A much more darkly amusing quartet of tunes would have included "How Do You Sleep?" and "Too Many People," John and Paul's respective musical "fuck you" directed toward each other right after the band's breakup. Also, George's "Sue Me, Sue You Blues," his desperately frustrated reaction to the legal wranglings that roiled within the Beatles camp post breakup, and poor Ringo's "Early 1970," the loveable drummer's message of "I miss you guys, let's get back together," would have nicely rounded out four solo Beatles tunes that revealed the Fab Four's individual takes on a difficult time in their personal and musical lives.

An Alternative 4 from The Beatles

Hi nice readingg your post
Your suggested alternative lineup would have been far more revealing. Pairing “How Do You Sleep?” with “Too Many People” captures the raw immediacy of John and Paul processing the split in real time. Adding George’s “Sue Me, Sue You Blues” grounds the whole thing in the frustrating reality of lawyers and contracts, while “Early 1970” gives Ringo his quietly heartbreaking voice as the emotional center. That combination would have turned a promotional sampler into a miniature narrative about loss, anger, and longing.
It is a good reminder that curation matters just as much as content. Whether it is compiling music, designing a learning path, or managing test coverage, the choices you make shape the story people take away. That same idea comes up often in software teams when organizing test cases and releases, which is why structured tools like Tuskr test management software can be so valuable. They help teams be intentional rather than defaulting to the easiest option.
