The thing I do like about "If You've Got Trouble" is you can just hear the exact moment when it dawns on Ringo (after he sings about three words) that the song is a terrible piece of shit. “Rock on...anyone...”

We had a conversation on the old SC about The Beatles' / George Martin's editorial decisions. Aside from "Leave My Kitten Alone," we all agreed that nothing that had come out since 1970 was really worth the effort (or 1967, if I'm honest about my own feelings.)
I suspect they canned "Leave My Kitten Alone" because Lennon only knew the first verse.

I suspect they canned "Leave My Kitten Alone" because Lennon only knew the first verse. There are a few things released since the breakup (or on bootleg) that I'm happy to have. From Sessions/Anthology, I like "Leave My Kitten Alone", and that alternate arrangement of "I'm Looking Through You". From bootleg, there's the long version of "It's All Too Much" that I enjoy (mostly because it solved the mystery as to why the version in the Yellow Submarine film has that unique verse). The long version of "Revolution 1" that made the rounds online a few years ago is also a keeper, AFAIAC. I think it's more intersting than the single version, and I listen to it way more than anything on Anthology 3. There is also a sloppy version of an alternate arrangement of "What You're Doing" on bootleg that's a hoot, and I like the so-called "orchestra version" of "Strawberry Fields Forever" (the one that doesn't begin with the melloton). The Kinfauns tape has its moments, as do George's acoustic demos of late-period songs (like "All Things Must Pass"). It figures that most of this stuff is on bootleg. The Anthology series wasn't too great for repeat listening.
