Sir George Martin cutting The Beatles down to a single album

[Textual_Assault]

In 1968 The Beatles released The Beatles also known as The White Album. It was a double album and George Martin was a bit nonplussed about that, as much as a gentleman such as he could be. he said in the Anthology miniseries that he tried to get the Fabs to cut it down to a single a,bum but they refused. I’m sure he had his own track listing and what what he would have kept and cut, but as far as I know that list has never seen the light of day, or has it? If so what would Martin’s White Album have been?

More sex, a lot more blood, but it wouldn’t have come out until roughly 2003… Oh different George Martin… my bad, my bad…
