The BEATLES, specially Lennon & McCartney, are the most covered authors in the whole world. I think it's difficult to find some other artist that never had cut some song from them. Here, in Ratolândia, you may access to a great collection of those covers. One of these days it'll be time for another volume. But for now, let's go to 1964 or 1965, when everybody was positively crazy with the four boys from Liverpool. Besides their own compositions the Beatles have recorded many covers until those years. And they gave those older versions and originals a greater projection, because everything John, Paul, George and Ring touched it immediately turned to gold.
So, let's find, with this little collection, those music pioneers that inspired The Beatles. First you'll be able to hear the original version (or more) and then the treatment given by The Beatles. Enjoy this first set and find some great versions from people like Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander, The Shirelles, Larry Williams, Buddy Holly, Peggy Lee, The Miracles, Carl Perkins, The Marvelettes, Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps... and...of course...The Beatles!
A second volume will be presented here soon.

I don't know where you come up with your ideas Rato, but keep 'em coming...
Chiça, que belíssima compilação! Muitíssimo obrigado, sr. Rato.
Wonderful idea mister Rato! It's amazing to hear these versions one after one and discover,one more time, why the BEATLES were (are) the greatest! But the old/original versions are also magnificent! Can't wait for the second volume.
Thank You Rato! Great Idea indeed.
I'm leaving for 3 weeks holidays. Take all your music with me.
Rato:
I read these commentaries and I agree but... just a little "but": "Words Of Love" is a wonderful Buddy Holly's song, and not on the contrary. So, this is an Holly's cover, and not a Beatles' cover!
By the way, you have a great blog.

every beatlemania think once

Hi Roy
Of course "Words of Love" is a Buddy Holly's song and not a Beatles' one. I think you misunderstood the meaning of this collection: none of the tracks are composed by The Beatles, but all of them covers that they have made from other people's prior versions. I think I have it well explained on the post...
