That's how I have it in my iTunes :) 
 
Agreed. I could have done without "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill," too.

This seems so inconsequential after that wonderful Ali Farka Toure piece.

I may be guilty of "cult of personality" a bit here . . . but I love the Beatles and all of their songs . . . even this "filler" as someone below put it.

IMHO, the sound improvements are striking, especially through good speakers or good headphones. And I think the mono releases pretty much top the stereo releases before Revolver, the first album that was deliberately mixed for stereo, which Martin still didn't get right until Sgt. Pepper's. I'm pretty much a fanatic—I was 14 when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan—and I've bought both the stereo and mono sets. Both represent improvements in the sound quality, but the mono set is more fun to listen to.
 
Thank you, WonderLizard.  In reading your comments, I respect your humble opinion(s).

Didn't Ringo write this? The others always gave Ringo a few songs.

The last round is noticably better than any previous.  Worth buying for sure if you still like hearing them all the time.

A folksy attempt by The Beatles...just one of the lesser tracks from this lopsided and unusual album. Never really liked this tune much...there are so many better tunes on this album....surprised this one gets the attention. Then again, having said that...I'm refreshed to hear this instead of the classic and tired 'Back in the USSR'...or 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'....

 I sort of agree with you. The White Album was a mix of killers and fillers. Although clever, this tune falls into the latter.

Quite. A Scouser doing Hillbilly is as convincing as Dick van Dyke's Cock-er-nee accent in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

It works best as part of the entire album between Piggies and Dont Pass Me By.  Beatles are not my favorite but love the White Album.

no way!


Awe come on!  I must have heard a hundred Beatles tunes by age 10, but not this one.  This is the only radio station on which I have ever heard this one (yes, I own the White Album).  You can't really be surprised someone hasn't heard it before.  It is not a well-known song, unless you're living in your Beatles bubble. 

By the way, it's quite corny, and I for one don't like it at all.

Thin White Rope.   Their version of "Some Velvet Morning" is still the track I hope to die to (preferably by being shot by Jessica Alba's jealous husband)
