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.

PS, I will take a 'not so wild guess' that Ciggies, Sarnies and Songs is one of the hardest to find.

Not expecting an answer of course but I've never heard of it!! clown

That makes 2 of us @Cleoriff. I can't even hazard a guess what it might be. Well I could guess but nothing readily springs to mind.

@Cleoriff  and @Glory1 

Yes, "Ciggies, Sarnies And Songs" is one of the two hardest ones to find.

I have the actual story - from the time - as to its origin and why it was rejected.

As to the other "hardest", all I will say is that the "backstory" did not surface until some years after this was replaced.

Sorry @Cleoriff  BEATLEMANIA was not an alternative title for A Hard Day`s Night

 

@pgnhas not posted an answer for today. I hope that he is OK and will be able to post tomorrow.

 

The list of SONGS, UK ALBUMS, and UK ALBUMS RELEASED IN OTHER COUNTRIES is posted below.

With a total of only 13 answers still to be found, this Challenge is almost completed and may be solved by Friday.

 

As with the close of the previous Song Lyrics Challenge, may I ask if you are interested in another, new Challenge when this one is completed?

If you agree to another Challenge, it will be another one based on lyrics - but with a twist to make it a bit more of a challenge.

You may post whether or not you would want to take part at any time from now, and I will not be in the least offended if anyone does not want to participate.

I truly appreciate the support and contributes each and every one of you has given to the Challenges.

Thank you.

 

As one previous evenings, please do not submit your answer for tomorrow - Wed 10 April - until after midnight. Good luck.
