The LOST Beatles Album | Cancelled By Apple - Should It Be Re-released?

'A Collection of Beatles Oldies' was a popular and highly successful Beatles album worldwide for 20 years before being dumped by EMI/Apple in 1987. Whilst derided in the UK as a cynical cash grab back in 1966, it became a lifeline for fans in countries where it was impossible to find any Beatles records at all. Behind the Iron Curtain being one such location.
