LIVERPOOL, United Kingdom -- In a recent study done by fact-checkers in order to stop the spread of misinformation, the two surviving members of the popular British rock band, The Beatles; Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have changed the names of select songs and album titles due to inflation.
Before the band broke up in 1969, they were careful to be truthful, and by doing so, always triple checked titles for their projects. However, since the 70s, inflation has caused some of these titles to become false. The 2015 compliation album, 1, will now receive a new 2022 reissue which will now be titled 1.17. On the album, it will include songs such as "9.36 Days a Week", "One After 1,063.53" and "Revolution 10.67".
Later in the year, a reissue of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band will also be made available which will include the updated song "When I'm 68.42".
"I just think it's important to tell the truth, y'know?" McCartney said in an interview. Yoko Ono has revealed that she will be updating some of John Lennon's song titles also. Starting on his 1973 album Mind Games, the song "One Day (At A Time)" will now be known as "One Point Four Two (of the) Day (At A Time)". On the album Walls And Bridges (1974), the song "#9 Dream" will also be changed to reflect inflation.
Paul and Ringo will start to go through their solo material in the coming days and make the relevant changes. The estate of George Harrison will also change the titles of "Dear One", "Mystical One" and "P2 Vatican Blues". The music industry, following the story very closely, has issued its statement that artists should stop including numbers, both the numeral itself or spelt out, in order to not having to re-do songs in later years as inflation is not suspected to stop anytime soon.
