except for their soundtrack albums, the beatles in particular were pretty strict about keeping their singles separate from their albums for most of their career. (which is why the "past masters" cds exist!)
Ha, contextually funny because they made their first exception to that rule with the Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby double A-side. Why? to supposedly thwart any hit covers of Eleanor Rigby (a decision which likely doubles as a sly dig at the Overlanders' Michelle).

I think that exclusivity was mostly for the "lead" singles - I'm not sure what to call them because even though they're not on the forthcoming LP, they kind of promoted them as a preview of how they'd sound. Either that or the singles couldn't be on an LP before the single was released (only at the same time or after).

Or I should say, I always thought that exclusivity etc
another road where maybe i could see another kind of mind there

Was about to moan about the number of songs that got zero votes, only to see I’ve done it twice already.

Good Day Sunshine is Paul at his most unbearable. I agree that the other three got robbed though

agreed, perhaps my least favorite Beatles songdoes anybody else really really love the “got to get you into my life” demo on anthology?

I don't mind "Good Day Sunshine." I'm not a fan of "Taxman." George Harrison grumbling about having to pay taxes drags it down. The Jam did use the bassline and guitar riff to good effect, though.

quite like Good Day Sunshine, even more so in the "Bad Night Moonlight" version by Peter Serafinowicz where he puts it into a minor key and changes all the lyrics "I need screams / and when the moon is out / I've got something you can scream about"
