As I was editing my list, I was reading the Wiki article on the article:

The Beatles was the first Beatles album released by Apple Records, as well as their only original double album. Producer George Martin has said that he was against the idea of a double album at the time and suggested to the group that they reduce the number of songs in order to form a single album featuring their stronger work, but that the band decided against this.[26] Interviewed for the Beatles Anthology, Starr said that he now felt that it should have been released as two separate albums (that he appropriately named The White Album and The Whiter Album). Harrison felt on reflection that some of the tracks could have been released as B-sides, but "there was a lot of ego in that band." He also supported the idea of the double album, to clear out the backlog of songs that the group had at the time. McCartney, by contrast, said that it was fine as it was ("It's great. It sold. It's the bloody Beatles White Album. Shut up."), and that its wide variety of songs was a major part of the album's appeal.[27]

That quote from Paul reminds me of his retort to his grandkids about getting beaten at Beatles Rock Band. "I'm a legend, shut up." LOL.

parlance

 

As I think more of what you just put down parlance, is that 14 tracks could've been put on one album released in time for holiday 1968, out of the remaining 16 tracks, 6 can be put into Yellow Submarine's B-side leaving 10 songs for a new LP. However Not Guilty and What's The New mary Jane can be added, and if The Beatles have decided upon this desicion more time coud've been added to he sessions and record some new material the boys have written, and/or record sogs that were never recorded for the album like Child of Nature, Circles, Junk, and The Happy Rishikesh Song

Ah but LongHairedLady, now comes the hard part: you have to whittle it down to 14 songs.

 

Oh shite, I didn't even realize that!  I guess that means that I can't do it then, because I wouldn't be able to take anything else off of that list.  I would probably add "Don't Pass Me By" as well.  So, double it is!  a-hard-days-night-john-1
