I saw a thread for this on the Live at the BBC, so I thought it'd be appropriate for the Anthologys.
I think Come and Get it and All Things Must Pass would be great on the Abbey Road.
And Hello Little Girl would've been good on Please Please Me.
The Incedibly True Story THat Never Ends. By Sam.

Two hugely obvious ones would be Not Guilty (White Album) and Leave My Kitten Alone (Beatles For Sale)

I see a lot of people say they prefer the Anthology version over the one on George's George Harrison album. While I like both equally, I also realize that the Beatles version is a very early take and most certainly would have sounded much different had it landed on the White Album. Too bad we never got to hear it.

I don't think it's such an early take…they spent a LOT of time working on it and refining it before they left it off of the album, IIRC…

You could be right – I will have to check the notes again that came with the CD's.
If that is the best they could have done with it, I'd be very surprised. I do like that version, as I stated earlier. But to me, it just doesn't sound 'finished' (polished?).

The released Not Guilty take is 102 and i dont believe it was in the running for inclusion when sequencing the album. The anthology version was edited in the '80's for Sessions and i hope it would have been unlikely to have been considered for release in that variation back in 1968 as it sucks.
The only one i would take is Leave My Kitten Alone over Mister Moonlight. I would be happy to leave Not Guilty in the vaults but its closely run with Savoy Truffle. A Get Back Oldies collection wouldnt have been bad but the tracks would have to be unedited and as a bonus disc to Let It Be Naked instead of the utterly pointless 20-odd minute 'Fly On The Wall' cd.

Thanks, mmm. One of the great things about this site – someone usually has the definitive answer…except for one topic.

It was labeled 102 but it certainly wasn't the 102nd take…if you read Lewisohn's book, they skipped LOTS of take numbers on that song. Still, he has them down as having spent an awful lot of time on it for a song that ended up being surplus. At least to my ears, it doesn't sound unfinished.

Curioser and curiouser…
No matter what the take number or whether or not it sounds finished, we do agree it's a cool song.
I still can't help wondering what the final version would have sounded like on TWA.

I've always thought that George's "You know what to do" would have fit on the albums of its time period. Not that it's a particularly amazing song but I don't think it's worse than a lot of songs in the early part of the Beatles career and I happen to enjoy listening to it.

One After 909 would be a great single in 1963, possibly an EP with some covers, or own compositions like Long Tall Sally could've been issued in mid 1963? could've happened. Besame Mucho, and How Do You Do It? may've been released as a single, or in the EP with One After 909.
I'm sure I say what most of us would've done is to take out a song from Beatles For Sale, and include Leave My Kitten Alone. Though most say Mr. Moonlight, I would've left out Kansas City/ Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! (Never a big fan of that song) with mr. Moonlight a tight second for non-inclusion. Maybe a work of George's You Know What To Do as a single with an outtake from The Beatles For Sale Sessions. We can't forget What You're Doing Take 11 (Even though it wasn't included in the album) I like both versions though.
If You Got Trouble sounded like a great song for Help! At least give Ringo a lead in a movie. Poor Ringo didn't have a song to sing in any movie the group acted in. That Means Alot would've been a good song to have played in the stonehedge scene. The two outtakes along with Bad Boy, and another song, probably a cover, Wait, or a a quickly penned Harrison or Lennon/McCartney composition should've been released as a EP.
Not Guilty I would include on the album, and What's The New Mary Jane in place of Revolution 9 leading into Good Night. All Things Must Pass would look good on Let It Be along with Don't Let Me Down.
