Years ago, I heard a Lennon interview where he said that on the last few albums it was like each member was doing solo material and the rest of the band was his back up band, so, if those that are distraught over The Beatles' break-up want more Beatles albums, all they have to do is take a few songs from each of their solo albums and compile their own "new Beatles" albums. So, I at least got as far as doing that on paper, starting with the first one to release a solo, then the next, etc. (George, John, Paul, Ringo), and, keeping all the songs in the original order they appeared on the solo albums, and making each set last the length of an album, it made an interesting prospective!! So far, I have never gotten around to actually compiling such albums, but, maybe someday.

There was a pretty standard formula for Beatles albums. It wasn't absolute in every case, but usually applies - and that's two George tracks, one Ringo vocal, and the rest between John and Paul. So if I were compiling an imaginary Beatles album, that's what I'd do, to make it more 'real'.
