VA - The Beatles Songbook [2005] (3 x CDs)

BEATLES SONGBOOK

VA - The Beatles Songbook [2005] (3 x CDs)

Thanks to their catchy melodies, creative use of instruments and undeniable authenticity, the Beatles are one of the greatest bands of all time. 

A three CD cardboard slip-sleeve compilation of Beatles' songs covers in every syles, from Joe Cocker to Frank Pourcel or original versions of some famous Lennon/McCartney's "Not-Beatles' songs". Even if it's a part of the "classic Beatles' discography, the original full versions of tracks are easily available by the Beatles themselves. Technically speaking, track 3-3 is the original version too (released 9 months before the Beatles' version). (Amazon)

    1. Hi Rikker Mortis,
      Asking is always a good way of finding out.
      I do have all of her albums. An amazing and complex talent that got painted with societies brush. I didn't post anything by her yet. R.I.P. Sinead. Is there something you would like?
      Cheers

    2. Ah! My ever lasting gratitude for this! There's actually another album out there that i've actually never seen/heard. Her 2014 swan song called "I'm Not Bossy...I'm The Boss".
