwegian Wood?  "So I lit a fire, isn't it good etc." - I never thought of that as being the house burning down, more a fire in the grate...End Quote

Correct again !

In McCartney's book 'Many Years From Now' he says (in part) :

"...Peter Asher had his place done out in wood...Norwegian Wood.  It was a pine really, cheap pine.  But it's not as good a title, 'Cheap Pine', baby.

In John's head it was based on an affair he had.  She led him on then said 'You'd better sleep in the bath'.  In our world the guy had to have some sort of revenge.  It could have meant I lit a fire to keep myself warm, and wasn't the decor of her house wonderful ?

But It didn't, it meant I burned the f***ing place down as an act of revenge, and we eft it there and went into the instrumental..."

Quoting:PS Stu Sutcliffe was referred to as "The fifth Beatle"End Quote

Yes yes !  Another one !  3 to go though....

Quoting:PPS I thought NEMS was "North End Music Store" - couldn't have been "North East", as it's in the North West  ???
End Quote

Ah now this is just embarrassing, as I amd wrong and you are right....It is indeed North End Music Stores, all this time I had deluded myself into believeing the E was for East.... :-[

Thanks Philbo !

23/  How did I miss this question. Paul McCartney is the "undertaker" and I seem to recall it was about the time where he was supposed to have been killed or something like that.
End Quote

Noo RR, I don't believe that to be the story - in fact, I believe it was Paul who was being 'undertaken' - if that's what happens....supposedly symbolised by his bare feet....

I think my question should more properly have read "Who is the gravedigger" - he is wearing the sort of clothes one might wear as a gravedigger....

FB  ??? :)

5/ I remember Phil Spectres name being tossed around a few times. Was he a rich American DJ (he says clutching at straws)
End Quote

I think Phil Spector was more of a producer rather than DJ ?  Although he may done that as well ?

In any case - not who I'm thinking of, althought he did horrify Paul McCartney by dubbing female voices onto The Long And Winding Road, so there was a Beatles connection, in fact he took over and finished production of Let It Be as a whole...

The DJ I'm thinking of had a name in the same style as

"Richie the C"

My error. I meant to put Paul was the one in bare feet and I think it was the time the rumours about him being dead were rife.
