Reducing Beatles Canon by one album lengthLet's imagine the Beatles were to have released 1 less ~40 minute album in the 60s. But you don't have to remove a whole album, you can just pick 40 minutes of UK album tracks (MMT doesn't count) from their catalog and figure the rest will get reshuffled. What do you remove? Note - if you remove an album track any single or ep version of the same song gets removed - and consider Revolution and Revolution 1 the same song. Go My choices: A Taste of Honey 2:03 Mr Moonlight 2:38 Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey 2:38 Dizzy Miss Lizzy 2:54 Taxman 2:36 Love You To 3:00 She's Leaving Home 3:25 Bungalow Bill 3:14 Piggies 2:04 Revolution 9 8:15 Goodnight 3:14 Dig It 0:50 The Long & Winding Road 3:38 40:29 4 covers 3 Harrison 3 John 2 Paul 1 group "composition" Using Body Parts From All Four Beatles - Build Your Ultimate Super Beatle Explain your choices. Note: you can't use more than four body parts from any one Beatle. I'd definitely start with George's dick. Since this will inevitably turn into yet another purge a bunch of the few George tracks that exist... I'll say purge 40 minutes of McCartney sung, and or written/sung tracks and be done with it. Even though I hate tracks like Mr. Moonlight, What Goes On, and a few others that don't fit my initial statement, 40 minutes of McCartney wouldn't be missed -- by me at least. Why doesn't Magical Mystery Tour count? Not intended by The Beatles as an album so those aren't "album tracks". Judgment call. Would have made it easier for me if it had counted. I would try my best to not mess up the flow of multiple albums, therefore I would attack With the Beatles (their worst 9 song sequence) and Beatles for Sale. Little Child Till There Was You Please Mr. Postman Roll Over Beethoven Hold Me Tight You Really Got a Hold on Me I Wanna Be Your Man Devil in her Heart Not a Second Time Mr. Moonlight Kansas City Words of Love Honey Don't Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby However, that leaves 6 minutes left, and if I can't use MMT or YS then it would likely be Revolution 9 to pick up the slack. I would then take the tracks left from With the Beatles and Beatles for Sale and make this 32 minute album which could rival Hard Day's Night as their best early album: SIDE 1 It Won't Be Long All I've Got to Do All My Loving Don't Bother Me No Reply I'm a Loser Baby's in Black SIDE 2 Rock and Roll Music I'll Follow the Sun Every Little Thing Eight Days a Week What You're Doing I Don't Want to Spoil the Party Money

The obvious answer is remove all the songs rfreeman plans to cover at his Beagles concert.

I couldn't help but notice they are removing the covers of songs originally done by Darkies. Not surprising, though.

My choices: Dizzy Miss Lizzy 2:54 Taxman 2:36 If the Beagles never existed he should be derided for those two choice alone. And yet the Beagles explain those choices because he can't play the guitar solo for either one. In this essay, I will...

Compile a Beatles Album gameRules: 1. George and Ringo each get a lead vocal 2. John and Paul each sing at least 5 lead vocals 3. Up to 14 tracks 4. All tracks were released w/in 12 month span Are existing albums allowed? Absolutely - but I think the rules exclude a few of them My entry: Day TrippersSide A:Drive My Car I'm Only Sleeping You Won't See Me Nowhere Man Dr. Robert Paperback Writer She Said, She Said Side B:And Your Bird Can Sing For No One If I Needed Someone Rain We Can Work It Out What Goes On Day Tripper (With 9 of the 11 tracks from my favorite album Yesterday & Today and 5 other favs from that era, leaning towards rocking tracks but with my fav of their ballads included, and always alternating who sings lead - with Nowhere Man not really having a clear lead) My long time fancy is to compile four perfect Beatles albums, the first up to A Hard Day's Night, the second up to Rubber Sould, the third up until India, and the fourth for the rest. I loom forward to seeing your entries. I might try some from other years as well.

Here's some other games they can play; rules can be included for all.
"Replace every Beatles song on a Beatles album with a Clash song!!" "Compile A Beatles Album from Beatles Songs Beginning with the Letter "I" Only!!" "Make Your Own Sgt. Pepper Style Album Using Only Monkees Songs!!" "What Solo Song Could Spice Up Each Beatles Album?" "Design A Setlist for 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970 Tours!!" (Must Do All Four!!!") "Make A Beatles Album Using Artists Who Sound A Little Like Them from the 1970s and 1980s Only!!!"
"Make Past Masters Useless By Leaving Off Some Cuts and Adding Magical Mystery Tour Songs!!!" (sorry, this one has already been done) "The Beatles: Woke!: Submit Your Tracklist!!!" "What If Revolver And Sgt. Pepper Were Combined Into One Album?" "Not Like The Beatles: Make A Compilation of Beatles Songs That Don't Sound Very Beatles-like!!!" "Reconfigure The Beatles Catalog Capital Records Style for An Imaginary 1960s Country!!!" "Make a New Beatles Album Using Studio Versions of Songs They Did for the BBC!!!"
That should keep them indoors for the Spring and most of Summer...
Remember: Beatards don't just kill time; they murder it. Pure Chronocide.

Actually I was channeling Sugar and Spike I guess: Boy you been a naughty girl She's so good lookin' that she looks like a man Desmond stays at home and does the pretty face And the bag across her shoulder made her look a little like a military man Well, I talk about boys, now, what a bundle of joy! Sweet Loretta Modern thought she was a woman but she was another man (Macca) And Jet, I thought the Major was a lady suffragette

sₚⲁᵣₖydₒg, back in the 80s, I worked at a store that had a ton of back-issue comic books. My coworkers and I used to laugh at all the whacked-out titles DC Comics had put out during the fifties, sixties, and seventies. ( Prez… Brother Power, the Geek… Antro… Bob Hope [!]…etc. etc. etc.) Sugar and Spike was a title I had assumed to be just another case of DC throwing shit at a wall to see what would stick. I was therefore shocked to see this “kiddie” title had had a healthy 15-year run, and was only cancelled when creator Sheldon Mayer’s failing eyesight forced him to retire. Some years ago, I received a few Sugar and Spike CBZ files and was quite happy to discover how my original dismissal of this title was premature. I thoroughly enjoyed the antics of those two and now wish DC would release a compilation of the tykes’ adventures.
