I can agree, but...
"If You Got Trouble" certainly takes the prize in my view. A song so blah that they knew to shove it into the outtake bin right away (only to be unleashed a long time after the fact on Anthology 2). Yeah, some may like it (can't blame them, it still has a decent Beatles Beat), but it's one of John and Paul's weakest written when they were really gaining maturity. At least "Mr. Moonlight" was a cover goofy throwback to their early live shows and has a nice vocal by John, who at least nails it on the chorus, and was possibly used to fill Beatles for Sale as something familiar so that it can be released for the X-Mas '64 rush.
I even liked "...Trouble" at first, but my feelings are shared when Ringo says "Rock on - ANYONE!"
