Here's my take on the other Anthologies real quick.
A2
Best - Real Love - At the time, I preferred this over Free As a Bird for a more clear Lennon vocal. I think Free As a Bird has held up slightly better, but I still really like Real Love.
Worst - 12 Bar Original
A3
Best - While My Guitar Gently Weeps - While I prefer the version that appeared on The White Album, this mellow version gives it a run for its money.
Worst - What's the New Mary Jane - I've never thought much of this one. I remember reading rumors of some sort of involvement from Syd Barrett, but I think that's just because this song has some of the same weirdness that appeared on some of Syd'd later Floyd tracks.

So after the Anthologies, we got Yellow Submarine Songtrack. I waited a couple years to get that one. I didn't see it as essential, but it was interesting to hear the new mixes. And then of course we got 1. I see that cd in the thrift stores now - it was one of those that everybody had to get. At some point, though, I stopped buying the same old material for the 2nd 3rd 4th time. When the deluxe editions come out now, I just get them from our library. Hmm, what was the last Beatles release I bought? Oh, I bought the mono Pepper when it came out on vinyl in 2014. That was probably the last one. How about the second BBC collection?

I don't know why I always forget that one. I need to put that one on in the car this week.
