Would you buy a single album version of The Beatles White Album?

I've tried putting together a track list for a one LP and I can't even get close.

.

 

‘Can You Take Me Back” 12” Extended Club Mix, now that’s innovative!
On glow in the dark vinyl!

 

No.....but I usually select & edit the tracks I like to play in the car

 

I edited that track and boosted the wav file, it’s a great track, wonder if there is a longer version

 

No?

 

"Extended Club Mix Instrumental 12" Edit" please

 

No.

 

What if it was a limited Record Day exclusive?

 

Now less than ever!
The idea of a single 'White Album' is not too bad but we all have probably a different tracklist and a release need one.
Way to difficult so I just create the tracklist myself.

 

That was just some jam during the 'I Will' session. Some bootlegs have the full version of it (check the video).
Hope there will come a White Album box set soon with this complete jam included.

 

This is a pretty cool mash up on you tube extended to a little over two minutes.

 

Seems like there are plenty of jams, studio rehearsals and unheard “fly on the wall” material from this era to entice any fan were they to edit and release it. Throw in a new mix of the complete Home Demos and I would be sold.

 

No one likes "Goodbye"?

 

There is that extended (faked) bit on the Love CD.

 

Repost: My 14-track White Album:

A

1 Revolution (single version)
2 Dear Prudence
3 Martha My Dear
4 Me & My Monkey
5 While My Guitar Gently Weeps
6 Happiness Is A Warm Gun
7 I'm So Tired

B

8 Back In The USSR
9 Yer Blues
10 Mother Nature's Son
11 Helter Skelter
12 Long Long Long
13 Cry Baby Cry
14 Julia

 

Sure. It's The Beatles. Just as long as they don't try to title the single lp as "The Beatles".

 

I know. Like getting 15 songs instead of 30 is some kind of virtue. But to each his own....

 

here's my suggested track listing:

1--Back in the USSR
2--Revolution (single version)
3--Wild Honey Pie
4--Savoy Truffle
5--Dear Prudence
6--I'm So Tired/Can you take me back
7--Long Long Long

8--Everybody's got something to hide
9--Why Don't We Do It in the Road?
10--Sexy Sadie
11--Yer Blues
12--While My Guitar Gently Weeps
13--Helter Skelter
14--Julia

i still left off too many good songs.

 

Would a single record be a better record? Maybe. Would it sell more? No. The question I ask is: Is there really a way to whittle this down to make it a more impressive package? Nah, IMO. It's the Beatles. Now, if you had said 2 single albums, I could bite on that. One comes out around October 31, 1968. Deluxe with 4 glossy photos in a white sleeve called The Beatles. It's an eclectic album with a mix of styles:

Side 1
1. Back In The USSR
2. Dear Prudebce
3. Glass Onion
4. Wild Honey Pie
5. Bungalow Bill
6. Sexy Sadie
7. Everybody's Got Something To Hide....
8. I Will
9. Happiness Is A Warm Gun

Side 2
1. Martha My Dear
2. Revolution 1
3. I'm So Tired
4. Rocket Raccoon
5. Piggies
6. Why Don't We Do It in the Road
7. Revolution 9 (edit)
8. Long Long Long
9.Good Night

The other album is called Beatles Again. This one comes out 2nd week in December 1968. Much more hits-oriented versus little ditties. Comes with a cool poster. It's too bad that iconic Hey Jude cover photo was several months away, because that's the one I would like to use.

Side 1
1. Hey Jude
2. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
3. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
4. Blackbird
5. Don't Pass Me By
6. Honey Pie
7. Julia

Side 2
1. Birthday
2. Yer Blues
3. Mother Nature's Son
4. Helter Skelter
5. Savoy Truffle
6. Cry Baby Cry
7. Revolution

 

As you probably know, the White Album doesn't fit onto a standard 80 minute cdr, so some tracks have to be cut out. "Goodbye" is always one to get axed (along with Rev 9)

 

Well it is called "Goodbye".

 

Not a bad idea at all--it's how Radiohead ended up with Amnesiac: from material culled during the recording of Kid A.

For mine, the group releases one album on November 22nd, 1968, titled Revolution (also, the Yellow Submarine soundtrack was orchestral-only, freeing up several of those studio cuts).

Beatles / Revolution:

Side A

1-Revolution (single)
2 Dear Prudence
3 Martha My Dear
4 The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
5 All Together Now
6 While My Guitar Gently Weeps
7 Blackbird

Side B

8 Back In The USSR
9 Glass Onion
10 Mother Nature's Son
11 Sexy Sadie
12 Long Long Long
13 I Will
14 Hey Jude

Then on January 3rd, 1969, the band releases the decidedly darker, weirder, harder rocking and less-jaunty A Doll's House with the remaining material of this time, just as they're entering the soundstage rehearsals for Let It Be.

Beatles / A Doll's House:

Side A

1 Me & My Monkey
2 Yer Blues
3 Not Guilty
4 Why Don't We Do It in the Road
5 Happiness Is A Warm Gun
6 Julia

Side B

7 Sour Milk Sea
8 Hey Bulldog
9 I'm So Tired
10 Piggies
11 Helter Skelter
12 Cry Baby Cry / Can You Take Me Back
13 Revolution 9

 

Very John-centric. But I like the Revolution single opening the show.

 

I definitely wouldn't.

If I wanted a single LP (which I don't) I could come up with a track list myself.

I don't care much for the input of half-the-band, 50 years after the fact.

 

Would it be half price? How about $9?
