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.

I should have explained a bit better. As with this Challenge, I will set the next one NATURE IN LYRICS o Saturday around midday but will not open until 12 midnight [as usual], so you will have time to look through the Challenge and come up with your answer.
The separate quiz will be set up on Monday morning, and open for the first answers at 11pm Monday.
I`ll give more details on the Quiz on Sunday.

Looking forward to the next Challenge and the Beatles Trivia Quiz. Both should be interesting and fun.

My guess for what it's worth. In my opinion the best Beatles album of all was Rubber Soul. I was 16 years old and could sing every single word of every song. Even Ringo's What Goes On! Now as that was the first album they recorded in the studio without the distractions of touring or radio and tv sessions, maybe that was called Ciggies, Sarnies and Songs? They were in the studio an awful long time with Lennon & McCartney struggling to complete the songs before the Christmas release.

No reason to ignore your post.
You are right about Rubber Soul being the first recorded in the studio without distractions and they did spend a long time getting the sound they wanted right and in time for Xmas release.
The album is considered as the one which broke the mould and paved the way for Revolver and then Sgt Pepper. To be honest, although I bought every Beatles album on day of release, before Pepper my favourite was Revolver.
