RE :”I don’t know, one of the Sgt. Pepper’s/Magical Mystery Tour songs was used in the final episode of The Prisoner in the 1960s.”

In the early 1980s I was buying up every Beatles album I could find and I remember this Rarities album

Rarities (The Beatles compilations US version 1980)

It has a German version of I want to Hold your hand.

And a version of Help that had John as lead singer instead of Paul.

There were two diffent versions of the THE Rarities album.

And then they were set to go to press with Sessions at some point in the 80s and then didn’t. And then it was bootlegged (including the album cover art).

Eventually they put out the Anthology series. And said THAT’S IT, THERE ARE NO MORE BEATLES SONGS.

Except there are. And they will be trickling out of the vault for the next 10 years as each year’s recordings come up for public domain consideration.

Recall the banned album cover with the dead baby dolls, to protest the record companies hacking up their British albums to make US versions with less songs on each, to create more to sell.

The individual Beatles songs after break up tended to be crappy with a few exceptions.

John’ Lennon’s single work was dramatically worse than his work as a Beatle.

I like that song were he rips Paul. Talk about childish, but entertaining too.
