Beatles for Sale was the last album I bought.
I already had most of the songs, as I'd originally purchased Beatles 65 which I think was the US version.
The nice thing was that it had two songs that I'd never heard before, 'I don't want to spoil the Party' & 'What you're doing'
First time I heard What You're Doing was on the Love remix album and I thought it must be an unreleased song. Then I got Beatles For Sale and realised why I should have had it years ago. I forgot to put that song in the B4S list above but it is my fave of the whole CD.
Here's the great Love remix version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW2HfdYuK44

Isn't that great though?
When you think you've more or less heard all the songs & you get a brand new one to listen to.
I had the same with 'Baby you're a rich man'
As I never bought the Magical Mystery tour ep.
It was interesting recently to hear George Martin describing how they had remastered parts of songs, to rectify the shortcomings of their primitive early production techniques. When these bits are pointed out to us, it's easy to hear the difference.

That's why I'm a bootleg whore. I ain't proud of it but it's the only way I can appease the recurring dream where I find a whole new post-Abbey Road album in my record collection. I can see the cover and everything, and once I even woke up singing one of the songs off it, but by the time I got a guitar out to put it down, it had faded.

Listening to I am the Walrus on headphones in stereo, is unflattering. There's quite a few splicing moments that don't quite make it. It put me off listening to it that way.
What bits was he referring to?

I forgot about the Love album. I've not played it in ages. I'll have to dig it out.

That one is a joy to listen to on phones.

I love hearing other versions of songs I know well too.
I've found it. That's coming with me to Cornwall tomorrow - as well as Paul is live - the McCartney live album with the abbey road pastiche cover because he was apparently dead then.
Have a good 'un. Cornwall is great. Re: Macca Have you heard His Fireman album - Electric Arguments, I think?
