Ed,
The R.D. set has a number of other cool Beatles covers. I might put up Les Brown's version of "Come Together"....

OK, got a poser for you. I've been looking for the 1958 single "What, Me Worry?" b/w "Potzrebie", credited to Alfred E. Neuman and his Furshlugginer Five for more than a year now, and nobody seems to have it. You've been digging out some incredible gems; any chance you might have this one?

That Floyd Cramer is just great - I'd never heard it before ...and now I'll be whistling it constantly for at least the next 7 days!!!
Lee, FYI:
In 1974, Paul McCartney recorded an instrumental, "Walking in the Park with Eloise", which had been written by his father. The song was released on a 1974 single by "the Country Hams", which featured Paul, Linda, Floyd Cramer and Chet Atkins.
The pleasant, but not fantastic single can be heard on the "Wings at the Speed of Sound" cd.
Thanks for the Beatle finds!
Kevlang,
Sure! And thanks for the information.

Stickman,
I'm afraid I don't have that one....
Marty,
Floyd did terrific stuff with Beatlesongs (to use a term I encountered someplace). He did terrific stuff, period, come to think of it!
