They should have put Paperback Writer on Revolver and left off Yellow Submarine.

They very intentionally put out the strongest (in a pop sense) songs as singles instead of album tracks. They didn't have the album-oriented "too cool for singles/shuffle" mentality a lot of music fans have these days.

In hindsight they shouldn't have been so strict having singles separate to albums. But the 45rpm single was a big deal then, they didn't want people to feel ripped off with 4 singles per album and they could still churn them out. Just too many weak covers on the early albums for me, and it would work better as a historical document having them on there.
