Not necessarily. It could be just so far out of sync with the rest of the Beatles catalog the producer felt it'd be out of sync on the album.

Keep in mind that a lot of stuff that sounds just like normal indie now would have sounded super-progressive in 1967. Just because it was too avant garde for a rock band in the 60s whose label didn't want to alienate mainstream audiences any further doesn't mean it was just a bunch of inaccessible noises and samples like Revolution 9.

Even if it does suck though, I still think it should be released. Because I think it should be consumers rather than the labels who decide which music is worth listening to.

(Along the same line I'm still debating whether I'm willing to let Guns N Roses dictate to me what store I buy their new record at. It'll probably depend on whether they charge FYE prices or Newbury Comics prices.)
