Marketing, I get it. But I don't recall any Beatles hits never appearing on their albums. I can't think of any other groups from the 1960s who left their greatest hits off albums.
But wasn't Whatever a bonus single to their debut album Definately Maybe?Quote

There are millions of examples, Oasis's Whatever in 1994 as well.

Really? We Can Work it Out/Day Tripper, Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane, Paperback Writer, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Ballad of John and Yoko...

Live and learn. Thanks for the info.
But it's a shame they didn't put those songs on albums. Beggars Banquet would be a masterpiece if you swapped "Jumpin' Jack Flash" for "Jigsaw Puzzle." Likewise Let It Bleed might be the greatest Stones album ever if you swapped "Honky Tonk Woman" for "Country Honk."

I cannot imagine either of those albums w/o "Jigsaw Puzzle" or "Country Honk," but maybe that's just me.

Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane, originally intended for Sgt. Pepper but left off because the record company wanted a new single release earlier that year, were both included on Magical Mystery Tour, which was the same in both the U.S. and UK.

3."Paperback Writer" – 2:14
4."Rain" – 2:58
5."Lady Madonna" – 2:14
6."Revolution" – 3:21
Side two

8."Old Brown Shoe" (George Harrison) – 3:16

Magical Mystery Tour was not the same in the U.S. and the U.K.: It originally wasn't an album in the U.K. It was a 2x7" EP that consisted of the songs that make up side 1 of the U.S. LP (Magical Mystery Tour, Fool on the Hill, Flying, Blue Jay Way, Your Mother Should Know, and I Am the Walrus). Side two of the U.S. LP tacked on five recent songs that had appeared on singles (Hello Goodbye, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields Forever, Baby You're a Rich Man, and All You Need Is Love).

No. The vinyl version of Definitely Maybe had a bonus track, "Sad Song" that wasn't available elsewhere. "Whatever" was a stand alone single.

Yep, the album didn't get an official UK release until 1976.

One big reason was for many of the English invasion groups their singles came out before the major album. The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, et. al. all felt that it was a rip off for their fans to buy a single, then buy an album that had that single on it, there by two songs are bought twice. The thinking was that the album should be all new material heard as a stand alone. Now there were instances where some single did end up on albums, however, most singles did not.
