Error description

The Beatles


I notice that under the Tributes section there is no listing of the 'Motown Sings the Beatles' Album.

I think this was originally released on the "Connoisseur Collection" Label in 1991.

There is also another version with the same Track List released on the "Razor & Tie" Label (Cat No RE-2031) in 1994, this has a different title, it is called 'Come Together - Motown Sings the Beatles'

Obviously most of the tracks were released much earlier by Motown on various studio Albums by the individual artists.

Martin, as you can see all these covers were previously released and are all in our database ( Smile). There's your reason for not including the Tribute albums...


Thanks for posting anyway!
