Scrambled Eggs
That's A Nice Hat

1966:
Colliding Circles

1967:
Beatle Talk

Jubilee
Revolution 3 - 8
Revolution, 10 through 22 (?)

A lot of titles you posted are fake.

The Beatles never recorded such songs like Colliding Circles.

I just want to hear The Beatles Live set at the NME 66 Poll Winners Concert, somebody in that massive crowd must have taped it that day!

I Shoud Like To Live Up A Tree is probably just a bootlegger guessing the title of Octopus's Garden.

Paul runs through a piano version of Woman in the 1969 Get Back sessions.

Auntie Gin's Theme is a working title for I've Just Seen A Face.

Scrambled Eggs is a working title for Yesterday. (I've seen in interview with Paul where he sings 'scrambled eggs' to illustrate.)

That's A Nice Hat is a working title for It's Only Love.

Four Nights In Moscow and When Everybody Comes To Town/When I Came To Town are all working titles for Ringo's Early 1970.

Little Eddie = There You Are, Eddie - can ge beard in Get Back, as posted above.

The rest are dubious or non-circulating.

I was always under the impression it was an alternative title for Circles, which they demoed in 1968.

Oh and Jubilee was recorded in 1968, but by 1970 had been renamed as Junk

Bad Penny Blues is the Humphrey Lyttleton track that was a big inspiration for Lady Madonna, so it's possible that the recording was played at Abbey Road during the Madonna sessions.

No, it wasn't. Actually it was a coincidence.

"Colliding Circles" and "Pink Litmus Paper Shirt" were listed as Revolver outtakes in an article by Martin Lewis in Disc magazine in 1971. “Colliding Circles” was said to have a John Lennon lead vocal, with “Pink Litmus Paper Shirt” sung by George Harrison.

In the late ’90s, Lewis finally came clean and confessed it was all a hoax. By then, however, the titles had circulated for so long that they’d become part of Beatles mythology, and ironically he had a hard time convincing some fans that he’d made the whole thing up.
