We Can Work It Out - The Beatles CBG Tribute Album!

SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED 

Yeah Yeah Yeah....!

Your chance to record your favourite Fab Four song to be included in an MP3 download Album!

The Beatles are arguably the greatest and most influential Rock/Pop music band in Rock history, and they made a good few Blues songs too! 

Any of their songs from 1962 to 1969 could be very suitable for CBG arrangement, the choice is mind boggling, there are so many favourites!

For now just decide which song you want to record, many members have already covered Beatle tracks and many more have shown great interest in doing more,  just post which Beatle song you would like to cover and 'stake your claim' in the discussion thread below, I will update the playlist

 here continually over the next six weeks as the final closing date for submissions will be       WEDNESDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER

SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED 

A download thread and a link will be published in September, successfully I hope! 

Good luck, and remember all the Hits and the lesser known Beatle songs (not post 69 solos) will be good to include, and I would suggest you sing or play your chosen song in any genre and your own personal style....GO! (-:

I am planning some special "cover art" for the album ...if all goes well you never know, i could send a CD to Paul, i'm sure he'd like it! (-:

Announcement - second helpings!

As some members have requested a second song (there are so many great ones in the Beatles catalogue!) bidding for a second song will open from  23rd July, and the list will be updated accordingly (-:  

The list is up and running below the main one.

Please don't post your songs on this thread....it will be a nice surprise to hear them all when the album is finished! (-:

"The Cigar Box Beatles Collective"

My Rhythm track for the song, claim and record a verse and post it up!

Revised and tidied up version - if anybody can add a lead guitar it will be much appreciated! (-:

RIGHT CLICK ON THE "REVOLUTION" MP3 LINK BELOW AND "SAVE TARGET AS"....

REVOLUTION.MP3

Here's an example !

REVOLUTION%20example%20vocal.MP3

Remember the count-in cue is longer than on the original Beatle version just to give it a bit of space, 4 riffs then in...as on the above example.

REMEMBER just your voice, nothing else, though double-tracking is ok!
