Oh No Not Again, A Beatles hypothetical Album 1970



Annoyed at the slapdash attempts to create a hypothetical Beatles
Album Post breakup I put my mind to it. Some people just seemed to
list the first ten solo songs they thought of  without any
consideration of how the songs would actually sound placed next to
each other or the origin of the songs. Firstly I collected all solo
material I could find which had some origin in the Beatles
(considering my knowledge is limited and may have either left out or
unjustly included some songs) . The main exception being I't Don't
Come Easy (a George composition for Ringo or am I being unfair to
Ringo) my thoughts being, it was the Ringo standout for that period
and sounds Beatley. I have seen a couple of references to the Beatle
origin of Uncle Albert /Admiral Halsey so it got a look in and Mind
Games was written in Dec 1969 and it fit better then a couple of other
John tunes so it became a last entrant.
I have spent a lot of time with the running order to make it sound
like a coherant album. There were many other songs also written during
the Beatles which I have at times included then removed several times
over for the sake of the sound of the album. I did not consider things
like 'Oh John would have thought this or Paul would have thought that"
my main consideration was trying to piece the songs together, so I let
the songs do the talking. Yes inevitably my preferences show through.
My format changed several times but Ringo only has the one choice,
George has four (the album sounded better then with just two), Paul
with six and John with five, unfortunately it wasnt equal between J &
P but the flow of the album dictated that not me (I am a John Fan): PS
To those who say "well the Beatles broke up so the whole exercise is
pointless"... well I did it for fun sad as that sounds but it kept me
amused for a while.
I called it "Everest" a discarded Beatles Album Title; The Album Cover
(Yes I even did the artwork as well) was the album cover photo that
went unused from the Hey Jude compilation Album.
