I remember when this album came out on LP... it was sold at lower-than-usual retail, probably because it was a bunch of covers. But what covers! John Lennon does a great tribute putting his own sound on these tracks. If you like Lennon, or the Beatles, or classic Rock and Roll... then this album is for you. If you DON'T like those things, then check your pulse.
I bought this CD on eBay at a REALLY nice price... & I've played it MANY times already. Glad to have it back in my collection --- now in CD form--- since my LP is long gone.
My favorite track is John's take on the Fats Domino classic "Ain't That A Shame."
John Lennon...and the Other Beatles...went through a Musical Transformation...that Changed the Face of Pop Music Forever. John....in this Session of Songs...told His Fans that He hadn't forgotten His Roots. I loved 'Bee-Bop-a-Loo-Lah'.
