Absolutely ridiculous considering they could have easily dropped one of the lesser tracks. So all you folks talking about "filler" on their earlier albums, have to realize London records was in large part to blame.

They usually excluded the singles back then from the albums, even if they were recorded during the sessions. Take The Beatles for example.
Rubber Soul - excluded Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out
Revolver - excluded Paperback Writer/Rain
Sgt. Pepper - excluded Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane
