* All Songs written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney unless stated.
None of these tracks have previously been released, however most have been released in their completed form or a different take, so the only songs I have left (in white) are songs that have never been released in any form previously.Although this series was a historical goldmine, it still comes across as very messy, and would have made a much better single album. (It later was released as 'Anthology Highlights'.
