I've actually done it! I've made a single album CD, so I don't have to be bothered by Wild Honey Pie, Don't Pass Me By, etc.

This is the track listing on my CD:

1. Revolution [the single version, B-side of Hey Jude - it counts!!]
2. Dear Prudence
3. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
4. Mother Nature's Son
5. Sexy Sadie
6. Martha My Dear
7. Happiness Is A Warm Gun
8. Long Long Long
9. Julia
10. Blackbird
11. Cry Baby Cry
12. Revolution 9

I wonder how many would list Revolution 9? Personally, I've always liked it, but it would have to go at the end, as it would be too big an interruption between the other songs. Also, I like the way it bookends my own version with Revolution as track 1.

To make it up to 16 I would add in Back in the USSR, I Will, Savoy Truffle, I'm So Tired.

Don't think my list would fit on just one disc it's quicker to list the ones I wouldn't include which are:

Revolution 9
Savoy truffle
Blackbird
Why don't we do it in the road
Birthday

I think I'd end up with just a shorter double album !

You'd keep Honey Pie over Blackbird?
