I thought it might be fun to list those UK groups that covered The Beatles.

Er...... I was going to say 'Booker T And The MGs' but you did say 'UK'. I suppose if 'UK' stood for 'Urban Kool', then I'd be close.

Retracted..............

Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Sgt. Pepper" and "Day Tripper". Obviously, Jimi is a Yank but his bandmates were Brits and they gained fame in the British music scene. These covers were only played live and/or on radio and television broadcasts.

Freddie and the Dreamers count - they are Manchester's finest sons! (or not)

Who did Ob-la-di? Was it Marmalade?
