Beatle Bits # 225
Hey! I'm baaaaack.
Recharged the batteries, and I've got good news.
Canadian independent Bullseye Records has just released the most amazing Beatles tribute CD, at least that I have heard anyway.
"It Was 40 Years Ago Today," contains 50-count 'em!- mostly superb Beatle covers, even including Sie Liebt Dich (!) as well as all or most of your faves, like, Paperback Writer, I Feel Fine, You Can't Do That, Hey Jude, Helter Skelter, She Said, She Said, and many, many more.
Even Al Kooper gets into the mix with a groovy brand new 5 minute plus take of Eleanor Rigby, and the production values of this release are generally uniformally excellent.
And there are some really neat and tricky arrangements, like the Cats and Dogs version of Norwegian Wood, which includes the bass riff from She's So Heavy.
Lots of different styles and genres used, and all to good aural measure.
Plus there are great liner notes by British music writer, Craig Cross, as well as chart listings and record release info of all songs featured.
All in all, this is a super collection, and the musicians have obviously used tender loving care in their interpretations of the Fabs' tunes, and all for just under 20 bucks.
I strongly urge you to check it out at http://www.bullseyecanada.com/TributeBeatles.htm.
