We Can Work It Out

Over the years, there have been countless collections of Beatles covers.  Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint threw its hat into the ring late last year with a fulsome new 3-CD set.  We Can Work It Out: Covers of The Beatles 1962-1966 concentrates only on the Fab Four's first years, arranging its 85 songs in the order of the original Beatles song releases.  Most, though not all, of the versions are contemporaneous, making this set a particularly enjoyable tour through the rapidly shifting pop music
