Just been reading about G Martin saying the Penny Lane/SFFE single being the biggest mistake of his career. So, what if it hadn't been released as a single and they were on Sgt Pepper. Where would you put them, and what would you drop? I would love to drop Within you Without You, but the album has to have a George song, so no. But I'd drop Good Morning and put Penny Lane as the opener for side two, to give it a more upbeat start. Drop Fixing a Hole and slot SFFE on side 1 between She's Leaving Home and Mr Kite? Any thoughts?

The reason I dropped nothing is because nothing really needs to be dropped, not to mention Abbey Road had more tracks than that. The Reprise also leads into A Day In The Life, ditto for the first two tracks, so you basically have 14 right there with the single.
Frightwolf, I think the point is that you have too much to fit on a vinyl album.
I gotcha now. I was thinking in terms of the CD, and in that case, that would be it. *goes back to drawing board to figure out how to fit this on a vinyl*

k, I would probably remove WYWY and Good Morning Good Morning, Penny Lane closes Side A, and make Lovely Rita the opener to Side B. Better

Who's gonna tell George "sorry mate, no song of yours on this album"? I would drop it to, but i don't think politics would allow it. Don't want Mr Harrison walking out Totally with you on Good Morning.
I'd go with a DOUBLE LP, an idea they toyed with originally. Here are the tracks to go on the album.
All the tracks on the issued album, PLUS ...
Only A Northern Song (was to go on the album, until George surfaced with Within You) SFF Penny Lane All Together Now It's All Too Much Baby You're A Rich Man You Know My Name (imo, this fits right into the Pepper groove)
If you use the full eight-minute version of Too Much, and a full length You Know My Name, this is another album's worth of material. All songs were recorded first during Pepper sessions, or straight after.
Just think what a mind-blower of an album THAT would be. Choose your own running order.

Good point, but we're asking where I would put them . And we let George not have a song on his Rooftop Gig, so he'll forgive us... hopefully
I wish you'd had a go. I'd like to see what you come up with.
anyone got any thoughts on putting Rain/Paperback Writer on Revolver? Normal rules, at least one George and 1 Ringo song, fair mix of John and Paul. Sorry if I'm going on, but I love this kind of sh*t. (and I don't think we've done the single White Album properly either

OK, here we go:
DISK ONE Side 1 As commercial version Side 2 Baby You're A Rich Man You Know My Name All Together Now Only A Northern Song DISK TWO Side 3 SFF Penny Lane It's All Too Much Side 4 As commercial version
I know Sides 2 and 3 only total about 30 minutes, but there's some pretty heavy listening there.
This double strikes me as being MUCH MORE psychedelic than the single Pepper album! Time to burn it - it would fit on one CD!
