Another never-made Beatles product for your consideration and criticism.  As a young lad growing up on the mean streets of West Springfield, Massachusetts, I was thrilled when I was given 1962-1966 for Christmas, and my family actually let me play it on the living stereo as we did post-present-opening things.  Unheard of, since my mom and dad were much, much older and had little tolerance for any kind of music (except for "The Sound of Music" and such.  Which I still love.).
I got 1967-1970 a month later for my birthday.
I've always marveled how a band could give you four pieces of vinyl overflowing with great songs in a period of about seven years.  Bands today can't even record four albums in that time.  When future acquaintances would talk about how great the albums were, I'd think, "Yeah, and they could've done wach as a three-album set, probably."
So without further adieu (ado?) here is the missing two albums, which I'll call "The Green Album," for a laugh.  I tried to keep it to what I remember being on the charts, or what they played live, but there are some of my favorites, which I'm sure you'll disagree with.  Please give me your thoughts.  Any ideas for cover art?

I think there is a Bootleg album called 'The Green Album',
i found it on Bootleg Zone.com. It comprises most of the songs that
were just b-sides or album tracks.  A nice fit to go with the Red & Blue albums!



HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WHITE ALBUM! you say its your birthday!

I like your songs/Play list. But is Mauve a real color, what is it closest to? Teal?

"Mauve on over, I'm travelin' on that line".

"Teal There Was You".


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

I would think you could fit more tracks than that.  And, if it is possible, I would include these songs:

(in no particular order):

01) Maxwell's Silver Hammer
02) Tell Me What You See
03) Its Only Love
04) Piggies
05) Sexy Sadie
06) You Like Me Too Much
07) When I'm Sixty Four
0 What You're Doing
09) Its All Too Much
10) I'm Looking Through You
11) For No One
12) And Your Bird Can Sing

Yeah, I can see the "Green Album" fitting in as a third in a triology that never happened (one can only dream)
(..but I must draw the line at a "The Chartreuse Album" ... )

2) Till There Was You
3) I Dont Want To Spoil The Party
4)You're Gonna Lose That Girl

1)What You're Doing
2) I'll follow The Sun

2) Not A Second Time

1)I'm Down
2) Tell Me What You See
3)And I Love Her
4)We Can Work It Out

-----------my fictional "Green" album (Part 2) :

Side 1)
1)Anna
2) Michelle
3) Julia

6)Something

Side 3)
