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.

RESULTS for answers submitted Sun 31 March 2019:

 

UK ALBUM: Abracadabra = Revolver - @Cleoriff  correct

UK ALBUM: Six down, one to go = Sgt Pepper - @jonsie correct [John`s ref to recent EMI contract]

SONG:  Hey Bullfrog = Hey Bulldog - @Bambino correct [Paul misread John`s writing and sand Bulldog and barked to make John laugh, John liked it more and changed it]

UK ALBUMS ABROAD: 4 Garcons.... = A Hard Day`s Night - @MI5 correct

UK ALBUMS ABROAD: Die Zenstrale... = Please, Please Me - @pgn correct

 

Sorry, @Glory1 Come On, Come On was not an alternative title to Please, Please Me.

Please Please Me was always known by that title, which John recalled came from the words in the song "Please" by Bing Crosby, which his mother Julia used to sing to him.

 

The list of which songs in each category which need to be found follows.

Please do not post your next answers - for Mon 1 April [yes, I know] - until after midnight tonight.

Thanks

Thanks for spotting that @Glory1 - yes Come On, Come On still needs to be found, and, of course you can have another go at it at midnight.

Still can't get that after getting what I thought was the obvious answer but was wrong. I'm going for one that my memory tells me is right.
