The Beatles Bible - Topic: Anthology songs that should have been on original albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 BBCSessions1963 on Anthology songs that should have been on original albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65567 Anthology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65567 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 ...]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:26:31 +0000 diesmitty on Anthology songs that should have been on original albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65508 Anthology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65508 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. 

 

 

I also love the anthology version of "while my guitar gently weeps" and think that if Revolution could have 2 versions (not counting 9) WMGGW could have had 2 versions. 
 
And while I'm on George, I enjoy the anthology version of "All things must pass" and definitely think ...]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:43:09 +0000 Zig on Anthology songs that should have been on original albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65476 Anthology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65476 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.ahdn_george_01

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.

The released Not Guilty take is 102

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 ...]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:41:46 +0000 Zig on Anthology songs that should have been on original albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65462 Anthology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/anthology/anthology-songs-that-should-have-been-on-original-albums/#p65462 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?).

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 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.
