The Beatles Red Album (1968)
Mainly inspired by John, who happened to be on acid wile watching the Paris student riots in the summer of '68, this collection was recorded in one night between dusk and dawn, in a "very collective" session (John speaking). Its release was blocked by Yoko Ono, who, being a Jap, doesn't like Chinks.
Main cuts:
Love Mao Do
(Won't You) Please Police Me
The Long and Winding Capitalist Roaders
Happiness Proceeds out of the Barrel of a Warm Gun
Rice Paddies Forever
I Don't Want to Spoil the Party, So I'll Criticize Myself
Paperback Tiger

I knew it was too good to be true.
Please be more careful in the future. You can give a serious (and gullible) Beatles geek a heart attack with subject lines like that.

This has been floating around on the bootleg circuit for a while.

Rabbi Saul (1967)
This album was recorded for the benefit of Queenie Epstein on the occasion of her son Brian's untimely death. The idea was simply to cheer her up after her terrible loss; but not content with being cheered up, Queenie wanted to have the album released, claiming it would make a "pile." When the group refused, she sued, claiming that since they had given her the album, she owned it outright. The court case continued until Allen Klein took over management of the Beatles, at which point Mrs. Epstein inexplicably dropped the suit.
Main cuts:
Hey, Juden
Here Comes My Son, the Doctor
Helter Schmelter
Your Mother Should Only Know
P.S.I.O.U.

Lifting Material From The World (1969)
This album brings out a rather curious side of George Harrison's personality, one which is perhaps related to his obsession with money. George recorded this album in disguise, didn't tell any of the rest of the group about it, tried nonetheless to get it released through Apple, and then lied about everything it involved when the whole sordid business came out.
Main cuts:
My Sweet He's So Fine
My Sweet White Christmas
My Sweet Fair Lady
My Sweet Michelle
Me and My Sweet Bobby McGee
My Sweet Lullaby of Birdland
My Sweet Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
My Sweet Greensleeves
My Sweet Ave Maria

Paul McCartney and Friend (1970)
Not to be outdone by his colleagues, Paul sought to make a statement about his musical roots. The result was Paul McCartney and Friend, a lavish, saccharine, overorchestrated Nelson Riddle production. McCartney blocked he release of the LP when Sinatra dedicated "That's Why the Lady Is a Tramp" to McCartney's wife, Linda.
Main cuts:
I Did It My Way
Theme from the Man with the Golden Arm
A Foggy Day
My Funny Valentine

All of this was stolen out of a National Lampoon magazine from the late seventies.
