Various Artists Here, There & Everywhere: Black America Sings John Lennon, Paul Mccartney & George Harrison

Known for their shared love of black American music, the Beatles' versions of songs by the likes of the Miracles, the Marvelettes, Arthur Alexander, Barrett Strong, the Isley Brothers and more provided an entry point into soul for many young Brits in the early 1960s. As their fame spread across the Atlantic Ocean. It was inevitable that their music would start to impact on the musical worlds of soul and jazz in the shape of multiple covers of their hit singles and album tracks. Ace has issued two previous highly acclaimed and strong selling collections featuring 'Black America Singing The Beatles', and "Here, There And Everywhere" is Ace's third compilation of Soul and Jazz reinterpretations of classic Lennon, McCartney and Harrison copyrights - and the first to be issued on double vinyl, as well as CD. This time we have extended the series' remit to also include post-Beatles songs by John, Paul and George among our strong selection of goodies from the Fab Four's golden decade. All of the featured songs are exclusive to this volume, as are most of the featured artists. There's an extended Motown contingent - appropriately enough, given the 'Loveable Moptops' early appreciation and promotion of Motown before the label had enjoyed even one UK hit - and the repertoire here spans almost a quarter of a century of Beatle and post-Beatle covers, from 1964 to 2004. Ace 'Imagine's that anyone who has purchased the previous two volumes will need no persuasion to add a third one to their collection! It's also ideal as a stocking filler for Beatles fans arounds the world
