Anthology has a better balance of songs

What version of ‘the long and winding road’ did Paul McCartney hate?

I read in an interview that paul hated one of the mixes of ‘the long and winding road’ but the beatles released it anyway w/o his permission.
Is it the one on Past Master, or the one on the let it be album.
Or is it on anthology?

Both, He hated that Phil Spector put strings in it, the one on Let it Be Naked is the one Paul envisioned. For me the Version that Paul did on Give my Regards to Broadstreet" is the absolute worst. I don’t mind the Phil Spector version all that much.

How can you publish a short story into an anthology?

So I wrote a short story and I really want to publish it into an anthology. I searched it on google, but nothing helpful came up. Please help!!!

What James said. Duotrope’s Digest (http://duotrope.com/) is the best. John Joseph Adams is a name to watch, as well – he’s got six excellent anthologies out, and he takes unpublished authors along with stars like Neil Gaiman and Orson Scott Card.

But keep in mind, most invitation-only anthologies require that you have been published before. For most anthologies, you have to go through the same submission channels as everyone else (which you can find on Duotrope). A lot of anthologies are mostly reprints of stories by more notorious writers, and they need to find other stories to use as padding.

And don’t dismiss the literary magazines as an option! There are a thousand of them, and they often print four or more times a year – which means that they need more stories more often. There are print and e-zines out there, and many pay the same rate as anthologists.

I hope this was helpful, and I hope you get published!
