This is the second in a small series of puzzle caches based around what I feel was the greatest sixties pop group of all time.   Of course this is only my opinion and is not shared by everybody. I have called the caches the fab 5 but The group were more commonly known as the fab 4, but they could have easily became 5 if it was not for the tragic death of Stuart Suttcliff who passed away April 1962 aged just 21 from a brain  haemorrhage . Whether  you  like or loath the Beatles they had a great  influence on today’s rock and popular  music. . In 1960 the group became The Beatles, although it was a while longer before the name became permanent. It was Lennon and Sutcliffe’s suggestion to change it, and the new name inspired a number of variations: the Silver Beatles, Silver Beats, Silver Beetles, Silver Beatles once more, before settling in August 1960 on The Beatles.  The Beatles released 22 singles, 13 EP's and 12 LP's in the UK, Out of the releases they had 17 number one hits spending a total of  69 weeks at number one on the singles charts. Also out of the album releases they had from 1963 to 1970 all made the number one slot. With four others in later years. Making it a total of 175 weeks at number one. An Impressive record When you think of all the pop groups around at the time. They hold many a record In the pop world and the question is will some of them ever be broken. These facts are just for the uk alone if you join the us and around the world they really did have a huge influence on the music of the time.
