    Personally I think you could name the second side of Abbey
    Road as containing "fragments of songs they didn't finish
    writing" over the White Album. And "A Day In The Life" from
    Sgt. Pepper's was famously patched together from fragments of
    songs of John's and Paul's.

    If you can patch together fragments of songs and end up with
    something of the quality of "A Day in the Life" then you've
    done well.

    Clearly the Beatles were so good their fragments of songs
    were better than other people's full songs!!!

    Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the White Album and rarely listen to it in
    full, but Abbey Road and Sgt Peppers are start-to-finish listens, every
    time, of course, even if some of the songs are "patched together from bits
    and bobs".
