******** That would have given more balance to the US Revolver...John would have had only one track less than Paul's
******** five and one more than George...
********
********
********Of course, that means with "Yellow Submarine', the US version would have featured 13 tracks and record companies then wanted to stop at 12 tracks maximum...
********

********
******** So maybe 'Yellow Submarine' should only have been available as a single until making the 'Hey Jude' album in early 1970?

*******The only point of reference I have is when I was a kid and as I stated in my answer to your post below it was one of my favorite Beatle albums as a kid.I have to relisten to it.Your selection is ok but I'm used to hearing it the way I remember it.

****** I'm the same way about the US Rubber Soul. The British release is just fine, but it's the US format I cherish!

****i used to think that but what really changed me over to the UK versions were that they were actually the Beatles versions. they were how they wanted the album structured and mixed with the order of songs to be played. the North American versions were what a corporation wanted for 'sales' and 'product' consumption.
****
****I think it was Sgt. Pepper where they finally aligned.

*** I think the US Rubber Soul was the one situation where Capitol stumbled into the right thing... Ron Schaumberg, author of "Growing Up With The Beatles", called RS the Fabs' wood and smoke album... The acoustic flavor is dominant... Take away 'I've Just Seen a Face' and that lessens the flavour as would the absence of "It's Only Love"..

***The US Rubber Soul was the one instance where the choices actually worked to enhance the overall mood of the lp, even though that wasn't Capitol's motivation..

** Yes, and "I'm Looking Through You " is more charming for the false starts.

*the songs just mesh better on the US version - UK version sounds disjointed
I also think it's better for the absence of 'What Goes On'... While I don't hate it, I do rate it as one of my least favorite Beatle songs...Followup Messages:
