I have been messing around with some of my CDs recently - I have been trying to collect musician and composer credits specifically - and today I noticed on the CD itself, for my copy of "Tripping The Live Fantastic Highlights", that the composer credit says "Lennon/McCartney" for Track 3 "We Got Married".
I only spent a few minutes searching on line, but I don't see anything about this mistake - I was wondering if anybody knows if there was a reissue with a correction? I did not check my full "Tripping" double CD yet to see if the mistake exists there also (I left it at work...)
Thanks as always!

My Tripping The Live Fantastic-highlights also has "We Got Married" credited to Lennon/McCartney. I bought mine release day as I always did. My Tripping The Live Fantastic double-disc set does not make that mistake and properly credits "We Got Married" to just McCartney. I don't know if highlights had been corrected and I don't know if it is even in print!

There may be some truth in this. Legend has it that the original lyrics to the first verse were: Eating Fast, Shining Spoon We Had Lunch In The month of June. Found A Flat, After That We Got Married.
However Paul received a message in his sleep "beyond the grave" from John. It was warning him about June and Spoon rhymes so he changed it.

Everyone will disagree but I thought Maxwell's Silver Hammer had some good rhymes... "PC 31 says we caught a dirty one" ... "Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery..." Strangely the following doesn't bother me ... "acted like dustbin lid..." What I don't like is the girl/pearl rhyming scheme which I think he has used twice.... He uses "answer to it all" or variations of it.... I reckon his lyrics on the whole are worse now than they were in the 70s. I think he got by okay in that decade...

I will add this though.... for a guy whose strength isn't lyrics he hasn't done too bad considering that he's written (or rather released) over 300 songs.

The question is . Do any of his songs rhyme "June" with "Spoon" though?

The first time I heard "Mrs. Vanderbilt" (on one of my siblings' copies of "Band On the Run") I thought, hoo boy, he's rhyming "spent" and "rent" again...

Being a collector, sometimes mistakes, etc. can help you identify whether you have an early copy or a late copy - useful info (for me, anyway)...I'm such a nerd about this stuff...
I did some research and wrote several emails to which I have not yet gotten any responses yet. Since the "Highlights" CD was not a huge release, until I hear back, or actually see a corrected CD, I have to assume they are all like this.
Nevertheless, now I'm going to be looking at this CD, whenever I see it, at record shows and the like, looking for one without the mistake. That would confirm for me that it was re-issued.
What if somebody way in the future stumbles across the mistake and there's a big to-do about a "long lost" Lennon/McCartney composition? I'd just like to see an acknowledgement of the mistake in all the references.

Let us know what you learn, fabdba. You are right, highlights was kind of an odd release as everyone I knew wanted the full, double-disc set. Paul didn't release a "highlights" of WOA. It must drive Paul wild to see that mistake, adding John to the credit of a solo song! Someone got fired over that and blackballed from the industry!

As a constant defender of Paul, the lyrics I have the greatest difficulty defending are: 1. The "leaping armadillo" line in "Big Barn Bed" 2. "Three Legs"-just incredibly annoying 3. The "my salamander" line in "Getting Closer" 4. "Bip Bop"-the low point of Paul McCartney's songwriting

4. "Bip Bop"-the low point of Paul McCartney's songwriting But it's just a fun little nonsense ditty, not expected to be thought of as a high work of literature. Maybe not even "songwriting".

What if the Beatles as a joke made that a 1972 reunion single? Would it have charted? I say yes- because songs like that were charting at the time-add Ringo's drums, "Beatle" chants, and you have a novelty reunion single ala "Gimme That Thing" and of course "Back Off Boogaloo"

True! Actually, the thought of just what is monkberry moon delight makes me sick to the stomach even if the song is sung with amazing gusto by Paul.

Poor Chuck, a rock god's last hit being a cheap, gimmicky novelty song. I kind of worried about this factor with "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" but I think they were both good, if not spectacular, songs and truth be told, those songs were quickly forgotten by the public at large and swept under the rug. The so-called new fans from 2000's 1 album had all but forgotten those songs. Can FAAB and RL be played on The Beatles Rock Band video game?

That was actually Chuck Berry's ONLY No. 1 song ever in the USA. Free As a Bird was a commercial jingle for Anthology, and Real Love was a John Lennon composition finished by Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Jeff Lynne. In the long run I'd rather have them than not. I still think the Threetles should have taken the poignant alternative organ version of Imagine and made it a Beatle single. The Wilbury's were going to do that with an alternative version of a released Elvis song and use the voice of "Aaron" Wilbury. They even got the ok from the Elvis estate. That is where George got the idea for the Beatle "reunion".

I like both songs, FWIW, especially "Real Love".
