	Break-In Master Member since Dec 2013 250 Points	A long time ago, after the break-up, John Lennon said that if you want more Beatles albums, all you'd have to do is take all their solo records and take 2 or 3 tracks from each member and put them together into a single album. Has anyone else ever bothered to do that? A slightly less longer time ago, I decided to try to do that, at least on paper. So, I'd take one song, in the order they were released, and build entire new albums out of them all (I only got up to about the early `80's, though. Now that I've got a copy of "The Family Way", I'll have to reconstruct the list so, now, Paul would go BEFORE George instead of after John. I would also be inclined to include all of Yoko's stuff (while John was still alive) because he DID play on almost all of it. (I think the track, "Fly" was the only thing she did solo.) Same goes for Linda's "solo" tracks because Paul was on them. Besides, she's only got 2 or 3. I'm in the middle of another project but, as soon as I'm done with it (very possibly tonight), I might start on actually compiling that to see how it'd turn out. Should be interesting! At least through the `70's. I'd guess that, at the end, it'd get kinda boring: one Ringo, one Paul, one Ringo, one Paul.... Then, as Ringo's output was nowhere near as big as Paul's, the last few hours would JUST be Paul!!
