Ob-La-De, Ob-La-Da/Don't Pass Me By

Back In The USSR/Blackbird


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I'd go with that. Poor John - just not cutting the mustard.
Although the album is full of great songs, I think these are the only two a-side candidates. WMGGW is too ploddy and lacks a decent hook.

Maybe While My Guitar Gently Weeps is the best track on the album. But URSS and Obladi are the most commercial for sure. I suppose Obladi could be an easy #1 but maybe a too stupid single. I mean... we have Yellow Submarine already so...  
I suppose, in fact, the best track for being released as a single could be Back In The U.S.S.R.

(...but I guess I already voted for Guitar, I'm just confused!   )

Most folks in my part of the world at the time (west coast, USA) considered 'WMGGW' the best track on the album, I believe, with 'BITUSSR' running a close second. Released singles or not, they both got the lion's share of FM airplay. For all intents and purposes, they were the singles.

We all seemed to be choosing the same kind of songs for singles,
what about SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

Dear Prudence / Savory Truffle

Although Dear Prudence is my fave song of the album I didn't consider it as a signle, but why not?

Dear Prudence was a UK  # 3 hit for Souxsie and The Banshes in 1983. Think it would have made a good single
