VARIOUS ARTISTS "All Together Now: Beatles Stuff for Kids of All Ages"

You might think, with the simplicity of many Beatles songs, why not just listen to the real thing? But this collection - featuring Marshall Crenshaw, the Bangles and a kid chorus, among others - presents another choice for those who want to introduce their younger kids to the band. The songs are mostly simpler tunes, like "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and ones with choruses that lend well to a group of singing kids, like "Yellow Submarine." The adults are used only when they serve the song better than kids would, and it's all true to the spirit of the originals.
