I saw a post recently where somebody talked about how they would perfect With The Beatles (adding in I Want To, She Loves You etc) and it got me thinking how I would perfect all of their albums, if I had been Sir George Martin back in the day. I’m only going to Rubber Soul onward for now.
Get rid of What Goes On , Run For Your Life and Drive My Car . Use Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out to open each side and close the album with In My Life .
Revolver :
Pretty much perfect, though I would swap Doctor Robert for Rain maybe.
Get rid of Lovely Rita , and include All You Need Is Love (Yes I know it was written/released after) at the start of side 2. And have some more reminders what the album is about, maybe just sounds of instruments tuning up between songs or something.
The White Album :
I would include Lady Madonna , The Inner Light and the acoustic version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps , possibly swapping out for Bungalow Bill, Rocky Raccoon and Piggies . Though I would find some other spot for BB’s Spanish guitar and Piggies ‘ harpsichord.
I would get rid of Maxwell and Octopus, then shunt Here Comes The Sun and Because onto side 1, leaving side 2 for the medley alone.
Keep The Long And Winding Road as a single, or perhaps as the closing track. Present the album as more of a live album. Cut out Maggie Mae , Dig It and For You Blue and include the rooftop version of Don’t Let Me Down . Have the album version of Let It Be as the opening track rather than Two Of Us . As with Sgt Pepper I would include reminders of what the album is about, i.e snippets of conversation between songs to give a sense of cohesion.
And there we are. What would your perfect versions be?
“While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I’m a naysayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I’ll gladly take another - because I choose to live my life in the company of Ghandi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.”

Offline I think you do a pretty good job there – very thorough! Until the Get Back /Abbey Road era. No I Want You on Abbey Road ? I would make a few minor improvements to both Abbey Road and Let It Be but I do think you go too far. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and I Want You are far too produced and precise to fit in there.
“While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I’m a naysayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I’ll gladly take another - because I choose to live my life in the company of Ghandi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.”

Offline There’s a reason why I put those there. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer was in the Let It Be film, so I think that it should be on it’s respective album. As for I Want You (She’s So Heavy), they played a brief piece of it during the rooftop concert, so I thought it should be on the album as well, although I can understand you here. Also, since I’m adding an element of fantasy with this, in my version of the rooftop concert, they play the full song.
The main change I would make though is replacing Revolution 9 and Good Night with Hey Jude , I sure wish The Beatles didn’t have that stupid rule about not putting singles on albums and releasing album tracks as singles.
Tell you what, I’ll make 2 perfect discographies, 1 that has some fantasy involved and 1 that’s realistic:

Offline I actually just got around to compiling The Beatles discography for use with an mp3 player. I did 2 versions, UK and US.
For the UK, i used mono for everything except Abbey Road and The Ballad Of John And Yoko single and did minimal changes. The only pre-Pepper change i did was use Matchbox as the 14th track on A Hard Day’s Night , since the album needs a 14th track and a Ringo song and this one fits the bill perfectly.
For Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine , i made an 11 track album, with Side A being the UK MMT EP and Side B being the 5 tracks from Yellow Submarine that have yet to make a UK album appearance.
Instead of having Let It Be being the closer, i used Glynn John’s original tracklisting of Get Back (minus the songs not featured in the film) but using the mixes featured on Let It Be (or in the case of Let It Be , Get Back , and Don’t Let Me Down , Past Masters ) followed by Abbey Road .
Since it’s safe to assume that had it been released on time there would’ve been a mono version (or at the very least a fold down), i folded down most of the tracks to mono with 3 exceptions. For Get Back and Don’t Let Me Down (as well as Get Back (Reprise) which is just the finale from the single version of Get Back ) i used the original mono mixes and for The Long And Winding Road , i isolated the center channel so Phil’s orchestra can’t be heard.
For Abbey Road , i left it in stereo since this was recorded with stereo in mind and the stereo is great. I also placed Her Majesty in it’s original position and removed the silence after The End , so now The End is The End .
As for the US versions, i went nuts:
For starters, i used stereo unless otherwise noted since stereo was more popular in America at the time. Also, all tracks are UK versions, that means no false start on I’m Looking Through You or surf intro on Help !. Finally, i decided to pretend that The Beatles didn’t forbid Capitol from screwing with their releases so i could make more fantasy albums.
Meet The Beatles is unaltered. I Want To Hold Your Hand and This Boy in mono.
Twist And Shout is Please Please Me but opens with From Me To You and removes Misery and There’s A Place . From Me To You , Love Me Do , and P.S. I Love You in mono.
Long Tall Sally is The Beatles Second Album but with Can’t Buy Me Love in You Can’t Do That ‘s original position and You Can’t Do That before She Loves You . Can’t Buy Me Love and She Loves You singles in mono.
A Hard Day’s Night but with Can’t Buy Me Love , You Can’t Do That , and I’ll Be Back replaced with Matchbox .
Beatles ’65 is unaltered. She’s A Woman and I Feel Fine in mono.
Beatles VI is unaltered. Yes It Is in mono.
Help ! is a 7 song EP that contains only the 7 movie songs. Ticket To Ride in mono.
Rubber Soul is unaltered from it’s US version.
Yesterday And Today but with the 3 Revolver tracks replaced with Rain , Paperback Writer , and I’m Down . I’m Down in mono.
Revolver is unaltered.
Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band is unaltered.
Magical Mystery Tour is unaltered. Tracks 9-11 in mono.
Yellow Submarine ‘s side A is unaltered (albeit using the Real Love version of Yellow Submarine ), side B consists of Across The Universe (charity version but at the correct speed and without the intro), Revolution 1 (which would’ve been titled Revolution ), Lady Madonna , The Inner Light , and You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) (complete version). Lady Madonna and The Inner Light in mono.
Beatles ’69 is the first 7 tracks of The Beatles for side A, and Blackbird , Revolution (which would’ve been titled Revolution 1 ), Hey Jude , Cry Baby Cry , and Good Night for side B.
A Doll’s House is Birthday and Yer Blues followed by tracks 12-15 of The Beatles for side A, side B is Monkey, Mother Nature’s Son , tracks 8-10, and Julia .
Abbey Road but the side openers are replaced with Sexy Sadie and Long, Long, Long and Oh! Darling and Because are also removed.
Come Together is Come Together , Don’t Let Me Down , Oh! Darling , Helter Skelter , Let It Be (single version), Here Comes The Sun , Because , Old Brown Shoe , Get Back (single version), and The Ballad Of John And Yoko .
Let It Be but no Across The Universe or Get Back . For You Blue and The Long And Winding Road switch places.

Offline I’ve made a couple of ‘new’ albums to listen to on the computer recently.
One would be a hybrid of ‘Please Please Me ‘ and ‘With The Beatles ‘ and the other would be a hybrid of ‘Beatles For Sale ‘ and ‘Help ‘. I wouldn’t have any cover versions at all on any of the albums, just let the best covers be on EPs or something? Although it was important in 1960s and early 1970s not to have singles on albums, to make the albums as good as possible, I would put the singles on the albums. To make the albums as good as possible I would only have 10 albums, all with self-penned songs. The early albums would follow the UK 14 song makeup with a song for Ringo if possible.
The first 5 albums!
Album 1 – Please Please Me / With the Beatles 1963
Album 2 – A Hard Day’s Night 1964 (no change)
Album 3 – Beatles For Sale / Help 1965
Side 1
1. I Feel Fine
2. I’m A Loser
4. I Need You
6. You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
7. No Reply
Side 2
1. Help !
5. I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party
7. Yesterday
Album 4: Rubber Soul 1965
Side 1
1. Drive My Car
4. Nowhere Man
6. The Word
7. Michelle
Side 2
2. Girl
4. In My Life
5. Wait
7. Day Tripper
Album 5: Revolver 1966
Part 2 and albums 6-10 to follow!

Interesting thread
I’ll see what I can do
Please Please Me & With the Beatles – I’d leave them as they are. Not that they are perfect but both names and covers are really memorable. And there is no track that it’s atrocious.
A Hard Day’s Night – Meh. I think I’d release two singles instead: And I Love Her /If I Fell – A Hard Day’s Night /I Should Have Known Better. The rest would be on a soundtrack album or something. Don’t really an album I adore.
Beatles For Sale – Not that it’s perfect but I’d leave it as it is. The cover and name would follow up With the Beatles nicely. Most of the songs are okay. Close with I’ll Follow The Sun this time.
Help ! – Same as A Hard Day’s Night , I would leave most of it for an unofficial soundtrack album and I would make singles out of the most beloved songs such as Yesterday , Help !, Ticket To Ride and I’ve Just Seen A Face . I don’t think the material is good or varied enough to fill a great album. Otherwise I would just take Dizzy Miss Lizzy out and make a 13 track album instead, if it was absolutely necessary.
Rubber Soul – Some time ago I discovered that there’s some bad music in this album. Particularly What Goes On , and maybe Run For Your Life I would take out as well. Add We Can Work It Out and Day Tripper . Make In My Life the closer. Done.
Revolver – I wouldn’t change the tracklist because I like every song but maybe get rid of fade-outs. This album is full of fade-outs every other song and they aren’t even 4 minutes long. Adding some resolution to the tracks would make it even better.
Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band & Magical Mystery Tour – Well it’s tricky because I love MMT more than Sgt. Pepper but Pepper can’t go y’know it’s more influential. The cover and name stay of course. So take out When I’m Sixty-Four and Within You Without You , add Strawberry Fields Forever opening side B, followed by Penny Lane and Blue Jay Way (for George). Hello, Goodbye /I Am The Walrus and All You Need Is Love /Baby, You’re a Rich Man stay as mad singles and you make an EP/soundtrack out of the remaining tracks just like originally and there is no MMT (I still love that album though
)
White Album – I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SINGLE, MORTY. BOOM, BIG REVEAL, I’M A SINGLE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SINGLE! I’M SINGLE DIIIIIIIISC!!! And the rest just unreleased, who wants to actually hear Bungalow Bill anyway? For more information go to my single White Album post. I wouldn’t change While My Guitar Gently Weeps because even though I prefer the acoustic version, I think the electric version following up Blackbird fits better. But I’d change Yer Blues for the Dirty Mac version. Dear Prudence would be better edited as the 2018 version, with the swirling guitar on both channels instead of just the right one.
Yellow Submarine – Unnecessary. Release it, but it shouldn’t be cannon.
Abbey Road – Nothing, I think it’s perfect. Love it.
@QuarryMan said
I would get rid of Maxwell and Octopus, then shunt Here Comes The Sun and Because onto side 1, leaving side 2 for the medley alone.
NO NO NO NO DON’T YOU GET IT?!
I’ve always considered Here Comes The Sun and Because a part of the Medley. I know that they aren’t but that’s stupid. There is no connection between You Never Give Me Your Money to Sun King whatsoever, nor between Sun King to Mean Mr. Mustard & She Came In Through The Bathroom Window to Golden Slumbers . Why do we call it a Medley anyway? There are two Medleys actually and the first one starts with Mean Mr. Mustard cut it out. Sun King has the phrase “Here Comes The Sun … king” and it has vocal harmonies reminiscent of Because and those harmonies are even referenced in the bridge of You Never Give Me Your Money . Side B (entirely) is just an endless cycle of self-reference, and Here Comes The Sun and Because would never fit Side A just as good. NO. Side B of Abbey Road is perfect cause very track compliments each other and Side A is perfect cause it’s a mini-version of the White Album (think about it: 2 serious badass tracks for Lennon, 2 corny pretty songs for Paul, a stunning track for George and a good track from Ringo, miles away better than Don’t Pass Me By if you ask me).
Let It Be – Prolly a lot like Naked. Just take out Maggi Mae, add Don’t Let Me Down , fix Across The Universe and maybe (just maybe) add the full version of Dig It . Call it “Get Back ” instead and put in the photo of the “old” Beatles imitating Please Please Me . You got yourself a realized discography. Fuck you Spector.

Offline If i were to do a no covers discography, i’d probably look something like this:
Please Please Me (1963) (note that while 10 tracks may seem short, some albums contained this few tracks, most notably a few by Elvis Presley)
Side A:
Side B:
P.S. I Love You
Do You Want To Know A Secret ?
With The Beatles (1963) (Meet The Beatles! (1964) except I Saw Her Standing There and Till There Was You removed and I’ll Get You and She Loves You tacked onto end)
A Hard Day’s Night (1964) (same except Can’t Buy Me Love removed)
Beatles For Sale (1964)
Side A:
I Follow The Sun
Side B:
I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party
Help ! (1965) (same except replace Act Naturally with Yes It Is and Dizzy Miss Lizzy with I’m Down )
Yellow Submarine (1969) (note that while the album doesn’t contain any covers, not all of the songs are Beatles songs)
Side A:
Side B:
You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)
Let It Be (1970)
Side A:
Side B:
Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), Magical Mystery Tour (US, 1967), The BEATLES (1968), and Abbey Road (1969) would remain untouched

*Edit: 
I’d leave Please Please Me the exact way it is, but I’d maybe switch around With the Beatles a bit– take out “Little Child ” and “I Wanna Be Your Man ” and replace them with “She Loves You ” and “I’ll Get You ” or “I Want To Hold Your Hand ” and “This Boy “, but leave everything else.

hmmm…..I would take out “Mr. Moonlight” and put in “I Call Your Name “. That would fit nicely, I think. I was gonna say we could slip in “Long Tall Sally ” in there as well but Paul already has his Little Richard number and “Kansas City ” does just fine in Beatles For Sale .
*Edit: I agree. Close with “IFTS”

I would just leave everything on Rubber Soul the way it is and just slip in “We Can Work It Out ” somewhere– it can be done, I think. Also, I don’t think that there’s any bad music on Rubber Soul — it’s my favorite album, and though “What Goes On ” is weaker than everything else on it, it’s not bad, just incomparable.
Revolver – I wouldn’t change the tracklist because I like every song but maybe get rid of fade-outs. This album is full of fade-outs every other song and they aren’t even 4 minutes long. Adding some resolution to the tracks would make it even better.
I love Revolver don’t get me wrong but like there are a few tiny problems I’d like to address….
First, I’d fix the canon mix of “Eleanor Rigby “. Then, I’d take out “Yellow Submarine ” and “Doctor Robert ,” release them as a weird single deal, and then add in “Rain ” and “Paperback Writer .” Boom! Done. Perfect.
Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band & Magical Mystery Tour – Well it’s tricky because I love MMT more than Sgt. Pepper but Pepper can’t go y’know it’s more influential.

No. Leave White Album the way she is– she don’t need to change. And I would like to “actually hear” “Bungalow Bill” thank you very much! White Album shouldn’t be touched. Period.
Yellow Submarine – Unnecessary. Release it, but it’s not cannon.
Hmmmm….release George Martin’s score for it on its own. But then take Side 1, cut out “Yellow Submarine ” and “All You Need Is Love ” and then release that as some sort of weird psychedelic EP called Hey Bulldog .
With this track listing:
Side 1
1. Hey Bulldog
Side 2
Abbey Road – Nothing, I think it’s perfect. Love it.
I agree, except shorten “IWY(SSH)”
Let It Be – Prolly a lot like Naked. Just take out Maggie Mae , add Don’t Let Me Down , fix Across The Universe and maybe (just maybe) add the full version of Dig It .

YNGMYM connects to Sun King with sound effects, Sun King connects to Mean Mr. Mustard with a drum fill over Sun King ‘s final guitar chord, only SCITTBW and Golden Slumbers have silence in-between them.
Also, while their final 3 albums have a more straightforward rock sound, Abbey Road sounds really polished compared to the other 2.

@lovelyritametermaid I edited my post because I didn’t feel comfortable with some of the things I previously wrote so you might wanna revisit some of your responses.
Also White Album needs a serious change
@Dark Overlord said
But what’s the point of a soundtrack album if half of the musical numbers (including the title track) are missing?
No no, they would be there, I never said otherwise. For example, I believe Can’t Buy Me Love /You Can’t Do That was already a single before A Hard Day’s Night (the album) came out. So it would just be singles plus the album that has the singles inside of it. Although now that I’m thinking about it, it would probably be better as en EP, yeah, that would be prefect for me A Hard Day’s Night “soundtrack EP”
with non of the other borring shit on the original LP (I’m Happy Just To Dance With You – Tell Me Why – Any Time At All – I’ll Cry Instead , I hate this track – When I Get Home – You Can’t Do That – I’ll Be Back )
YNGMYM connects to Sun King with sound effects, Sun King connects to Mean Mr. Mustard with a drum fill over Sun King ‘s final guitar chord, only SCITTBW and Golden Slumbers have silence in-between them.
I’m aware, but that’s not a medley. That’s a vague sound that transits from one to another. Not only it could easily be removed but it also could be very easily added to Because and Here Comes The Sun as well. Those sounds between YNGMYM and Sun King are just studio magic, the songs aren’t connected, that is not a medley. As for Sun King /Mean Mr. Mustard, I GUESS you’re right but they work as separated track just as well so I don’t feel they are too intertwined to actually be called a medley. The way Mean Mr. Mustard transitions into Polythene Pam , now that is a medley.

Offline I’d leave most as they were but certainly remove ‘Dizzy Miss Lizzy ‘ as it simply does not work as the album closer after ‘Yesterday ‘ and the other gentler numbers on side two. ‘AHDN ‘ had 13 tracks, I’m happy for ‘Help !’ to do so as well. I’m also happy with the singles being stand-alones where applicable.
If going solely to please my desires, I’d remove ‘Hold Me Tight ‘ and throw in ‘One After 909 ‘ (tho it may require a shuffling of the tracklisting) as well as ditching ‘Kansas City ‘ on ‘BFS’ for ‘Long Tall Sally ‘. ‘Kansas’ could then be added to the EP which is renamed ‘Slow Down ‘. Suppose the Spector mix of ‘ATU’ would be replaced with either a completely different mix (the Glyn Johns one?) or simply adjust Spector’s to the normal speed.
Everything else I have no major issues with despite there being some tracks I’m not that enamoured with. ‘The Beatles’ is a sprawling mess but that’s what makes it so brilliant, change that and you lose so much of its appeal.

Beatles For Sale – Not that it’s perfect but I’d leave it as it is. The cover and name would follow up the fictional With the Beatles nicely. Most of the songs are okay. Close withI’ll Follow The Sun this time.
hmmm…..I would take out “Mr. Moonlight” and put in “I Call Your Name “. That would fit nicely, I think. I was gonna say we could slip in “Long Tall Sally ” in there as well but Paul already has his Little Richard number and “Kansas City ” does just fine in Beatles For Sale .
*Edit: I agree. Close with “IFTS”
I’m glad you agree with some of what I said, but
NO. Absolutely not. I think Mr. Moonlight is overhated and it’s not the worst track off Beatles For Sale . I Call Your Name is one of their ugliest singles, what? no. If you want to take Mr. Moonlight out do it (not that it’s fantastic or anything) but change it for something else, I don’t know. What do we got? I Feel Fine ? She’s A Woman ? Yes It Is ? Just not I Call Your Name , yuck.
Help ! – Same as A Hard Day’s Night , I would leave most of it for an unofficial soundtrack album and I would make singles out of the most beloved songs such as Yesterday , Help !, Ticket To Ride and I’ve Just Seen A Face . I don’t think the material is good or varied enough to fill a great album. Otherwise I would just take Dizzy Miss Lizzy out and make a 13 track album instead, if it was absolutely necessary.
*double gasp* tho I don’t care too much for Dizzy Miss Lizzy either tbh she can go but like leave everything else don’t butcher my baby!
The filler on this album is worst than on A Hard Day’s Night . Make it an EP x2
Rubber Soul – Some time ago I discovered that there’s some bad music in this album. Particularly What Goes On , and maybe Run For Your Life I would take out as well. Add We Can Work It Out and Day Tripper . Make In My Life the closer. Done.
I would just leave everything on Rubber Soul the way it is and just slip in “We Can Work It Out ” somewhere– it can be done, I think. Also, I don’t think that there’s any bad music on Rubber Soul — it’s my favorite album, and though “What Goes On ” is weaker than everything else on it, it’s not bad, just incomparable.
That Ringo song is annoying af and it ruins the album.
Revolver – I wouldn’t change the tracklist because I like every song but maybe get rid of fade-outs. This album is full of fade-outs every other song and they aren’t even 4 minutes long. Adding some resolution to the tracks would make it even better.
I love Revolver don’t get me wrong but like there are a few tiny problems I’d like to address….
First, I’d fix the canon mix of “Eleanor Rigby “. Then, I’d take out “Yellow Submarine ” and “Doctor Robert ,” release them as a weird single deal, and then add in “Rain ” and “Paperback Writer .” Boom! Done. Perfect.
MMMMMM tough decision because I kinda agree with you… Paperback Writer and Rain ARE amazing and they do sound Revolver -ish. Maybe Rain could close side A, Paperback Writer open side B. But I don’t think Doctor Robert and Yellow Submarine are bad, I like those tracks. But maybe they could be singles…
I dunno, I don’t hate any song you just mentioned. Maybe a 16 track album? I mean, the album would still be under 40 minutes. Sure, it wouldn’t totally fit with the Beatles’ previous 14-track album tradition but maybe it would make it more… unique? UGH this is hard. Don’t know, anything goes. Still, get rid of the fade outs.
As for the Eleanor Rigby mix, sure, why not, it could use some re-mixing.
Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band & Magical Mystery Tour – Well it’s tricky because I love MMT more than Sgt. Pepper but Pepper can’t go y’know it’s more influential. The cover and name stay of course. So take out When I’m Sixty-Four and Within You Without You , add Strawberry Fields Forever , Penny Lane and Blue Jay Way (for George). Hello, Goodbye /I Am The Walrus and All You Need Is Love /Baby, You’re a Rich Man stay as mad singles and you make an EP/soundtrack out of the remaining tracks just like originally and there is no MMT (I still love that album though
Hmmmm….. I disagree. I would just leave them the way that they are. I can’t imagine not having Pepper the way it is now– “WI64” and “WYWY” has to stay, for me!
It’s just that Within You Without You and When I’m Sixty-Four don’t sound PEPPER y’know. They stick out like sore thumbs too much. Some of the MMT tracks would ease that feeling for me.
White Album – I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SINGLE, MORTY. BOOM, BIG REVEAL, I’M A SINGLE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SINGLE! I’M SINGLE DIIIIIIIISC!!! And the rest just unreleased, who wants to actually hear Bungalow Bill anyway? For more information go to my single White Album post. I wouldn’t change While My Guitar Gently Weeps because even though I prefer the acoustic version, I think the electric version following up Blackbird fits better. But I’d change Yer Blues for the Dirty Mac version. Dear Prudence would be better edited as the 2018 version, with the swirling guitar on both channels instead of just the right one.
No. Leave White Album the way she is– she don’t need to change. And I would like to “actually hear” “Bungalow Bill” thank you very much! White Album shouldn’t be touched. Period.

Yellow Submarine – Unnecessary. Release it, but it’s not cannon.
Hmmmm….release George Martin’s score for it on its own. But then take Side 1, cut out “Yellow Submarine ” and “All You Need Is Love ” and then release that as some sort of weird psychedelic EP called Hey Bulldog .
With this track listing:
Side 1
1. Hey Bulldog
Side 2
Abbey Road – Nothing, I think it’s perfect. Love it.
I agree, except shorten “IWY(SSH)”
Agree, that ending is too long-winded.
Let It Be – Prolly a lot like Naked. Just take out Maggie Mae , add Don’t Let Me Down , fix Across The Universe and maybe (just maybe) add the full version of Dig It .
Hmmmmm…..I actually don’t know what I’d do with LIB …..prob just leave it the way it is?
Maybe. I don’t know, it’s imperfectness might be appealing in some way, but if I were George Martin and I WAS working in Let It Be that’s how I would do it.

Please Please Me & With the Beatles – I’ve always felt this two albums are really similar, so I would just take out There’s a Place (because it sounds like Chains but bad) out of Please Please Me and add All I’ve Got To Do . I’d use the With the Beatles cover and name but 13 of the songs would be from Please PleaseMe and the other 13 songs from With the Beatles I would just leave (if they’re good, eg All My Loving ) for singles and (if they are bad) unreleased.Please Please Me & With the Beatles – I’d leave them as they are. Not that they are perfect but both names and covers are really memorable. And there is no track that it’s atrocious.
*Edit:
I’d leave Please Please Me the exact way it is, but I’d maybe switch around With the Beatles a bit– take out “Little Child ” and “I Wanna Be Your Man ” and replace them with “She Loves You ” and “I’ll Get You ” or “I Want To Hold Your Hand ” and “This Boy “, but leave everything else.
Actually I would like to see This Boy (and some of the other singles) on With the Beatles so yeah, sure. But I Wanna Be Your Man isn’t that bad, it has energy. If I were to take a track off With the Beatles it would be Don’t Bother Me (sorry George that melody sucks
A Hard Day’s Night – Meh. I think I’d release two singles instead: And I Love Her /If I Fell – A Hard Day’s Night /I Should Have Known Better. The rest would be on a soundtrack album or something. Don’t really an album I adore.
*gasps in shock*
I’d leave AHDN the exact way it is. The entire thing is a bop, I love every single track, and I see no point in trying to fix something that doesn’t need to be fixed.
No, baby, that album is flooding with filler especially on side B. Make it an EP.
Literally I— *sighs*
It just pains me to just dismiss all those great tracks on Help ! and AHDN as filler. And you just throw around the word “filler” too without actually, y’know, talking about the songs individually. They’re good ass songs. Like– literally there are so many great songs that would’ve freaking made a whole entire career for any other band!
Geez– Can someone else please back me up on this?? 
Beatles For Sale – Not that it’s perfect but I’d leave it as it is. The cover and name would follow up the fictional With the Beatles nicely. Most of the songs are okay. Close withI’ll Follow The Sun this time.

I am a firm fan of “ICYN”– it’s not terrific or astounding, but, IMO, it’s a good-enough, catchy track. I don’t find it ugly— maybe it needs a bit of polishing in the production area but still. And yeah you could put “She’s A Woman ” or “I Feel Fine ” on there, but they, for me, would seem more out of place on BFS than “ICYN”

welp to me that sound PEPPER– very much so, and I can’t imagine Pepper any other way *hurrumph* and I can’t imagine MMT any other way either– well, actually, if the opener was made a bit better that would be nice, now that I think about it……

But what’s the point of a soundtrack album if half of the musical numbers (including the title track) are missing?No no, they would be there, I never said otherwise. For example, I believe Can’t Buy Me Love /You Can’t Do That was already a single before A Hard Day’s Night (the album) came out. So it would just be singles plus the album that has the singles inside of it. Although now that I’m thinking about it, it would probably be better as en EP, yeah, that would be prefect for me A Hard Day’s Night “soundtrack EP”
Sorry about that, i thought when you said that you’d release those 4 songs as singles and put the rest on a soundtrack album, i assumed you meant that those 4 weren’t going to be included.
But i like the album the way it is.
YNGMYM connects to Sun King with sound effects, Sun King connects to Mean Mr. Mustard with a drum fill over Sun King ‘s final guitar chord, only SCITTBW and Golden Slumbers have silence in-between them.
I’m aware, but that’s not a medley. That’s a vague sound that transits from one to another. Not only it could easily be removed but it also could be very easily added to Because and Here Comes The Sun as well. Those sounds between YNGMYM and Sun King are just studio magic, the songs aren’t connected, that is not a medley. As for Sun King /Mean Mr. Mustard, I GUESS you’re right but they work as separated track just as well so I don’t feel they are too intertwined to actually be called a medley. The way Mean Mr. Mustard transitions into Polythene Pam , now that is a medley.
Ironically, the transition from Mean Mr. Mustard to Polythene Pam is the real example of studio magic, as it’s just a straight jump cut.
But in all seriousness, most medleys are recorded separately. Hell, This Boy , I’ll Cry Instead , Another Girl , Strawberry Fields Forever , and many other Beatles songs actually consist of multiple takes spliced together.

I’d leave most as they were but certainly remove ‘Dizzy Miss Lizzy ‘ as it simply does not work as the album closer after ‘Yesterday ‘ and the other gentler numbers on side two. ‘AHDN ‘ had 13 tracks, I’m happy for ‘Help !’ to do so as well. I’m also happy with the singles being stand-alones where applicable.
Better yet, i think they should’ve also removed Act Naturally , as well as Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You from Please Please Me and You Can’t Do That from A Hard Day’s Night . This way, you would’ve had 12 track albums in the summer and 14 track albums in the fall, Help ! would be all original, and their 1st (and worst) single would be left as just a single.
Everything else I have no major issues with despite there being some tracks I’m not that enamoured with. ‘The Beatles’ is a sprawling mess but that’s what makes it so brilliant, change that and you lose so much of its appeal.
Agreed, while i don’t like it nearly as much as i used to, the stripped and clustered vibe is what makes the album as good as it is.

Sgt. Pepper is the last album i’d want to alter but if i were to, i’d use Only A Northern Song instead of Blue Jay Way since the former was recorded during the sessions.
