this is the only other song i've found. supercheese. i've heard it's a really bad album besides the beatles cover. axelrod did work on some other very schmaltzy records around the same time (some of which inevitably have another beatles cover or two).

fair enough.
makes me glad to have ripped my skinny promo cd-r of the anthology comp before it got too wrecked.
i got it years before i realised who/why/where etc ...

Bluegrass covers of I've Just Seen a Face there are many. Ones which also incorporate hiccuping reels into the middle and end there is but one. Good harmonic invention vocally too.

Look I just like this stuff okay.

The Dillards did "I've Just Seen a Face" back in 1968, I assume that was the first one.

I believe it originated with the Charles River Valley Boys in 1966, who used their version as the springboard for a whole album.

I wouldn't say it's one of the best ever but at least it's different. Zeus B. Held, "The Fool on the Hill"
