John is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with fame and the biz, he releases a collection of oldies due to obligations resulting from losing a copyright infringement case that arose from his use of two lines from a Chuck Berry tune in his song Come Together. Later in the year he and Yoko reconcile and when John's immigration problems are resolved he decides to take a break from music to spend time with Yoko and their new son Sean, he will not record any music outside of home demos for five years.
Paul releases another Wings album and George releases Extra Texture. Both John and Ringo release Best of compilations and the Beatles release Rockshow towards the end of the year.
During the next five years Paul, George and Ringo continue with solo projects while John takes care of Sean, travels and bakes bread. To satisfy the public's demand for more Beatles product Capitol/EMI release more compilation albums and a live album compiled from a series of concerts from the Hollywood Bowl in 1964/65.
Reality Notes:
Even though we took two songs from George's album they are replaced with the b-sides from that album's two singles. Paul's album is saved in much the same way.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
I took a quick look and added your blog to my list of similar projects on the right. While I would probably debate some of your song choices (personal tastes and all) I was pleased that you kept each album's tracklist within their timeframe (so few do that). I would put your project among the top for that reason alone.
I will now go and take a closer look at your blog.
