Beatles 2. What would you put on it.

The Beatles 1 has been out almost 20 years now. If there were to be a companion album of essential tracks (called Beatles 2) what would you put on it?

 

You first.

 

2 of us
Love you 2

Those are all of the 2 songs I can think of.

 

Two-morrow never knows

 

Everything that made #2 on the charts?

Wasn't that the concept behind Beatles 1?

 

It's All 2 Much

 

Come Two-gether

 

I want 2 hold your hand

From Me 2 You.

 

You Know my Number
Mr Moonlight
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Don't Pass Me By
I dig a Pony

 

They can name the compilation
Twonk

 

Two of us

 

Elvis had such an album
Elvis Presley - Elvis' Greatest **** Url: https://www.discogs.com/Elvis-Presley-Elvis-Greatest-****/release/7424285 Shared from the Discogs App

 

I did something like this and used the B-sides of the songs used on 1, and jokingly called it "2".

 

that's very funny ,never saw that before

 

Or just a single, titled Two By Four.

 

How about this 2-disc set?

Cool. Thank you. It’s unfortunate they named it Beatles 1 by the way.

 

I'd call it "The Beatles +", just like the DVD some years ago.

 

Great idea.

 

I'd rather see a double 'Complete UK Singles A and B Sides' collection. All using the original 45 mixes, mostly mono. This fits on 2 CDs with space for the stray Bad Boy and original Across the Universe tracks as well as the Long Tall Sally EP.

The DVD was 'The Beatles 1 +', wasn't it?

 

The b-sides of the Beatles 1 singles, obviously.

This thread allows me to bang the drum again for my most-desired Beatles release: a 3-CD deluxe issue of all the UK and US Beatles singles, accompanied by a booklet with all associated 45 covers and an essay by someone knowledgeable. Front cover should be the whimsical portrait of the band by Patrick, seen in my avatar.

 

I think a second tier of hits/well known tracks could be:
1. Please Please Me
2. I Saw Her Standing There
3. Twist And Shout
4. All My Loving
5. And I Love Her
6. Rock And Roll Music
7. Drive My Car
8. Nowhere Man
9. In My Life
10. Taxman
11. Got To Get You Into My Life
12. Strawberry Fields Forever
13. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
14. With A Little Help From My Friends
15. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
16. I Am The Walrus
17. Revolution
18. Back In The USSR
19. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
20. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
21. Don't Let Me Down
22. Here Comes The Sun
23. Two Of Us
24. Free As A Bird

 

While I don't agree with each and every song (I definitely would not include Free As A Bird and Real Love), that's a great set. Basically it's the best of the album tracks. i think it would be a moderate seller though nowhere nearly as bug as "1". But a very good compilation, nonetheless.
