VA - With a Little Help from My Friends, Covers of The Beatles 1967-1970 [2025] (3 x CDs)

The idea behind With A Little Help From My Friends Covers of The Beatles 1967-1970 feels familiar at first, but it settles into something more specific once it begins to play. Rather than tracing the originals, the set follows how those songs moved outward during the late 1960s, picked up by other artists and reshaped in real time.

It helps to start anywhere. A version of a well-known song arrives, recognisable in structure, but the tone shifts almost immediately. Soul arrangements sit next to lighter pop readings, while some tracks lean into a looser, more interpretive approach. Across the discs, the balance moves between fidelity and reinvention without drawing a clear line between the two.

Names pass through without taking over the set. Joe Cocker brings a heavier, more grounded reading, while Aretha Franklin reshapes the material through phrasing and rhythm. Elsewhere, Stevie Wonder adds a different sense of movement, showing how adaptable these songs were even within a short time frame.

What becomes noticeable over a longer listen is how quickly the material spread. Styles overlap, approaches differ, but the core writing holds. Some versions stay close to the originals, others move further away, yet the sequencing allows them to sit together without hierarchy.

Heard across the full set, the compilation feels less like a tribute and more like a parallel catalogue. The songs are familiar, but the perspectives keep shifting, offering different ways of hearing the same material without settling on a single version. (B)

BEATLE COVERS

VA - We Can Work It Out - Covers of the Beatles 1962-1966 [2023] (3 x CDs)

If your heart skips a beat when you hear a Beatles tune and if you think you’ve heard every Beatles cover under the sun, We Can Work It Out, Covers of the Beatles will have you grinning like it’s 1964 all over again. This three-disc set from Cherry Red’s Strawberry label is bursting with charm, surprise, and plenty of love for the Fab Four, just the way we like it.

What makes this so fun? It’s packed with off-the-wall versions, global twists, and some gloriously unexpected performers. Picture Mae West vamping her way through “Day Tripper,” or the Charles River Valley Boys giving “I’ve Just Seen a Face” a bluegrass makeover that would make Paul smile. There’s even a dreamy rendition of “Norwegian Wood” by Paraffin Jack Flash Limited that turns sitars into smoky twilight.

You’ll hear Beatles classics sung in French, Italian, and even over a gypsy jazz groove. Claude François does a Gallic take on “I Want to Hold Your Hand” (“Laisse-Moi Tenir Ta Main”), while The Supremes and Count Basie bring soul and swing to “You Can’t Do That” and “Hold Me Tight,” respectively. And yes, Joe Cocker shows up too, covering “I’ll Cry Instead” with that unmistakable rasp.

It’s playful, unpredictable, and totally heartfelt, just like the early Beatles spirit. More than a tribute, this set is like a magical mystery tour through the '60s, where every track is a colorful stop along the way.

If you want to hear how their music echoed around the world (and across genres), this box is pure inspiration. Fancy crafting a companion compilation that celebrates global Beatlemania or hidden cover gems? (B)

VA - Wecanworkitout, Covers & Cookies of Lennon, McCartney & The Beatles [2005] (2 x CDs)

Beatles covers are a dicey proposition at best. Even the most ingenious and unique rendition seems destined to suffer in comparison to the original, and the potential for failure is virtually limitless, either way, it's an idea as sound as remaking Citizen Kane with Pauly Shore in the title role. And yet artists are drawn to the Lennon/McCartney songbook like bees to honey, their desire to cover these songs best likened to a creative death wish -- We Can Work It Out assembles 16 of these kamikaze missions, and believe it or not, despite the inevitable wreckage there's also a handful of survivors. Setting loose these familiar songs in jazz and funk modes far removed from the Beatles' original recordings enables greater room for personalization and innovation, and the artists featured here are hardly slouches, either, Ike & Tina Turner (who know a thing or two about making covers their own, ask John Fogerty) deliver a gritty, low-down version of "Come Together," Stevie Wonder invests "We Can Work It Out" with the boundless optimism and sensitivity of his own music, and Earth, Wind & Fire update McCartney's Motown tribute "Got to Get You Into My Life" in accordance with the updated rules of the soul handbook. A bonus-mix CD courtesy of 4hero's Marc Mac rounds out a set far better than it has any right to be.(AMG review by Jason Ankeny)

VA - Wake Me Up, First the Original Next The Cover 50's - 90's (A Butterboy Compilation) (10 x CDs)

In popular music, a cover version, cover song, revival, remake or simply cover, is a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song.

Before the onset of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, songs were published and several records of a song might be brought out by singers of the day, each giving it their individual treatment. Cover versions could also be released as an effort to revive the song's popularity among younger generations of listeners after the popularity of the original version has long since declined over the years.

On occasion, a cover can become more popular than the original, such as Elvis Presley's version of Carl Perkins' original "Blue Suede Shoes", Santana's 1970 version of Peter Green's and Fleetwood Mac's 1968 "Black Magic Woman", Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". The Hendrix recording, released six months after Dylan's original, became a Top 10 single in the UK in 1968 (US number 20) and was ranked 48th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Another famous example is the Beatles' cover of "Twist and Shout", originally by the Top Notes, and their cover of the song, "Til There Was You", by Meredith Willson, among many others.  (Wikipedia)

Here I present compilations of  Cover Songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's.  As an introduction to the covers I have included the ORIGINAL versions of the songs which can be found on the first disc of each set. The COVERS can be found on the 2nd disc of each set.
