[1970-1993] A Collection of Fan-Album Greats - The Beatles

In the past year or so I’ve uploaded so many albums here, but unfortunately I’ve bulldozed some of those playlists with my newer ones, so in order to make it up to you all, here’s a collection of fan-albums that deserve some attention and look overs! (which I previously bulldozed for renovations)

Break Away: 1970

This album was published a bit over a year ago with the main idea that the overbearing Lennon-McCartney duo let George Harrison become a bit more loose by allowing more album runtime.

SIDE A:

  1. My Sweet Lord (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass
  2. Hot As Sun/Glasses • McCartney 1
  3. Los Paranoias [Jam] • White Album Deluxe
  4. Cold Turkey • Non-album Single
  5. Teddy Boy • McCartney 1
  6. Apple Scruffs (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass

SIDE B:

  1. Imagine • Imagine
  2. Isn’t It A Pity [Ver. 2] (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass
  3. Maybe I’m Amazed • McCartney 1
  4. Have I Told You Lately? • Sentimental Journey
  5. Instant Karma! • Non-album Single
  6. All Things Must Pass (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass

Playlist Link: click 1

————————————

Let It Roll (Across the Floor): 1971

This album was a sequel of sorts to Break Away that focused on a more heavy rock sound by the band and a deeper artistic expression. In hindsight it needed more John…

SIDE A:

  1. Plug Me In [Jam] • All Things Must Pass
  2. Eat At Home • RAM
  3. I Found Out • Plastic Ono Band
  4. Wah-Wah (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass
  5. Monkberry Moon Delight • RAM
  6. It Don’t Come Easy • Concert For Bangladesh

SIDE B:

  1. Uncle Albert/Admiral Hasley • RAM
  2. Smile Away • RAM
  3. Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass
  4. Well Well Well • Plastic Ono Band
  5. Down & Out • Ringo (1973)
  6. I Don’t Wanna Be A Solider • Imagine

Playlist Link: click 2

————————————

RAM: 1971

My own take on an Imagine/RAM thing that isn’t connected to any other of the albums, just a fun goof. It’s also just okay…

SIDE A:

  1. Cosmic Empire (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass 50th Deluxe
  2. God Save Us • Imagine Deluxe
  3. Ram On • RAM
  4. Dear Boy • RAM
  5. How? • Imagine
  6. Crippled Inside • Imagine

SIDE B:

  1. Have I Told You Lately? • Sentimental Journey
  2. What Is Life? (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass
  3. Gimme Some Truth • Imagine
    4 Wah-Wah (Harrison) • All Things Must Pass
  4. Ram On [Reprise] • RAM
  5. Smile Away • RAM
  6. Tomorrow • Wild Life

WiLD: 1973 (?)

WiLD is also its own thing with the basic idea of jam style tracks being the bread and butter of it all (lazy idea I know). I would put the track listing for this album on here, but it’s really long so the back cover will be provided instead.

————————————

Band On The Run: 1973

Ah yes, the Band On The Run that every other person and their mother has made. The basic idea is that McCartney wants to branch off as his own writer which John is fine with considering how good those compositions are, but he still wants the Beatles to help transport those ideas.

SIDE A:

  1. Band On The Run • Band On The Run
  2. Tight A$ • Mind Games
  3. I’m The Greatest • Ringo (1973)
  4. Living In The Material World (Harrison) • Living In 5. The Material World
  5. New York City • Sometime In New York City

SIDE B:

  1. Oh My My • Ringo (1973)
  2. Don’t Let Me Wait Too Long (Harrison) • Living In The Material World
  3. Let Me Roll It • Band On The Run
  4. Meat City • Mind Games
  5. 1985 • Band On The Run
  6. Helen Wheels • Non-album Single

Parody!: 1975 (?)

Parody! is easily one of my sloppiest albums I’ve made, but you just gotta love it. It’s my attempt at Crackerbox Palace but with a smaller understanding of their solo career (as seen with the lack of Ringo). Also Bob Dylan is here for some reason.

SIDE A:

  1. Silly Love Songs • Speed Of Sound
  2. Letting Go • Venus & Mars
  3. Tangled Up In Blue [Live] • Bootleg Vol. 5
  4. Whatever Gets You Through The Night • Walls & Bridges
  5. Crackerbox Palace (Harrison) • 33 & 1/3

SIDE B:

  1. Snookeroo • Goodnight Vienna
  2. Magneto & Titanium Man • Venus & Mars
    3 This Song (Harrison) • 33 & 1/3
  3. Beef Jerky • Walls & Bridges
  4. The Pirate Song (Harrison) • ???

Playlist Link: click 6

———————————-

Free As A Bird: 1978 (?)

This album has no true background to it, there was just a hole in my heart that wanted a 1978 album without any research into it (ahh good times).

SIDE A:

  1. Whatever Gets You Through The Night • Walls & Bridges
  2. Free As A Bird • Anthology 1
  3. Crackerbox Palace (Harrison) • 33 & 1/3
  4. Bless You • Walls & Bridges
  5. Heart On My Sleeve • Bad Boy (sorry anyone without that Ringo album)

SIDE B:

  1. Backwards Traveller/Cuff Link • London Town
  2. Real Love • Anthology 2
  3. This Song (Harrison) • 33 & 1/3
  4. No. 9 Dream • Walls & Bridges
  5. Famous Groupies • London Town
  6. Mull Of Kintyre • Non-album Single

(Just Like) Starting Over: 1980

Much like Band On The Run, this concept has been done to death, but it was relatively fresh when I made this album roughly a year ago. The boys are back in the studios!

SIDE A:

  1. Just Like Starting Over • Double Fantasy
  2. Coming Up [Live] • The 7” Singles
  3. Temporary Secretary • McCartney 2
  4. Faster (Harrison) • George Harrison
  5. Stop & Smell The Roses • Stop & Smell The Roses
  6. Blow Away (Harrison) • George Harrison
  7. On The Way • McCartney 2

SIDE B:

  1. Watching The Wheels • Double Fantasy (Stripped Down)
  2. Wrack My Brain • Stop & Smell The Roses
  3. Love Comes To Everyone (Harrison) • George Harrison
  4. Woman • Double Fantasy
  5. Dark Sweet Lady (Harrison) • George Harrison
  6. Grow Old With Me • Lennon Anthology
  7. Summer Day’s Song • McCartney 2

Long Gone: 1993 (?)

My attempt at an Anthology era album remembering John Lennon after his death in December of 1980.
