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)
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.

————————————
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…

————————————
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…
Playlist Link: click 3
———————————-
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.

————————————
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.

———————————
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.

———————————-
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).
Playlist Link: click 7
———————————
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!

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

Previous Album: [1966] Rain - The Beatles
Spotify Link: [1967] Nothing is Real - The Beatles
After the previous record Rain was released and highly praised critically and generally, the Beatles seeked out an even more technical studio sound and absurd unique lyrical style. This all comes together in the presented before you.
I hope you lot enjoy this new installment of the series, the album art work was a real pain to come up with so please enjoy this one! Peace+Love ☮️❤️
Previous Album: Only A Green Leaf (1965)
Spotify Link: the click is fine
After the critical acclaim and success of Only A Green Leaf, the Fab Four got back into the studio to focus on the album that would become Rain. Rain strives for the abstract and odd sounds that were gradually growing in the late 1960s.
(All songs from Revolver unless noted otherwise)
I hope this 7th installment pleases and entertains you all despite the slight downgrade in cover art!
Previous Part: 4 Tickets to Ride [1965]
Spotify Link: just take one click man
Backstory: After the predicted success of their last album Four Tickets to Ride, the Beatles used those funds in order to fund this album. They started experimenting with new instruments along with other studio techniques and wizardry. Their songwriting approach grew more mature and folk inspired.
I hope you enjoyed this installment of the series, I tried really hard to live up to the previous cover art so I hope this is a worthy successor!! ☮️&❤️
Previous Part: [1964] Words of Love
Playlist Link: click click, click click yeah!
The covers are inspired by u/Snaknpak ‘s very own One Way Ticket to Ride. Similarities are intentional!
Backstory: After a hectic touring schedule in the previous years, the band was looking for a way out; they released 4 Tickets To Ride in August of 1965 to satisfy fans and to fund their more ambitious works for the next record.
This album spawned the 5 singles; Ticket to Ride, Drive My Car, I’m Down, Day Tripper & I Need You.
Before I get into it, yes this is stolen cover art (everything else is original though).
The Beatles [Paul, George, Ringo] were shocked by the sudden news of John’s untimely demise in December of 1980, this album was made in memory of their fallen friend and brother.
Duration: ~37 minutes
Playlist Link: click me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bonus Track: Nobody Told Me - Milk & Honey
This is gonna be the distraction album I’m putting out while I focus on my finals and other albums from the alternate timeline (you know the one)!! ☮️&❤️
My long since overdue take on the “George Harrison White Album” (I mean seriously, my last one was like half a year ago). This is inspired by many others on this subreddit such as u/mistahwhite04 ‘s Let It Down from I think a month or so ago.
Playlist Link: what a pity (pity pity)
Duration: ~40 Minutes
I hope you guys like my attempt at showing the whole cover(s) with one image or the gatefold (?)
This is the 4th installment of my multi-part series on this subreddit so, if you want to see the last part click here!
Words of Love was recorded during their hectic touring schedule with very little room to write and churn out original material. However, with their lead single I Feel Fine & Eight Days A Week the album soon became a hit (then later despised by fans in the coming decades).
Duration: ~34 minutes
Playlist Link: Words of Love (1964)
(All songs are from** **Beatles For Sale unless noted)
I hope you guys are enjoying this series so far! Also apologies if I’m cranking these out too quick, I was very inspired earlier today (y’know)!!
Previous Album: With the Beatles (1963)
Playlist Link: click me, y’know?!
Duration: ~30 Minutes
This is the third installment of my new series (former installment above) OR in other words, an alternate A Hard Day’s Night (yes I know the cover tracks defeat the purpose, but bare with me)!!
Slow Down showcases the band’s songwriting strengths, with a significant amount of original material and showcases on each of their instruments. The title also refers to the speed of their growing popularity and rabid fans (slow down and try not to maul the Fab Four, please).
(All songs are from A Hard Day’s Night** **unless noted)
Hope you enjoy this third installment of the series, and eagerly awaiting the next one! “SLOW DOWN!”
I like the Harry Nilsson remix album as much as the next guy, but I just wanted to de-mix the entire thing using the original versions of the songs!
