Beatles "Till There Was You" inspired by Peggy Lee--Your fave Beatles cover tunes?

Bad Boy

Same here. My fave Lennon vocal on a cover, although Money and Twist and Shout are forever great defining moments. I was always amazed that Bad Boy didn't get a wider release. Like I Call Your Name, it just seemed to get lost in the shuffle.

 

One more vote for You Really Got a Hold on Me... I even enjoy the impromtu version done during the Get Back sessions.

As for Till There Was You, my mother used to sing it around the house all the time when I was little, way before I discovered Meet The Beatles. So I knew all the words.

 

John,
I don't believe I ever heard this version of "This Boy" that you speak of...especially on a single. Is that a boot CD single or a 45rpm single?? Send me a PM please!!

 

It is the legitimate Apple CD single 7243 8 82587 2 2

1. Free As A Bird
2. I Saw Her Standing There - take 9 stereo
3. This Boy - incomplete takes 12 & 13
4. Christmas Time (Is Here Again), extended a little

Did you get the Real Love CD single?

1. Real Love
2. Baby's In Black - Hollywood Bowl 1965
3. Yellow Submarine - different mix with Ringo's spoken introduction
4. Here There And Everywhere - new mix

Both are well worth having.

 

Yes this just DIDN'T sound like what he was describing, I actually own about 4 copies of each of those! I still don't get the This Boy reference as I refer to this as the THAS BOY version!!

 

Only 4 copies of each?

Did you manage to get Free As A Bird as an EMI Swindon pressing? It annoyed me that I could only locate those from EMI Uden. At least Real Love is the real thing.

 

Re: Bad Boy

I agree, Dave. Actually, I would say that both "Money" & "Twist And Shout" are stronger songs, I just love what John did vocally w/ "Bad Boy".

 

TWIST AND SHOUT...John just shines on that one! OH YEA!

 

"Words Of Love"
"Too Much Monkey Business"
"Some Other Guy"
"Bad Boy"
"Dizzy,Miss Lizzy" (NOT the one on the Help! cd!)
"I Just Don't Understand"

 

Which one then?

 

What a great thread this is!


One fave of mine that hasn't been mentioned yet is Peter & Gordon's cover of "True Love Ways".

 

Yes I have them both. I didn't notice until you just mentioned it though!
