Description
An award-winning music author takes a serious look at a playful question of pop history: what if the Beatles had created one more album?

This is the story of the great lost Beatles album.

The end of the Beatles wasn't inevitable. It came through miscommunication, misunderstandings and missed opportunities to reconcile.

But what if it didn't end? What if just one of those chances was taken, and the Beatles carried on? What if they made one last, great album?

In The Lost Album of The Beatles, Daniel Rachel - winner of the prestigious Penderyn Music Book Prize - looks at what could have been. Drawing on impeccable research, Rachel examines the Fab Four's untimely demise - and from the ashes compiles a track list for an imagined final album, pulling together unfinished demos, forgotten B-sides, hit solo songs, and arguing that together they form the basis of a lost Beatles masterpiece.

Compelling and convincing, The Lost Album of The Beatles is a daring re-write of Beatles history, and a tantalizing glimpse of what might have been.

I remember a similar book called Paperback Writer by Mark Shipper. His story didn't end well for the mythical reunion.

I read that, (and still have it somewhere around here.) it was hilarious.
Not REALLY a similar book, though!

No, I guess not. I was just seeing the part about hypothetical album and didn't catch that it would be based on previously recorded material. And yes, the book was hilarious. I need to dig it out and see how it holds up.

Didn't someone here (IP, maybe) put together a list of songs for an album like that several years ago? Maybe I read it on another site. I also recall reading George Martin's sequencing of the White Album so it's a single LP around that same time.
