Welcome to the next in the series of Challenges:

                                      THE ALTERNATIVE TITLES CHALLENGE

 

Some of the well-known Beatles`s songs began with different "working titles"; some UK albums initially had different suggested titles; some UK albums were released in other countries with different titles.

The Challenge is can you identify which alternative title refers to which song, UK album, or UK album released in another country?

Below, in three separate posts, are the alternative titles to:

40 SONGS; 13 UK ALBUMS; and 15 UK ALBUMS released in other countries.

 

Hint: some ALBUMS, released in the UK, had more than one suggested title.

 

RULES: please no googling, wiki, website, social media searches for the answers

You may post one answer from one catagory - Songs; or UK Albums; or UK Albums in other country - in each post but not one from each catagory. You may only post one entry per day.

 

Entries should state which catagory, the alternative title, and what it refers to

[for example, using the famous example "scrambled eggs", which is not in the Challenge, would read:

SONG: "scrambled eggs" = Yesterday ]

 

Entries for each day will be open from midnight until 11pm.

The Challenge will not be open until midnight tonight [Sat/Sun 30/31 March 2019].

Results will be announced at 11pm with a list of answers still to be found in each catagory.

SURFINI CON LOS Beatles is actually "SURFIN CON LOS Beatles", sounds like "Surfing with the Beatles"...

 

At a guess, could this be "Please, Please me" again, the Venezuelan version?

Hi guys.

As the six "regulars" have posted their answers for today, Saturday, I thought I`d give you an update on this Challenge - but please note, results for today and the list of answers to be found will not be posted until around 11pm and you can`t submit your next answer until after midnight.

You guys are smashing this Challenge. It has only been running a week and already you have found [not including answers submitted for today, Sat]:

20 of 40 Songs;

  5 of 13 UK albums;

10 of 15 UK albums released in other countries.

 

As with the previous Song Lyrics Challenge, there are some answers which are more difficult, and, as with the previous Challenge, I`ll predict that there are two answers [and I am not saying in which category/categories they are] which I think there is a 75% chance that no-one will get.

OK, you proved me wrong with my previous prediction, can you do it again?

So get your thinking hats on, and of course you can post an answer to any of the remaining ones after midnight.

Good luck and I`ll be interested to see which ones you go for tomorrow [Sun 7 April]

Thank you all for taking part.
