Quibbles: No Caetano? He's covered "Lady Madonna," "For No One," "Eleanor Rigby," and "Help."
Also: where's Ray Charles' "Eleanor Rigby"? I mean, Aretha's version is amazing, but you have her "Let It Be."
Anyway, fantastic job. LOVE that Assagai track!

Erm.
(The idea, see, is that by filling the CDR with these covers then therefore the Beatles are effectively erased from their own songs' story, ergo they are 'deleted.' As it were.)

I began a similar project a while back as a Spotify playlist. I stalled out after the 2nd LP until I discovered this thread.So uh I stayed up way too late last night finishing it off. Lots of “preferred” versions not available on Spotify; I did what I could. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1AI8AE3c3Lw8HqPeV5j83D?si=z-la_gneQeOcYgt2Ebvnfg&dl_branch=1

If Otis Redding's version of "Day Tripper" is better than Yellow Magic Orchestra's, I definitely have to check it out.― Zachary S (Zach S), Sunday, January 21, 2007 7:39 PM (fourteen years ago)

what other amazing things have i completely forgotten about!?
*thinks*
I mean, I like the Beatles, but christ, to like the Beatles this much... are yall Britishes?
This is a weird comment given that Americans are far more obsessed with the Beatles than the British are.

Colin Newman's "Blue Jay Way" is, to my knowledge, both the only cover he's ever recorded solo or with Wire, and just about the worst thing he's ever done.
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 16:26 (two years ago) link
True. Wire did cover "After Midnight" though!

Maybe it inspired the bump, and it won't be on Spotify, but this posted yesterday is pretty fabtastic.

I considered the Fanny version but found it kinda stuff vocally. Opted for the Gods instead… but that vid rocks & I found a live Fanny version to replace the Gods version, thanks for the heads up!(One note, Spotify has new search functionality that brings you results based on LYRICS which is crazy… but it doesn’t actually let you sort or filter the results, so if you’re looking for covers of say “I Me Mine” well good fuckin luck.)

Thanks to this thread bump, I'm now listening to The Fall's "A Day in the Life", which I had no idea existed
