Most songs on almost any posthumous release or expanded edition reissue make it apparent why the artist never released them on an album while they were alive or that the right version or take made it onto albums. Still, hearing unreleased material or alternate takes by artists you like lots can be fun. Beatles fans get that chance again when what came to be known as The White Album is released November 9 (about two weeks shy of the original release day) as a 50th Anniversary expanded edition.
