1967 as a single disk? | Page 3 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Havent worked out the exact final track order but something like below, no Ringo but he only had one song and i dont care for it.

Side 1

1. Strawberry Fields (natural opener)
2. Baby, You’re A Rich Man
3. Lucy In The Sky
4. Getting Better  
5. I Am The Walrus
6. Hello, Goodbye
7. Mr Kite

Side 2

1. Within You Without You
2. The Fool On The Hill
3. Lovely Rita
4. Good Morning, Good Morning
5. Pepper Reprise
6. Day In The Life

Last 4 work perfectly so why change them.

I dont care for the rest of Paul’s ’67 material if being honest; I don’t care when it comes on and i dont care when it stops, its fine and most fills up the time nicely but none really grabs me. As said elsewhere i can happily skip ‘Pepper’ and ‘With A Little Help ‘ and if anything it improves the whole ‘Pepper’ LP experience as i dont have to labour thru and i’ve never gotten the adoration ‘Penny Lane ‘ gets. ‘Your Mother Should Know ‘ on the other hand feels like it lasts far longer than it does – and its only a 2 1/2 minute track. It doesn’t do anything or go anywhere! ‘Flying ‘ is pleasany but filler.

‘All You Need Is Love ‘ can be the stand alone single b/w ‘Fixing A Hole ‘ just so both see a release. Maybe do an EP with ‘She’s Leaving Home ‘ and, erm, nope i got nothing. Maybe i’ve forgotten something. Can i do the first three track single?  Oh, the material that ended up on ‘Yellow Submarine ‘. I’ll therefore get a bonus Ep with ‘She’s Leaving Home ‘… no that wont work either as i dont have a John song to go on it.  I throw my hands in the air, lock it all in the vault and refuse to release it for 75 years.

If i was to make it into a 14 track album i’d probably opt for ‘Blue Jay Way ‘ but it doesn’t fit on it. I’ve actually listened to it twice in the last two days and its growing on me.
