“Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” could also have been included. I remember hearing it on the radio when it was first released , thinking it was some lost Beatles track, then finding out it was just Paul.
@@unagjac890 Yes, but technically it was material recorded the year before and cobbled together by Phil Spector. Abbey Road was their last recorded album
I absolutely loved the the album concept! I've been sharing the good news of your channel. I was very surprised that it ISN'T the same old rehashed stuff. LOVIN' IT!
It would be nice to hear Beware Of Darkness with George singing the first verse, John singing the second verse, Paul singing the third verse and all three singing the last verse in three part harmony. It Don't Come Easy would have been so great with John, Paul and George doing those background vocals!
Brilliant concept I really enjoyed your take on the situation, your level of detail in the research on all your Beatles vids are precise and well constructed good work
I love Let it Down, and Beware of Darkness is just perfection. I had just turned nine years old when All Things Must Pass came out, such a fantastic album!
I love the design of the album. Such a cool idea. Overall good set list. I especially like that you put Hold On and Love on there. Great songs that aren’t as well known. My only additions would be Junk, Teddy Boy, Mother, and Working Class Hero.
Thanks! I just uploaded my podcast with this full album and I tried to make the songs flow by crossfading them which worked pretty well: www.podomatic.com/podcasts/popgoesthe60s/episodes/2020-07-05T18_19_48-07_00 More to come!
@@popgoesthe60s52 I think The Beatles could've put out a triple album as George did, they had the clout, so in my fantasy '70 album there'd be more, including 'Try Some, Buy Some'!! haha
Mother is one of my fav John Lennon songs, hard to imagine the band playing that. Same for working class hero. I wish I could do the screams on mother.
Love your channel bro just found it! Born in 89 but cant get enough of the beatles and their solo work too, i get sad when i think of all the amazing music they could have continued to make together, but its amazing the volume of work they released in such a short time. These guys were MACHINES
The film Get Back reveals this. There are songs from John, Paul and George that they tried out during those sessions in Jan/Feb of 1969 that ended up on their solo albums. They also present some songs that ended up on Abbey Road like Golden Slumbers.
Love the cover concept. I was holding you would throw “Come and Get It” into the first four tracks and maybe Paul’s “Goodbye” somewhere before “All Things Must Pass”.
They got so many great songs as solo artists, that in the "right" order, they would have made perfect albums had they continued as a band... Yours was a great selection for a beatles 70 first record... Awesome work
Good lineup! Enjoyed the video. I had always thought that Another Day was kind of a kiss off to the Beatles. I didn’t realize the Beatles had rehearsed it. I’ve always thought McCartney’s 1985 would’ve been a good Beatles song. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to watching more.
I see the Left Bank in your album collection. That is the very first album I ever had. My dad brought it home from a trip when he was traveling for business. Don’t Walk Away Renee! Pretty Ballerina. Classic
I don't have Spotify, so I just listened to a DIY version of this album here on UA-cam, and I really can't see these songs meshing into a cohesive work. At least not in their current states - obviously production and arrangements and so on would be completely different in this alternate history - but each writer gives their songs such a consistent tone here that clashes so much with the others'. John's raw, indie sincerity; George's stuff that is hallowed and reserved but with a deep intensity (can you tell ATMP is one of my favourite albums); Paul's playful musicality; Ringo just being Ringo (gotta love him). I feel like they absolutely needed the chance to make their own unalloyed statements before ever beatling again. In my ideal world that would be in 71 or 72, with Billy Preston as a full member - but hey, none of that matters, does it. I'm glad they did what they did. Anyway, good job putting together something that works as well as it does, considering all _that!_
Hi Matt. I came over from Larry Graves "Canadian Studmuffin" channel through a link you left me on one of my comments. Really impressive work. Just subbed to your channel. You deserve way more subs!
The movie Boyhood by Richard Linklater and with Ethan Hawke introduced the idea of a “Black” album that would be the greatest hits by individual Beatles, but different in that the songs would be their solo efforts. Anyway, great fun. Thx!!
What a great idea for a video! That "album" really stirs my imagination. If it had existed in 1970, it would probably have stood alongside Abbey Road and Pepper as their best.
Thank you for the comment. I may offer some of these jackets when I develop a membership subscription. These Albums That Never Were are expensive to print and a pain in the ass to assemble so I’ll have to figure out a way to best offer them. Stay tuned!
I took a different tact, decided they boys needed some time apart from each other so they each took a year off to release solo albums then got back together to make an album. Paul would have released "McCartney", John "Plastic Ono Band" and George a 1 disc "All Things Must Pass". They'd have held back some singles and used tracks that ended up on "Imagine" and "Ram".
Great cover and song collection. I can't think of any improvements. Now if only we could go back in time and get them into the studio to record these songs together. Then we'd really be rocking.
Hi Matt: I seem to have come across this video a bit late. It's a great idea though - I have seen other things posted doing much the same but the choices you make seem much more sense and a definite "flow". "Cold Turkey" as the closer is a masterstroke. It has always been one of my very favorite songs since I first heard it. D
People think that Cold Turkey would never have been a Beatles song but I disagree. How about a late 1969 single Maybe I'm Amazed / Cold Turkey? Thanks for commenting, David.
Really enjoyed this, will make a playlist of these exact songs. I would have included “ working class man “ with the F word & “ Junk” and ended with “Give peace a chance “ !
Thankyou! I plan to have some artwork available in the future, possibly with a Pop Goes the 60s website. There are more _Albums That Never Were_ to come so stay tuned!
Pretty good list. I watched a few of these videos now & keep wondering why no one has Paul's "Come & Get It" on their lists? Although not on an album, it was written & recorded in 1969 before they broke up as a demo for Badfinger & is an absolutely amazing song that has a huge Beatles vibe. Anyone care to add your 2 cents?
I think the simple reason is that Paul didn't write "Come And Get It" for the Beatles, he wrote it for Badfinger. Just as he wrote "Step Inside Love" for Cilla and "Goodbye" for Mary Hopkin around the same time.
These are just prototypes I've created. I may add a tiered subscription to this channel and I would have to figure out a way to raffle some off. It's unfortunate that they are so expensive to make.
I love doing stuff like this as well, great track lineup. Was waiting for All Things Must Pass to show up lol, I would've loved to see a proper release of that song by the full band.
I listened to the whole album on your podcast. Wow... just awesome. A real revelation to hear these songs like this. I had never heard the Harrison song Let it Down. So great. Somehow I can't imagine Paul would have been a fan of Cold Turkey. I could be wrong though. It's pretty gut wrenching.
When I think of _Cold Turkey_ as a Beatles song, I think Paul's contribution to be like what he added to _I Want You (She's So Heavy)_ . We can dream, right! Thanks for listening to the podcast!
@@popgoesthe60s52 What if they toured on this record? (LOL) PAUL: Now we'd like to carry on with a song that's on our new LP. A song that might be a bit much.... RINGO: Little Donnie and Marie fans... PAUL: It was written by John after he'd caught a nasty case of diarrhea after eating some turkey over the Thanksgiving holiday, which we don't have here, he was in America... Then John cuts him off and barrels in with that guitar riff.
What if... Paul McCartney contributed to Ringo's Album "Ringo". I think this was the closest we ever got to have a Beatles Reunion. Great take on the Album cover.
My personal list for a 1970 album: (side 1) 1. What Is Life 2. Cold Turkey 3. Every Night 4. It Don't Come Easy 5. Teddy Boy 6. All Things Must Pass (side 2) 1. Instant Karma! 2. Art Of Dying 3. Back Seat Of My Car (recorded in '71 but written in '69) 4. Love 5. Awaiting On You All 6. Maybe I'm Amazed
What would be really interesting would be a 3rd party re-recording those song as if the Beatles were recording them, making in some places different musical choices.
I won't argue with your choices or the order (though maybe "All Things Must Pass" could be a closer). All great songs. Off the top of my head: SIDE A Instant Karma It Don’t Come Easy Another Day Hold On Man We Was Lonely Isn’t it A Pity SIDE B Early 1970 I Found Out (I could replace this with "Gimmie Some Truth" which was worked on with Beatles but I guess since it's from1971 - no dice). Apple Scruffs Every Night Love I Dig Love Maybe I'm Amazed
@@popgoesthe60s52 Yeah, there is a lot to choose from! Great mock up albums with all four of them from 71-74. Then it gets a little scattered as Lennon did less and less until 1980.
I find it very interesting how everyone chooses differently for what the track listing of such an album would've been. I probably wouldn't have thought too much about which were rehearsed and all, just which I preferred by the four. It's interesting how they'd decided to have four by each of the songwriters though. Never knew that, but it's nice to keep learning new things about my favorite band of all time.
John Lennon suggested fans tape the solo albums to make a compilation album if they wanted the Beatles to get back together again. Actually, we all got 4 times the music out through the solo careers when you think of it. He said that too.
I really love your videos. I got a question though: You are intimating here that George maybe helped w/ a little bit of the lyrics for It Don't Come Easy. I know that Ringo is credited as the writer, but I always thought that George basically wrote this song himself w/ maybe Ringo doing some of the lyrics. Like it was a gift to give to Ringo. I say this because of the bootleg that has George singing the entire song himself as a guide for Ringo. Of course, I could be wrong w/ thinking that. Thoughts?
That is a myth. When the bootleg of George singing lead surfaced, the common thought was that "George basically wrote the song and gifted it to Ringo." He obviously played on it and produced it, but Ringo has corrected this wrong assumption in a couple of interviews saying George only helped him with a small portion of the writing. I made the mistake as well until I heard Ringo give some details.
Hi Matt, I have really enjoyed your segments on Albums that never were especially this one and the next one- Last Album, So after viewing this video last year Ive been seriously researching and having fun at the same time on what could have been this Album that The Beatles never released or as some "lost album", This album would have been released around the fall of 1970 or early 1971.In reality some of these songs were rehearsed during the Let it Be sessions or written in India and before officially breaking up. So here's the list of songs of The Beatles Lost (Double!!!) Album titled:The Beatles Jubilee(the original title of Paul's song Junk) 1.Come and Get it(Paul)*Had Paul not given it to Badfinger* 2.Early 1970(Ringo)*According to information in the book by Tom Doyle-Man on the Run, and Wikipedia it has John,George and Ringo in this recording and with a ploy by Allen Klein and John to lure Paul to also involve himself in this recording as The Beatles to undermine Paul's legal actions against Klein and the other three Beatles* 3.Hot as Sun(Paul) 4.Id Have You Anytime(George) 5.Suicide (Paul)*rejected by Frank Sinatra*6.Oh Yoko(John) 7.Woke Up this Morning(Paul) 8.The Art of Dying(George) 9.Long Lost John(John)*a song by Lonnie Donegan and performed by The Quarrymen* 10.Teddy Boy(Paul) 11.Behind That Locked Door(George) 12.Look at me(John) 13.Everynight(Paul) 14.Jealous Guy(John)*AKA Child of Nature* 15.Another Day(Paul) 16.It Dont Come Easy( Ringo)*Original title: You Gotta Pay Your Dues*17.Let it Down(George) 18.Gimme Some Truth(John) 19.Wah Wah(George) 20.Back Seat of my Car(Paul) 21.All Things Must Pass(George) 22.Junk(Paul) 23. Oh My Love(John) 24.Isnt it a Pity(George) 25.Maybe Im Amazed(Paul) *written in late 1969* 26.Run of the Mill(George) 27.Mind Games(John)*Original title:Make Love Not War* 28.Goodbye(Paul)*Previously recorded by Mary Hopkins* -And as a Single Beatles 45 (released circa mid 1970 or late 1970) A Side: Cold Turkey(John) B Side: Not Guilty(George)
Hey Ernie! You did some very solid work here and what way they could've gone out - with a double album! I never thought of that. Thanks for taking the time to make your tracklisting!
I did something similar last year, except I used their solo albums. There was enough material in their 1970 albums for 2 discs, but this could've been a strong single disc album using the 4+4+4+2 format. I'd say it is better than Abbey Road. I let John open it and Paul close it. Ringo's songs were actually released in 1971, but I think they were recorded in 1970. Close enough. Ditto for Another Day. Mother - John Another Day - Paul My Sweet Lord - George It Don't Come Easy - Ringo Ooh You - Paul Look at Me - John Isn't It a Pity - George Isolation - John Every Night - Paul Wah-Wah - George Early 1970 - Ringo What Is Life - George God - John Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul
LOVE your Ventures LP display behind you! You do great Beatles research videos, Matt!! Have you ever thought of researching the DC5 and the Bobbie Graham connection as well as DC5 vs Beatles?
Damn your show is so enjoyable Matt. I really appreciate your artistic skills as well as your astute opinions. I could chat with you about these subjects for hours. And that's what it be. Hours! We're on the same page about all of this, which is one of the reasons I find your programs so gratifying.
I ghostwrote most of Cloud 9 and all of vol 1 Trav Wilburys ,April 1987.It was a way to give Roy Orbison his comeback with albums I ghostwrote Mystery Girl &King of Hearts.
“Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” could also have been included. I remember hearing it on the radio when it was first released , thinking it was some lost Beatles track, then finding out it was just Paul.
Ha...for quite a while I thought it WAS a Beatles song...
@@ridethelapras Recorded in Nov 1970, released in 1971.
It's a masterpiece!
Yes, Paul and Linda's first, from the album 'Ram'.
Agreed.
I always thought they should of taken a year off and then release a double album in 1971.
Let it Be was released in 1970 anyway
@@unagjac890 Yes, but technically it was material recorded the year before and cobbled together by Phil Spector. Abbey Road was their last recorded album
I agree, they could’ve taken a year off, gotten their solo stuff out, then reconvened and started fresh
John was done with being in a band
great idea, see my triple. 10 more songs than the white album.. they fit on 6 sides
I like to imagine them all implementing Paul’s home recording techniques and recording a lofi album on their own away from execs, camera crews, etc

This is great. I’m definitely going to listen to the playlist in Spotify. 🤟🏽
Great idea. I love your song selection and its sleeve and liner notes!
Apple Scruffs would definitely work as a Beatles track- especially with John on harmonica & Paul on harmonies!
Just took a listen to see if I agree, and I do! What do you think of Beware of Darkness?
Great list!! In my alternate world; It Don’t Come Easy, Instant Karma, All Things Must Pass, Another Day and Every Night are all Beatles song. 👍
I agree. I think all of Ringos hits UNTIL the No No song were Beatles songs.

It Don’t Come Easy
Another Day
Hold On
Man We Was Lonely
Isn’t it A Pity

Early 1970
I Found Out (I could replace this with "Gimmie Some Truth" which was worked on with Beatles but I guess since it's from1971 - no dice).

Gimme Some Truth was being worked on by the Beatles in 1969 so it's a legitimate choice: I would put it in.
I find it very interesting how everyone chooses differently for what the track listing of such an album would've been. I probably wouldn't have thought too much about which were rehearsed and all, just which I preferred by the four.
It's interesting how they'd decided to have four by each of the songwriters though. Never knew that, but it's nice to keep learning new things about my favorite band of all time.
John Lennon suggested fans tape the solo albums to make a compilation album if they wanted the Beatles to get back together again. Actually, we all got 4 times the music out through the solo careers when you think of it. He said that too.
I really love your videos. I got a question though: You are intimating here that George maybe helped w/ a little bit of the lyrics for It Don't Come Easy. I know that Ringo is credited as the writer, but I always thought that George basically wrote this song himself w/ maybe Ringo doing some of the lyrics. Like it was a gift to give to Ringo. I say this because of the bootleg that has George singing the entire song himself as a guide for Ringo. Of course, I could be wrong w/ thinking that. Thoughts?
That is a myth. When the bootleg of George singing lead surfaced, the common thought was that "George basically wrote the song and gifted it to Ringo." He obviously played on it and produced it, but Ringo has corrected this wrong assumption in a couple of interviews saying George only helped him with a small portion of the writing. I made the mistake as well until I heard Ringo give some details.
@@popgoesthe60s52 Ah ok. Thank you for clearing that up. I just made an assumption. Keep up the good work!
love it 👍
Hi Matt, I have really enjoyed your segments on Albums that never were especially this one and the next one- Last Album, So after viewing this video last year Ive been seriously researching and having fun at the same time on what could have been this Album that The Beatles never released or as some "lost album", This album would have been released around the fall of 1970 or early 1971.In reality some of these songs were rehearsed during the Let it Be sessions or written in India and before officially breaking up. So here's the list of songs of The Beatles Lost (Double!!!) Album titled:The Beatles Jubilee(the original title of Paul's song Junk) 1.Come and Get it(Paul)*Had Paul not given it to Badfinger* 2.Early 1970(Ringo)*According to information in the book by Tom Doyle-Man on the Run, and Wikipedia it has John,George and Ringo in this recording and with a ploy by Allen Klein and John to lure Paul to also involve himself in this recording as The Beatles to undermine Paul's legal actions against Klein and the other three Beatles* 3.Hot as Sun(Paul) 4.Id Have You Anytime(George) 5.Suicide (Paul)*rejected by Frank Sinatra*6.Oh Yoko(John) 7.Woke Up this Morning(Paul) 8.The Art of Dying(George) 9.Long Lost John(John)*a song by Lonnie Donegan and performed by The Quarrymen* 10.Teddy Boy(Paul) 11.Behind That Locked Door(George) 12.Look at me(John) 13.Everynight(Paul) 14.Jealous Guy(John)*AKA Child of Nature* 15.Another Day(Paul) 16.It Dont Come Easy( Ringo)*Original title: You Gotta Pay Your Dues*17.Let it Down(George) 18.Gimme Some Truth(John) 19.Wah Wah(George) 20.Back Seat of my Car(Paul) 21.All Things Must Pass(George) 22.Junk(Paul) 23. Oh My Love(John) 24.Isnt it a Pity(George) 25.Maybe Im Amazed(Paul) *written in late 1969* 26.Run of the Mill(George) 27.Mind Games(John)*Original title:Make Love Not War* 28.Goodbye(Paul)*Previously recorded by Mary Hopkins* -And as a Single Beatles 45 (released circa mid 1970 or late 1970) A Side: Cold Turkey(John) B Side: Not Guilty(George)
Hey Ernie! You did some very solid work here and what way they could've gone out - with a double album! I never thought of that. Thanks for taking the time to make your tracklisting!

I did something similar last year, except I used their solo albums. There was enough material in their 1970 albums for 2 discs, but this could've been a strong single disc album using the 4+4+4+2 format. I'd say it is better than Abbey Road. I let John open it and Paul close it. Ringo's songs were actually released in 1971, but I think they were recorded in 1970. Close enough. Ditto for Another Day.
Mother - John
Another Day - Paul
My Sweet Lord - George
It Don't Come Easy - Ringo
Ooh You - Paul
Look at Me - John
Isn't It a Pity - George
Isolation - John
Every Night - Paul
Wah-Wah - George
Early 1970 - Ringo
What Is Life - George
God - John
Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul
Nice job, Steve. It's almost a Greatest Hits album.

It is listed in the description below the video.
LOVE your Ventures LP display behind you! You do great Beatles research videos, Matt!! Have you ever thought of researching the DC5 and the Bobbie Graham connection as well as DC5 vs Beatles?
I may do a DC5 band history at some point. My list is very long! Thanks for the request.
Nice. I believe G. Harrison co-wrote 'It don't come easy' and even recorded a guide vocal track for Ringo.
Damn your show is so enjoyable Matt. I really appreciate your artistic skills as well as your astute opinions. I could chat with you about these subjects for hours. And that's what it be. Hours! We're on the same page about all of this, which is one of the reasons I find your programs so gratifying.
I appreciate the kind words. I wish I had more time to dedicate to this channel... I can't produce video fast enough!
I ghostwrote most of Cloud 9 and all of vol 1 Trav Wilburys ,April 1987.It was a way to give Roy Orbison his comeback with albums I ghostwrote Mystery Girl &King of Hearts.
Fantastic album choices.
Your Beatles '70 cover design is really cool. If you were selling copies of it I'd buy one.
Thank you! As my channel grows I may be able to offer some as giveaways as part of a membership subscription. Stay tuned!
I've done my own version of this due to the fact there's a lot of overlap with the first solo stuff by them as Beatles.
