Hey, I’m new to the forums, but I have visited the site a bunch since January. So, I thought my first post should be on what would be on my single disc “The Beatles” album. I am a huge fan of Beatles, but I am a bit of a newbie, only starting to listen to them in September. I am also using songs that weren’t on the White Album , but were released in 1968. So, here it goes.
Side One
1-Back In The U.S.S.R.
6-While My Guitar Gently Weeps
7-Hey Jude
Side Two
1- Helter Skelter
2- Lady Madonna
3- Piggies
4- Honey Pie
6- Julia
7- Good Night

Offline ^ Welcome aboard Irate. Nice listing, it has me thinking even more that the White Album is really amazing since everyone has come up with such awesome variations for it.

Offline @Starr Shine? I’m not sure I like yours. It seems kind of… what’s the word… horrible.
Why would you make such a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad album.
Blech. Gimme some bacon.

Offline I actually am with George Martin on the one disc comment but it is very hard to whittle it down to 14 though.
1.Back In The USSR
2 Dear Prudence
3 Helter Skelter
4 Mother Nature’s Son
5 I will
6 Rocky Racoon
7 Don’t Pass Me By
8 Happiness Is A Warm Gun
9 Long, Long, Long
10 Birthday
11 Blackbird
12 Revolution 1
13 I’m So Tired
14 While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Offline I don’t think I could fall within the parameters required. I’d want all 5 of George’s songs on the lp, and none of the “solo” ( Julia , I Will ” , etc. ) on it. My lp would probably have only 2 PM songs on it, mostly George and John, which we know never would have gone over. Still think George Martin was right about it being a single lp: frankly, there’s too much weak or solo material on it. Just my opinion.
and though it breaks the rules;
side 1. side 2.
1. Back In The USSR 1. Revolution 1
2.Dear Prudence 2.Savoy Truffle
3. Not Guilty 3.Cry Baby Cry
4.I’m So Tired 4.Mother Nature’s Son
5.Glass Onion 5. Piggies
6.While My Guitar Gently Weeps 6.Sexy Sadie
7.Happiness Is A Warm Gun 7. Long ,Long, Long

Offline my dream White Album (going to include some of the outtakes that didn’t make it)
Side One:
1. Revolution (Single Version – having it start with the ‘A Beginning’ sequence as an intro before it jumps into ‘Revolution ‘)
2. Honey Pie
3. Sour Milk Sea
5. Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey
7. Revolution 9
Side Two:
9. Sexy Sadie
10. Not Guilty
12. Rocky Raccoon
13. Revolution 1
14. Goodnight
I kind of like the idea of the album having been themed around the Revolutions, with 9 serving as an intermission and 1 being the “reprise”

Offline @MrCleanMachine , welcome.
This would take some serious analysis, but you COULD be the first not to think that While My Guitar Gently Weeps deserves to be included.

Why the *** would anyone want Revolution 9 , Good Night & What’s The New Mary Jane on an single LP is beyond me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are 3 throw away songs, that should have been thrown away! 
They could have shown up on Anthology, and I would have gladly skipped them.
I do agree that Revolution & Revolution 1 should have been included to open & close, perhaps side 2!

Offline I’m one of those who believes the White Album is best as a double lp. I like the way the tempo, rhythm, volume, and subject matter of the songs ebbs and flows. But in trying to cut it down, I agree with @Bongo that those 3 songs would be near the top of the cut list (although Mother Nature’s Son is quite a good song in its own right – but you have to listen closely).
Back In The USSR
Dear Prudence
Sour Milk Sea
Glass Onion
Long, Long, Long
Blackbird
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Revolution 1
Why Don’t We Do It in the Road
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Helter Skelter
Don’t Pass Me By
Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except for Me and my Monkey
Julia
I know this is heavily sides 1-2 weighted, but I almost think the best solution would have been to release sides 1-2 as is as a single lp, then release Revolution 1 and Helter Skelter , with Warm Gun and Monkey as b-sides, as singles. I really like my side 1, but side 2 was much more difficult. As far as Don’t Pass Me By , every Beatles album has a Ringo song, and they wouldn’t have left him off this one. But it was darn hard to fit in! Not Guilty is a better song, and would have fit nicely in its place. Julia is just one of my favorite songs and sets the mood to end it like Good Night did, only Julia is better than Good Night

thank you for the welcoming
as a George song, I don’t think ‘WMGGW’ is all that great compared to his other works with the Beatles

‘What’s The New Mary Jane ‘ should’ve been on the album IMO

Offline It was quite easy to get rid of songs, but when I finished with that, I had 18 left. It was very hard to get rid the remaining songs. And I might just change my mind again tomorrow.
Side 1:
- Martha My Dear
- Happiness Is A Warm Gun
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- Blackbird
- I’m So Tired
- Revolution 1
- I will
Side 2:
This is just a random order.

Offline Cheers and welcome to the forum, @mountart.
@Starr Shine? will be happy you kept Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da , but she may weep along with her guitar because Piggies isn’t on your list.
