Description:

A collection of covers focusing on songs from the Beatles' only album "Oldies," which has never been released on CD! It has not been released on CD and has been excluded from the catalog. The Beatles were opposed to the release of this unfortunate album, so we have selected artists from a wide range of genres to spotlight this album. The three-disc box set is designed to follow in their footsteps with cover songs from a variety of genres, including standards, soft rock, soul, jazz, and easy listening. In addition to the cover versions, the Beatles' own numbers are faithfully compiled from the Japanese recordings of "Oldies" when it was first released. Commentary: Yutaka Kimura
