Quite right. While I concede that there were certainly moments on every one of their pre-Rubber Soul releases, their albums were patchy at best. Of course, this was the nature of most albums, as the concept of filling an album with all great songs was alien at the time. The Beatles lived off singles until Rubber Soul, as did many bands of their like.
