RARE Beatles! RARE covers!

Post by brammy »

George's You Know What To Do is one of his first attempts to write a Beatles song (the fabulous 'Cry for a Shadow' not withstanding)

Seems to me that he had 'A Picture of You' in the back of his mind when he wrote it... similar chords and feel:

Here's a VERY nice "tribute to George" kind of version of 'You Know What To Do' done by "Sgt Pepper's Band"...
a VERY good group from (correct me if I'm wrong) Brazil.

and speaking of Beatlesque covers, heres a worthwhile version of Take Good Care of My Baby by DEBITELS

....sure makes you realize that the Beatles brought such an edge of excitement to each song they did. Just ask yourself... what is the difference between the DeBitels version of the song and the Beatles version?:

Both are technically ok, but the Beatles are simply BETTER... more relaxed... they bring more to the song.

the amazing thing here is that the final version is almost identical to Paul's improvised vocal "french horn".

George and Paul seem much older than 1966

Looks like early to mid 80's.
