In fact while we are on the subject of cover versions and Frank Sidebottom, he contributed to a cracking covers album in the late Eighties,
to co-incide with a 20th Anniversary of a relatively good LP by a popular regional act of the time, called . . .
Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father, released on the NME lable.
Tracklisting:
Three Wize Men - Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band
Wet Wet Wet - With A Little Help From My Friends
The Christians - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
The Wedding Present With Amelia Fletcher - Getting Better
Hue & Cry - Fixing A Hole
Billy Bragg With Cara Tivey - She's Leaving Home
Frank Sidebottom - Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite
Sonic Youth - Within You Without You
Courtney Pine - When I'm Sixty-Four
Michelle Shocked - Lovely Rita
The Triffids - Good Morning Good Morning
Three Wize Men - Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
The Fall - A Day In The Life
Despite what might be seen as a few surprise choices in that line up and that it was a charity album ( I think ), Billy Braggs' She's Leaving Home, The Wedding Presents Getting Better and Michelle Shockeds' Lovely Rita ( stop sniggering at the back there, you lot ) are highlights in pretty good bunch.
