There is absolutely no evidence for this, yet these legends take on lives of their own. The same happened with the Beano recording dates. Back in the 1960s, it was always known that the album was recorded in March 1966. Over the decades -- and especially since the advent of the Internet -- the urban legends seem to take over and a sort of mob rule prevails.

Ha, it's good to take a look into an email account which I haven't used in years, and see that the usual suspects are still on this list :-)
Reading this, I just wonder if there was a particular reason why people "want" to think that Beano was recorded later than it actually was. Was there?
