I’ve got their entire discography, I just want to know which tracks from Past Masters I & II weren’t in my library beforehand. Thanks!

None of them.

Past Masters is a two-volume compilation album set by The Beatles released in 1988 following the 1987 release of the band’s original UK studio albums on CD. Past Masters collects tracks that were not released on studio albums, so that the band’s entire catalogue could be available on CD. Past Masters contains every song commercially released by EMI from 1962 to 1970 that was not included on the 12 original UK Beatles albums or the Magical Mystery Tour LP. The majority of the album consists of the A- and B-sides of the band’s singles, including single versions of songs that appeared differently on albums. The full contents of the UK-only Long Tall Sally EP, two German language recordings, a song recorded for the American market and a track used on a charity compilation complete the collection.

    All of them, assuming you aren’t including other compilations.

    "Get Back", "Love Me Do", and "Let it Be" are the single versions, "Across the Universe" is an alternate version, and all the others were singles that didn’t appear on the albums.

    pretty much everything on both past masters albums!

    the material was either non-album singles and their b-sides,single versions of songs(let it be),alternate versions of songs(the world wild life version of across the universe and the single version of revolution),b-sides of established hits(i’m down,yes it is,you know my name(look up the number)),as well as other tracks that weren’t previously released on record(long tall sally,matchbox,slow down,i call your name,and bad boy)

    If you’re talking about UK, Most of the songs from past masters were released as singles and weren’t included in albums.

    Bad Boy was released on Beatles VI (US) but it wasn’t released on UK until 1966 on A collection of Beatles oldies.
