I would argue that MMT is compiled from the UK EP set and separately released singles. LIB was always intended as an album. Spector only provide the running order and the mix.

Sad that Ron Nasty will no longer be showing up in these MMT threads to deny its album-status 🙁

Richard, Rube

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Perhaps because there’s nothing to deny.a-hard-days-night-george-10

EDIT: In case the line above feels inappropriate; I didn’t know Ron Nasty passed away at that point and read @vonbontee ‘s sentence completely the wrong way.

The title track could be a bit shorter, closer to an intro like the one on SPLHCB . And Only A Northern Song just begs to be added to the tracklist. It’s All Too Much does too, but is a bit harder to fit. Other than that, MMT is a perfect album.

Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members.

It’s just a mix of songs thrown together that didn’t belong anywhere else!

As far as I’m concerned, if a bunch of Beatles songs are on a single vinyl album and it has its own cover and title, and *all* the songs are not just culled from other Beatles albums — then that’s enough to call it a “Beatles album”.

Now today I find, you have changed your mind
