On Thur Mar 20, I'll be playing the following set of overtly, purposefuly Beatlesque songs on my radio show at KRUU. (The links below are to the songs in iTunes unless notated otherwise.)
Unlike the previously-posted Beatlesque songs (see Beatlesque #1 & Beatlesque #2), the below songs are intended to sound like actual Beatles songs. (The previously-posted Beatlesque songs sound somewhat like the Beatles, but they have enough difference/s--esp in the vocal/s--that a casual listener can easily tell that those songs are not performed by the Beatles.)
Note: The 2 songs below performed by RubberBand, "I'll Keep You Satisfied" and "Bad To Me", were written by Lennon/McCartney, but these songs were never released by The Beatles. They were recorded & released by another artist in the '60s--namely, Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas, who were also managed by Brian Epstein. The versions recorded by RubberBand were made to sound like The Beatles.

Glen's not kidding -- when he was listening to the playlist last night, I kept saying, wait, that sounds like the beatles but not quite; is that the beatles?
I'm glad both Jack and Glen know this letter! Very cool!
