What album are you referring to ? ? theres lots of cover albums by anything from punk to reggae to rock artists doing the beatles...

i was talking bout remastered and / or remixed albums of original material (bit like a directors cut in a movie...exactly how they wished they had done it in the first place ie apocalypse now redux (either not done og cos of studio/label influence...lack of funds...input blah blah)

theres 4 of them that ive seen so far...may be more

You could pick up anyone of them first. I don't have a favourite but it all depends on what songs you like better, the fun fast pop songs or the longer more artistic ones. Abbey Road is great for artistic merit, and so is Sgt. Peppers. Rubber Soul is great for a fun listen. So is Hard Days Night, and the ones before it.

The first few albums were just cobbled together singles.

Yeah I know, but the Ballad of John and Yoko was one of their later songs, after they'd established themselves as megastars. In the beginning an album came out almost a year early in Britain but by the time the White Album rolled along it was very similar release dates, if not on the same day.

Beatles Again/ Hey Jude is not an "official" Beatles album (i.e. its not in the Beatles Anthology), but this may vary by market

As far as I know Hey Jude was recorded during the Sgt Peppers sessions, but was never on an album- just released on a mix tap ;D
