One Album Makes it ALL??!

No, no ,no. Revolver has been my favourite several times. To focus on only one Beatle record is simply tunnel vision. Are you gonna omiy Rubber Soul or Abbey Road as well? Every track was legal on those tracks.
They are all good records because the boys worked very hard at their craft and were serious about their catalogue.
Tis a pity that Dick James Publishing somehow managed to nick 90% of their publishing royalties from 1964 through 1974. I suspect Mr. Epstein was blackmailed. Why has no one investigated the unusual profit scenario of their publishing royalties from 1964 to 1974??! In fact it could be nothing BUT blackmail. Dick Music has never been called to task. Also, the contract allowed Dick James to sell out. If it had not been for Dick James, Sir Paul would still own his work and Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison would not be deciding that we can never again watch "Let It Be" (the movie) again. Dear lord, I am glad that when the movie was in the theatres i sat through it 5 times in one day and for almost every day there after i saw the movie at least one time. For the entire run at my local theatre.
BTW: LSD-25 was LEGAL until 1966. Most people simply sent away to the chemical firm who owned the drug for a pure and relatively safe supply.
