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.
