COVERED BY THE BEATLES II

And here's the second and last volume with the songs that the Beatles have covered in the first half of their career. The two sets include twenty-seven songs (13 plus 14), all of them picked up from the people they loved and which influences they always recognized. After 1965 the Beatles career entered a new era, during which the studio search for new sounds took all their attention, leaving little time for them to consider involving themselves in other artists material. Much later, first John Lennon and then Paul McCartney, would each one dig into their bottomless memory chest record solo efforts crammed with covers, but then that's another story.

COVERED BY THE BEATLES I

The BEATLES, specially Lennon & McCartney, are the most covered authors in the whole world. I think it's difficult to find some other artist that never had cut some song from them. But the Beatles, besides their own compositions, have also recorded many covers from other artists. And they gave those older versions and originals a greater projection, because everything John, Paul, George and Ring touched it immediately turned to gold. So, let's find, with this collection, those music pioneers that inspired the Beatles. First you'll be able to hear the original version (or another ones) and then the treatment given by the Beatles. Enjoy this first set (the second is already on the way) and find some great versions from people like Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander, The Shirelles, Larry Williams, Buddy Holly, Peggy Lee, The Miracles, Carl Perkins, The Marvelettes, Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps... and...of course...The Beatles.
