The Early Beatles - gryphon - 08-06-2010
Interesting point CP! ..................Traditionally speaking: it is not a compilation of previous tracks.......but in a way it is a kind of compilation:
At this point in their career, the Beatles were having relational problems............At one point during the White Album, Ringo left the band...........because things became so bad.!!.................Sgt Pepper had opened things up too and the Death of Brian...............The sessions here tended to be more fragmented as regards personal, and there were often two sessions or more going on at the same time....................As a result, you don't always have all four Beatles on each session but further:
Instead you tend to get
John supported by the other three
Paul supported by the other three
Just Paul
Just John and George
George and Eric Clapton
Ringo with George
etc
So I guess, you could say that for a percentage this is a compilation of works by four separate Beatles using the others as session men.
