A masterpiece of musical arrangement by George Martin.The individual artists were chosen to suit the tracks and I thought it all worked incredibly well.A friend played it for me and I was hooked.The price of 1p plus P&P was great and listening to the CD makes me smile every time.
I chose to buy this CD as I had it on tape and wanted it for my car. I already knew how fantastic an album this was. So many famous names performing so many famous songs. My favourite is the obscure I am the Walrus sung by just as obscure Jim Carrey. Jeff Beck's performance of Day in the Life is pure majesty! You have to listen to it to understand what I mean. Not a CD you can put on in the background unless you want to ignore it. Instead, I suggest sitting down with a glass or wine and enjoy the lyrics and mastery of the Beatles reborn through musicians and actors alike!
Another in my cassette tape to CD project - the Beatles are obviously one of essnetial pieces of Britain's music industry. A different take on covers in that various actors take part in this tribute - Goldie Hawn's Hard Day's Night is a favourite of mine.
