steve@baselines.com Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi all, this is a cover of the song All I've Gotta Do by the Beatles. Doug Cross does the main vocal. https://baselines.com/?p=5764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 This was the second album in the UK my brother had the first I had this one. It had a dodgy track on side two a problem occurred during pressing. Not a bad cover for a band that is not easy to cover, perhaps a tad to much reverb on the vocal.

JMFO You are absolutely right my friend! I had to fight with the singer when he gave me his vocal track. It was actually the second track he sent. The first one was drowning! I took the second one and put it through RX to strip off some more of the vocals which degraded it a little further. I gave up and used the one I got. After asking once, if I don't get a dry track, I realize I am fighting a losing battle and move on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 You're always playing with fire when covering the Beatles, but I think you did a good job with this tune. This has always been one of my favorite early Beatle songs, and I suspect if John Lennon would have had this reverb available to him, he would have gladly used it. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I was happy I could duplicate was McCartney's double stops (Root and 5th) in the bass during the verses. I don't think you'll find that in any of the pop songs of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
