[Jerry]

No, I don't have that one. I almost bought a CD of the original versions of the songs The Beatles covered. That looked nice, but I wanted other stuff that day.

I'm spoiled. I don't like anybody else singing the Beatles songs. They ruin them!

LenMac, I've heard only a few of the songs you listed. The one that stands out the most is Elton John's cover of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".
The others I've heard are:
Billy J Kramer - "Bad To Me"
Sergio Mendes - "The Fool On The Hill"
Peter & Gordon - "World Without Love"
Rod Stewart - "Get Back"
Status Quo - "Getting Better"

The unbelieveable one you have is Diana Ross doing "Come Together". http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/rolleyes.gif I don't think I ever what to hear that one.

Tim or Jerry, do either of you know where I could find The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away CD? Some of those songs, I've haven't heard in ages.

[PennyLane]

Another great cover CD is one compiled by George Martin, entitled 'In My Life.'

[bearkat77]

I want to get that one too.

Yeah, that's how he started. . . .with comedy.

Sir Martin George.
That 'In My Life' thing was ok, some of it was funny. . . .I suppose. I like Jim Carey, I think he makes a good walrus.

[PennyLane]

I dunno about Carrey, he can be downright annoying.

[lennon-mccartney]

I suppose. I think he's underrated, though. He's a great actor, what he does, really is acting.

I love Jim Carrey!! I didn't like the In My Life thing GM did. It was ok, like Lenn-mac said.

I have yet to hear anything from this CD. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif If Sleepy reads this, maybe I'll be able to get it by Christmas. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/grin.gif

Bear, from what I hear it's strictly a novelty thing. I'd ask Santa for some real music.

[bearkat77]

True, but I've always been interested in how others interpret the Beatles' music. From the snippets I've heard, I'd really like to get it.

Anything but All This And WWII or the Pepper movie.
I think the Supremes had an LP in 65 called A Touch (or a Taste) Of Liverpool.May be worth seeking out.

[Paul_McCartney2002]

Elton John singing LSD, that sounds like it might be good.

Paul is a live, prove me wrong by going to www.anetzweb.com (http://www.anetzweb.com)
