Beatles 1971: the LP after "Let It Be"
A hypothetical track list below. The band was rarely collaborating near the end, so a 1971 LP would’ve been material from the solo albums from 1970-71.
Side One:
- Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
- Instant Karma
- Imagine
- What Is Life
- Working Class Hero
- Beware of Darkness
Side Two:
7. My Sweet Lord (with changes)
8. Gimme Some Truth
9. Ram On
10. Maybe I’m Amazed
11. Oh Yoko
12. Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
13. Back Seat of My Car
Side One: Paul’s terrific opener “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey”, with John’s backing vocals. Then John’s “Instant Karma” with a gapless progression to “Imagine”. During “Working Class Hero”, maybe Paul drops in a catchy, bittersweet middle, like he did for “A Day in the Life”.
Side Two: Hopefully John or Paul steps in on George’s “My Sweet Lord” (e.g., “Let’s change this a bit, love…so we don’t get sued”). Then Paul’s “Ram On” with a gapless progression to “Maybe I’m Amazed”. George has four songs on this LP—he’s hitting his artistic peak. Feel free to contribute your own track list.
