So many of The Beatles' best songs were never singles. On behalf of Intelligent Life (the Economist's cultured-up sister) Laura Barton valiantly attempts an impossible task:
Choosing favourite Beatles tracks is a bit like deciding which members of your family to rescue from a sinking ship; every one seems to gaze imploringly at you. I’ve plumped for songs that are not too well-worn, that can still surprise, that are inventive, impulsive and downright irresistible...
It's an excellent selection, evocatively annotated. Myself, I would have had She Came In Through the Bathroom Window in there. You?
Well I guess you're not Beatles fans then. Honesty, I don't know why I bother.
