Recently I ran into a problem that I thought the Beatles hive-mind here at
Dullblog might be able to solve. My wife and I were driving to a party at a friend’s house; the last time we’d met this friend, he’d discovered I was a Beatle freak. In the course of the conversation, he’d asked me the following question: after the
Anthology series, what good stuff is left? Being lazy and easily distracted, I pointed him to the “Beatles Anthology Outtakes” set. But surely we could improve on that. So: if you were creating a collection of still-unreleased Beatles material, what would you put on it?
That’s easy.
