The Beatles amassed several songs while in India during their failed Guru Expedition. They appear on The White Album including Lennon's controversial foray into experimental music - Revolution No.9. It's certainly an eclectic and diverse collection of songs composed by Paul, John and George in isolation.... and Ringo gets to sing his harmless novelty songs.
I fail to see any padding or fillers on this record. They didn't have to throw in junky fillers like so much of other mediocre here today/gone tomorrow artists have to do past and present ! Creativity poured out of them like water ! Remember this was the late sixties and not today !!!! Artists should be so lucky to get the Beatles' fillers !!!..lol
Tracks 6-17 or the Abbey Road medley were clips from just some of the Beatles' unfinished tracks.They were inundated with a lot of material..which I am almost certain appeared in the early solo works of Paul, John, George and Ringo.

My second favorite piece of music (just behind "Black Saint and the Sinner Lady"), Feldman's "String Quartet No. 2", clocks in at over 6 hours, but it's so god damn perfect I don't even mind. But an album like the Beatles legendary "White Album" is so padded out with filler that it takes away from all the great stuff there
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
