I had ro wait in the queue at my library for an eternity on this damned

post-Beatles stuff) read.  I've read Mal Evans's obituaries before.
 One thing that surprised me, again disappointingly, is that Evans gave
McCartney extensive help on some of the Sgt. Peppers songs.  I've heard
this before and wasn't sure whether to believe it.  Womack's book is
persuasive on this point.

According to whom I wonder ....

 McCartney promised Evans co-writing credit and also "royalties and all
that."  He ended up providing Evans with none of the above.

This was actually the most disappointing thing I ever learned about
McCartney.

Would be, if ever actually verifiable.

So, everyone, join in!  What disappointed you about the various Beatles?

John's antagonistic behaviour throughout, and propensity towards addiction(s) - chemical, behavioural, and emotional.
George's sultriness and insecurity. Until around the end of The Beatles really.
Ringo - well nothing really.
Paul - his overbearing bossiness. But *without* that we would not have had the last 3 years of The Beatles at all I suspect.
