Yeah, well, we can't do anything about that, can we?

And anyway, I think it is kinda valid because none of the songs appear on other albums. More than you can say about Yellow Submarine.

Yes, it isn't important, because for one it has now become a part of their catalogue, and anyways, it's better than most of their other albums.

This is solid and it gives me some stuff to check out. I don't think Magical Mystery Tour quite meets the test of being a real album. That's not all that important, but it did occur to me.
