Some great (and, um, interesting) tracks on this compilation of Beatles tunes. It's a who's who of 70's music; some are totally on their game, and others... not quite sure.

The ones I enjoy most seem to be tunes that remain faithful to the original, yet bring the artists own style to elevate it. Rod Stewart bashing out Get Back = awesome. Elton John's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a classic in its own right.

A few are great and innovative -- Hey Jude as a Gospel / Blues anthem (Brothers Johnson), and Keith Moon's take on When I'm Sixty Four was unexpectedly sweet.

So far (I'm on side three now), the music's familiar, many of the tunes comfortable and enjoyable -- and for a record fair acquisition, worth the $5 price of admission.
