As I am an omnivore in all things Beatles, I collect *all* of the stuff mentioned above. Hell, I even buy Beach Boys albums because Macca munches on it!
Today's addition is this disc I've been looking for for quite a while now:

Another example can be "Those Were The Days" of Mary Hopkin produced by McCartney.

Can't remeber if someone mentioned it, "Goodbye" again of MH, credited to Lennon/McCartney and written by McCartney.

Good luck finding Tip Of My Tongue by Tommy Quickly - it's a bit difficult to find and always seems to go for silly money. :)

I never had one of those first time around, nor a "strangers" single. I certainly won't be paying big bucks for them either. I live in hope!

I agree with the 57th, collect it all!! Even if there is a sniff of a Beatle being in the next room when the song was recorded!

Collect records that were supposedly the Beatles at the time (Have You Heard The Word?)

Or here's another one: The original singles of the cover versions the Beatles recorded on their albums or just recorded anyway (Live at the BBC or the Let It Be sessions) how tenuous is that?

The list is almost endeless

Ah! Billstiggins (Love that moniker) a true collector!

How about UK charting covers or maybe go further and collect any covers released as singles!

Did you get it? How could Macca co-write a song for an Aust singer? Whats the story? And why hasn't Macca got a credit?

Yes I got that, this single has been on my wants list for a long time. The story goes that Macca helped Johnny Devlin write this song during the 1964 Aussie tour (in the dressing room, most likely) and didn't want to be credited. Much like the middle eight John wrote (also uncredited) for Johnny Gentle's song "I've Just Fallen For Someone" (released under an alias 'Darren Young', for which I have the UK demo, UK commercial version & Adam Faith's cover on his album in mono & stereo - am I mad?).
