Questions about the Beatles?

Posted by admin on November 24th, 2009 and filed under beatles discography | 4 Comments »

Okay, two questions:

One)Are there any songs available in the UK that weren’t available in the US?
Two)Why isn’t the White Album shown on the US or UK discography?
Edit: Woah, It’s not called The White Album!? I feel like an idiot…
Oh another one, Why were so many songs on multiple albums. Even in just one country, the songs repeat.

Actually, in original release, Magical Mystery Tour was not released in the UK with all the songs as it was in the US. Check out their website for the full discography.

The official discography has the album listed as The Beatles [White Album]

The repeated songs are ones that were put into compilations. Some of these are different versions, such as demos or live. I do not believe that any of the studio albums repeat any songs from any other studio album.

    first off, im almost positive that the UK albums had a few songs that were not in the US
    and second the White Album is actually not its name
    The actual name of the album is The Beatles
    It was nicknamed the white album because, you guessed it, its white

  3. someone else Says:

    No, all the songs are available in both countries, esp. now that the US releases conform to the UK ones.

    Excluding compilations, only two songs on their studio albums repeat:

    "Yellow Submarine" which is on "Revolver" and "Yellow Submarine"

    "All You Need Is Love" which is on "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Yellow Submarine".

    Oddly enough, the cassette and 8-track versions of "Yellow Submarine" also had "Eleanor Rigby", which is also on "Revolver". But the vinyl (and CD) does not.

    Well, it is called The White Album. The official name is The Beatles, but since people would get really confused, they call it The White Album. It’s okay, iTunes also calls it The White Album (well, in parenthesis)
