Flawless compilation of songs the Beatles covered.  Like many a Mojo CD, no matter how good it was, the shrink wrap never came off.  Since I sold it as sealed, I had to make a Spotify playlist of the album to hear it in order.  Sure enough, one track was missing, the grand finale of "Till There Was You" by Anita Bryant.  That one you can hear on the link above.  Also the Cookies song got mislabeled, so you can hear the Chains on a link and even here the wrong song in the playlist! Otherwise enjoy the playlist.  Youtube has a more complete 44 track playlist on the same topic.

There song are so drilled in my psyche I can't really tell how much I know the original.  Some like Chuck Berry, The Marvelettes, Ray Charles Buddy Holly and Carl Perkins are baseline.  Others, we you know them even if you don't know twhere they came from.  Still, it's perfection to listen to these track start to finish.

Even without Anita.
