A lot of people aren’t aware that that up until Sgt. Pepper, Beatles albums had a UK version and a US version. Some of the songs were the same on both versions, while other songs appeared on two different albums either US or UK.

The Beatles demanded that, beginning with Pepper, both UK and US releases had to have the same songs.

Yes, once the Beatles took hands on control they ended the nonsense of 12 song US vs 14 song UK albums. Capitol did that deliberately so they could cobble together those single compilation albums like ‘Yesterday and Today.’ They still were able to cobble together ‘Hey Jude’ in the end because there were several singles that didn’t appear on any album... those are now all on ‘Past Masters 1 and 2.’
