Which of these singles, which have never made an appearance on the Beatles' Studio LPs, would you be most proud to have in your collection?
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

(which is followed by Paperback Writer/Rain, Magical Mystery Tour, I Want to Hold Your Hand/This Boy, and John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe, in that order)

Andrew, I'm right there with you on that call.  An amazing pair of songs that captures places. 

Second choice for me is Get Back/Don't Let Me Down as I love the harder edge there.

Baby You're a Rich Man: It was my Uncle's single. He died before I knew him. But, me and my sister played it over and over again (the B side) and it reminds me of then.

No contest really, the greatest song ever written and Penny Lane on the other side.

Great list of songs, not entirely sure that Get Back and Let It Be really count as non-album.

Paperback Writer / Rain.
 
"Paperback Writer" is energetic, cool and has one of their best riffs period (and possibly my favorite). "Rain" still brings the rock, but in a slower and more drugged out way with a bit of mysticism, though no vaudville or orchestral embellishments. Perfect one-two punch.

Same for me. In fact, We Can Work it Out is one of my all time Beatles favorites.

Once I found out that Magical Mystery Tour was, in England anyway, originally a double EP, with only the 6 songs that were in the TV Special included, I was appalled that Capitol Records took those songs and put them together with then singles-only songs like All You Need Is Love, and made an 11-song LP album out of it. Money, money.
But that was 47 years ago. As it turned out, England, the country of origin here, is the only country that put this out as an EP. It seems every other civilized country in the world, from China to India to Japan to Austrailia to-- well, you get the picture --put this out the way America's Capitol Records did, with all the 6 show songs on the LP's "side one," and on "side two," the A-side to I Am the Walrus, Hello Goodbye, plus Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, All You Need is Love and Baby, You're a Rich Man.

That is true, MMT is a double EP and the album called MMT is basically a compilation. The Beatles never went into the studio to make an album called MMT but unfortunately it has become a Beatles album.

Hey Jude and Revolution are two amazing tracks, so different from each other and so original.
That single gets my vote.
