131.0. "Cover up" by RDGENG::KEDMUNDS ($ no !fm2r, no comment) Wed Jun 29 1988 14:18

    	It's bad enough with <whoever_it_is> doing "I saw her standing
    there", but as for Wet Wet Wet's "A little help from my friends"...
    
    	In some other topic (actually the Gary Glitter one!), someone
    said that some people consider WWW's version to be better than The
    Beatles... You cannot be serious!

131.1	Not even close to the FAB 4 !!	CHEFS::LAWSONM	Finite cann't comprehend Infinite	`Wed Jun 29 1988 14:38`	10
	He had to be jesting, perhaps the person forgot the "8-)" Mark_who_was_brought_up_in_Liverpool_got_there_autographs_and_then_lost_ them_wally_that_he_is_._They_would_be_valuable_now_as_they_where_all_ on_one_page_sigh_!! m
131.2	Lots of Pillow cases !!!!	RDGCSS::STONE	Distant, Alone, Beneath the platinum stars ...	`Wed Jun 29 1988 18:30`	11
	What worries me is - There are an awful lot of young kids out there who think 'WWW" actually wrote it ! Thereby selling even more 'WWW' albums, singles, T-shirts, pillow-cases etc for a band who will never write a single lyric worthy of mention on the same page as anything the Beatles ever did. Phew! that was a long sentence wasn't it? Graham
131.3	But even better ...	WELSWS::MEACOCK	Alan Meacock @WLO	`Wed Jun 29 1988 18:36`	4
	re .0 - maybe not WWW but Joe Cocker's is better than Ringo Starr's effort.
131.4	...ooooops	EAYV01::ADAIR	Answering Questions Computers Can,t	`Thu Jun 30 1988 12:23`	14
	Keith.. I was actually the person who said that it sounded better. I should maybe have added that that was not my opinion but that of several people I have talked to. We people who remember the Fab 4 first time around will never hear anyone as good as them and everyone else will just be a copy no matter how good (or bad) Tony_yeah_yeah_yeah.
131.5	It's for a good cause...	AYOV10::MDONNELLY	The Alligator man is snap happy	`Fri Jul 01 1988 14:01`	12
	I understand that all proceeds from the WWW version are going to the Childline charity - as is the album that it's taken from - "Sgt Pepper Knew My Father". This is a 'remake' of that famous old album where numerous current pop favs cover the original tracks. Therefore I for one won't knock it. Michael
131.6		FORTY2::WATKINS	Get Down Shep!!!	`Fri Jul 01 1988 14:39`	10
	RE: .5 old album where numerous current pop favs cover the original tracks. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This album is a NME complication by various mostly indie bands and not really current pop favs. The names I can recall are The Wedding Present, Frank SideBottom, Wet Wet Wet, Billy Bragg, The Three Wise Men and The Christians. I'll include the track/artist listings again. Marc.
