They left out one of my favorites. 'Paperback Writer' is so overdubbed that everybody is singing at least two parts each on the breaks. When the second verse starts at 1:00 two of them (I would guess George and John) start singing 'Frère Jacques'. At 1:20 a third voice (Paul?) joins them for the second round. The middle voice misses a breath and comes in late. It's something I've always loved, showing that even the greatest make mistakes. Of course it doesn't happen these days because with digital recording it's so easy to go back and fix one track, one note at a time if necessary.
