Paul: Reggie Dunbar is the pseudonym that Murray Wilson, Brian's father, used.

Peter, according to 'The Rolling Stones Complete Recording Sessions'(1990), here are the origins of the songwriting team credit "Nanker, Phelge" -

"This pseudonym originates from publicity shots where they put their fingers up their noses and pulled their eyelids down (a nanker) and Phelge, a friend, who had the dubious habit of wearing his stained underpants on his head."

It basically means it was a Rolling Stones group-written song.

For the real trivia hounds, Keith Richards' song writing credits were under the name 'Richard' prior to his Canadian drug trial in 1977, when he reverted to his original legal name 'Richards'.

You got it, Peter. Your prize is a McCartney compilation CD, which ironically will not play on any of my players!

What was the only released song on which he was credited as such?

"Break Away" (1969) Paul. How about a Beach Boys compilation that won't play on any of my players?

Peter, you're taking too long on these...Are you Googling the answers? The compilation is on its virtual way...

Paul: Yes sorry I had to leave my post momentarily to make contact with my family. What was I thinking?

You mean you had to Breakaway, Peter? Shame on you.

Seriously, you are the only person I know who knows the answer to that one, anthough I'm sure there are at least a dozen others outside the Wilson family...

What was the "B" side of"Breakaway"?

Paul: When I find out I will celebrate the news.

Wasn't Reggie Dunbar a hitter for the New York Yankees? Or was it Michael Jackson?

It was Michael Dunbar.

Peter, over to you!
