Detail : | The original versions of the songs that the Beatles made famous. Not one note written or sung by the Beatles appears on this platter, and yet every tune is familiar to us all. This is a brilliant essential release collecting together the original versions of those classic Beatle covers. You will have noticed that this is not complete, the more readily available and easily accessible tracks have been left off. Tracks like the Beatles Motown covers, "Please Mr. Postman", You Really Got A Hold On Me", "Twist and Shout" and "Money", the Chuck Berry classics "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Rock 'n' Roll Music", Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally", and the old guard standards like "A Taste of Honey" and "Til There Was You". Proving what a good ear the Beatles had for a tune, not one of these featured tracks was a Top 40 hit in their home country !
Compilation was by Richard Foos and Gary Stewart.
