Im not sure that there are any i would swap despite there being some really good alternate versions, cant think of one. Whilst the acoustic WMGGW is gorgeous and would a real highlight if released on The White Album , the heavier version with Claptons guitar work, George's vocal, Pauls piano and harmonies and Ringo's drums is rightly hailed as a classic and the one i would opt for.

The really major change I could see in a track was in I'm Looking Through You .

"Your Mother Should Know " is one where I definitely like the Anthology version better. I guess because Paul's vocals are so raw and untouched, yeah..
"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

Across The Universe and Strawberry Fields Forever , and possibly While My Guitar Gently Weeps , and Something isn't bad, either.

The part where he says "quit singing with your mouth" I think he was referring to George. Any other ideas on to whom he was referring to?

I think he's talking to George.. but I thought he said "With ciggy in mouth".. both are kinda weird. I learned something today!

Greetings, first post here.
I don't know if I would have chosen it for the final album over the completed version, but I think that the alternate Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is interesting.

Welcome! The alternate take of Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da sounds more "reggaeish" to me.

The acoustic version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is incredible. Why did they drop the third verse?
YES
I mean, normally, I'm the sort of person who thinks that whatever was on the record was what was intended by the divine Beatles and therefore right.
But this is a huge exception to that-- maybe it's because I'm a sucker for acoustic ballads and demo-y things, but this version of WMGGW is just so much... better. In fact I never truly appreciated what a great song it was till I heard the acoustic version (shoot me-- I don't like the WA version much-- it's not gently weeping enough for me, more like loudly wailing).
I suppose Not Guilty on White Album would've been nice too... but no, he could only have two a side, and it couldn't replace any of the ones already on the album. Sigh.
And now I've got to go listen to Leave My Kitten Alone and That Means A Lot ...

I only have the Highlights, so I'm not familiar with most of them, but I love the Anthology version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps . But I've already said that before, as quoted a few posts earlier...
