New album for this whole timeline I created! A little backstory for the album because for some reason I thought of one:

Right after the end of the "Let It Be" and "Abbey Road" sessions, the Beatles decided to end the group indefinitely, each going their own way to try something new.

While Paul lived life on his farm, John, George, and Ringo got together in the studio for a Lennon solo project, until Ringo called Paul during one of the sessions:

*Ringo calls Paul*

P - Hello?

R - Paul? It's Starkey here.

P - Oh! Yes, hello Rich, how are things?

R - Yes, everything's going well... I'm in the studio with John and George.

P - Great, tell them I sent my regards... I'm going to hang up, Rich.

R - Wait, Paul! Well, we need you... can you come?

P - Well... I'm not sure about that...

R - Please, Paul...

P - ...Where are you guys? At Abbey Road?

R - No, at John's house.

P - Okay... I'll see if I can go...

*Paul hangs up*

After about two hours, Paul arrives at John's house, enters, takes off his shoes, and sees John in the kitchen filling a glass with water.

J - Oh, hello Paul, how are you?

P - Hello John...

J - Let's go to the studio, the guys are waiting there...

P - Sure...

For the first 20 minutes, it's a very strange conversation, few words, an uncomfortable silence, until they manage to have a normal conversation. Paul shows the others what he's been working on, which incredibly resembles the new material of the other three, to the point that they decide to work together again, or at least try...

In the end, the sessions turn out to be rather calm, to the point that at the end of the year they decide to release a simple album with the material from the sessions. The album is called "Isolation" because of the band's situation before returning to the studio, and it was released on December 4, 1970.

In an interview with newspapers at the time, John said, "My song is about that, the time we spent alone, away from everything and everyone. I wrote it after we decided on the album's name, which is rare; I've never written a song with a fixed theme in mind, if I did, I don't remember..."

Yay! I love Let It Be, it's a very underrated album. It's so great, full of amazing songs, but the original tracklist only makes it "the Beatles' last album," when it deserved so much more. So I remade it and put it together in my alternate timeline! I hope you like it :)

By the way, I think they should stop making so many albums with black covers lol, the next ones will be more colorful and vibrant, including the next one, Wild Life!

After the success of London Town in 1979, The Beatles took another short break before getting back to work in the fall of 1980. The sessions were a breeze and, for the most part, drama free. There was some while promoting the record, however.

In early December 1980, John was in NYC appearing on local radio shows. Afterwards, he and Yoko decided to go out to eat instead of returning to their part time home at the Dakota. It was later revealed that police had apprehended a man that was lingering in front of the building with a firearm. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

Somewhere In England was released in the spring of 1981.

Hey! This is the second part of my “The Beatles In The 70s” series, where I’ll be imagining the band’s career if they didn’t break up. Here it is:

Ram (1971):

After the double-album “Friar Park”, The Beatles had sometime to rest. John stayed some time with Yoko in New York, while Paul stayed with Linda at their farm in Scotland. George stayed at Friar Park, gardening. Ringo stayed with his family in his mansion near London.

Paul, while resting, began to organize a studio, called Rude Studio. He called the others and called them to come to his farm in Scotland, they’d make a new album.

When Lennon, Harrison and Starr arrived, the Fab Four started working, writing and recording. They used everything in the studio and the album was done in less than a month.

Going back to London, the boys went to Abbey Road, to master and mix the album. The front cover photo was shot by Linda McCartney at the farm and the back cover had drawings by the boys and an early picture of them by Astrid Kircherr.

Before the release, two singles were released: “Imagine/Too Many People” (Released July 20th. Reached no. 1 in the UK and the USA) and “It Don’t Come Easy/Jealous Guy” (Released August 15th. Reached no. 1 in the UK and no. 3 in the USA).

The album was released August 30th and was an a great hit, although a bit criticised by some critics for being a nit different from others, specially Paul’s songs. It was adored by fans and made it to the top spot in the charts in several countries!

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.

SIDE A:

1. Drive My Car - Rubber Soul
2. Another Girl - Help!
3. If You Got Trouble [Tk 1] - Anthology 2
4. You Like Me Too Much (Harrison) - Help!
5. The Night Before - Help!
6. Run For Your Life - Rubber Soul
7. Ticket to Ride - Help!

SIDE B:

1. Help! - Help!
2. Day Tripper - Non-album Single
3. If I Needed Someone (Harrison) - Rubber Soul
4. That Means A Lot [Tk 1] - Anthology 2
5. I Need You (Harrison) - Help!
6. You’re Gonna Lose That Girl - Help!
7. I’m Down - Non-album Single

This album spawned the 5 singles; Ticket to Ride, Drive My Car, I’m Down, Day Tripper & I Need You.

During The Beatles' penultimate interview on 9 September 1969, John suggested that future releases have 4 songs each from John, Paul, and George and up to 2 Ringo songs.

While many have speculated what their later work would've looked like using this formula, I haven't heard anyone ask "What if they did this from the start?"

For this fan album, I used a combination of songwriting credits and lead vocal credits to create a 4/4/4/2 With The Beatles.

The first 4 songs are left as is but after that, I replaced Little Child with Matchbox, since both songs are short rock and roll numbers and Little Child was intended for Ringo, so why not replace it with a Ringo song.

After Till There Was You, Please Mister Postman is replaced with Devil In Her Heart, since both songs are girl group covers.

Then, I resequenced side B based on the US albums, with I'll Be On My Way filling in for both Thank You Girl and Devil In Her Heart, and ending with Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby.

Side A:

It Won't Be Long (Lennon)

All I've Got To Do (Lennon)

All My Loving (McCartney)

Don't Bother Me (Harrison)

Matchbox (Starr)

Till There Was You (McCartney)

Devil In Her Heart (Harrison)

Side B:

Roll Over Beethoven (Harrison)

I'll Be On My Way (McCartney)

Money (That's What I Want) (Lennon)

Hold Me Tight (McCartney)

I Wanna Be Your Man (Starr)

Not A Second Time (Lennon)
