One of my on going arguments/dialogues with Deano is the subject of covers.
In my humble opinion and cover should improve a song showing it in a new light. You can see these most clearly when a cover fails to do even basic respect to the original.
This video is a worthwhile reminder as to why The Beatles are probably the most innovative and influential bands of the last century. This is a complex peice with 2 time signatures, very moody harmonies and quite a high pitch and timbre on the vocals.
I mention it here because it has been successfully cover a number of times. New tones and colours have been found and enhanced.
So I hope you'll enjoy this very early recording of 'We can work it out'.
(its been something of an anthem for me this week).
