canceled or withdrawn singles. Record company meddling, lawsuits, artist tantrums and other assorted controversies have left a trail of "what ifs" throughout rock & roll history. We'll hear the best (or is it worst?) of them. Guaranteed no repeats from the first two installments!

Yes @tadpoles, but the fact that it was used in MMT was a death clue. It was also suggested that Viv Stanshall replaced Paul.
