There are also a few songs that the Beatles wrote but did not record themselves, one of these being Step inside love, a UK top ten hit for Cilla Black, but here covered by the Paper dolls, whose big hit was Something here in my heart keeps a-telling me no.

The big hit here is Ob-la-di ob-la-da, with which Marmalade had a UK number one. The Kestrels, who I described in my review of All you need is covers, open this set with Please please me.

Petula Clark, the most famous artist featured here, is represented here with Partir il nous faut, her French version of Nobody I know (a hit for Peter and Gordon), and also puts in other appearances with her covers of We can work it out and Maybe I'm amazed. Of the other names featured here, the ones with greatest recognition are Chris Farlowe (Yesterday), Todd Rundgren (Rain), PP Arnold (Eleanor Rigby), Anita Harris (Here there and everywhere), The Tremeloes (Good day sunshine), Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch (With a little help from my friends), Max Bygraves (When I'm 64), Acker Bilk (Fool on the hill), Kenny Ball (Lady Madonna), The Moments (Rocky Racoon) and Chairmen of the board (Come together).

Like its predecessor, these are not always the best covers of these songs, but most of them are very enjoyable, so this is an intriguing set for fans of Beatles covers.
