Many artists from Clapton to Nirvana have done unplugged albums/ sets so what would be your picks for an album of acoustic Beatles songs or alternatively, songs you’d like to see played acoustically.
To start you off, here’s some of their acoustic numbers:
Two Of Us , Blackbird , Yesterday , Girl, Michelle , Here Comes The Sun , While My Guitar Gently Weeps (anthology) Norwegian Wood , If I Needed Someone , I’m Looking Through You .
I would also love to hear acoustic versions of In My Life , Ticket To Ride , Something and Let It Be .
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline The Esher ’68 demos. If Apple develop another braincell, or don’t kill the one that came up with the ‘Pepper’ box, they might realise the potential of those.
