Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle's 1987 Peel Session consisted of four Beatles covers, including 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' in German and possibly the only good version of Ringo's 'Don't Pass Me By'.

ahh man, revolver jazz! the things one forgets! a coworker way back had a copy that he dangled in front of me a time or two. completely forgot it existed not long after leaving that job.
i also remember buying the johnny harris album after much hype and anticipation (when it was first reissued in the early 2000s) and thinking it was, uhm, not that noteworthy. "what was the last allegedly classic album you got and were underwhelmed by?"

see, i'm just hearing the johnny harris record for the first time and i'm feeling like it's super quality, god kind of an andrew oldham orchestra feel to it. what's not to like?

Junior Parker's version of Tomorrow Never Knows has been mentioned above, but his version of Taxman is also spine-tingling.

There's an amazing David Axelrod-helmed cover of 'Good Day Sunshine' on this album but I can't find it streaming anywhere. I'll upload it when I get home. It's pretty trippy, and plenty rad.― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Tuesday, October 9, 2018 3:08 PM

ray brown — "good day sunshine" (1969)

one of the best arrangements axelrod ever did.

this set of covers by various soul and reggae versions hits the spot.
that said, i always select the 4hero mixtape version.

i've never heard the whole album.
i ripped that from this compilation. it's been one of my holy grails for a while. cheap copies on discogs, but i have not a turntable anymore.

It's been mentioned a couple times upthread but I'll third or fourth the recommendations for Ramsey Lewis's Mother Nature's Son, which has some really exceptional arrangements.

doh : i have that Axe comp.would love to hear the rest of that album of course.
― mark e, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 20:57 (one year ago) link
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).

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.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatle_Country
