[1978] Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Bee Gees and other artists sang Beatles covers for this

Finally returning to the CD racks after twenty long years, you
may find this one filed under "Peter Frampton" (at least I did at
HMV).

Thanks to Imran for the following info...
"This has got to be one of the best albums I've never heard
of!! Until last year, I had no idea what the Bunbury Tails were
about nor had I ever heard of any of the tracks and then someone
got me the CD and I still can't get over how good it is! For
anyone who doesn't know, "The Bunbury Tails" CD was released by
Polydor in 1992 and it was based on a cute cartoon series in
England which comprised of mainly bunnies playing cricket! Much
of the humour would be better understood if you have an
understanding of the game of cricket and its many legends over
the years e.g. Viv Richards. Features the Bee Gees, Elton John,
Level 42, Shakatak and many others!"
Featured Bee Gees Tracks:
* We're The Bunburys
* Bunbury Afternoon
Fight the Good Fight (Eric Clapton) and some other tunes were
written/cowritten by the Brothers Gibb, and feature occasional
Gibb backup vocals. The Eric Clapton track was also issued on
the 1988 Summer Olympics Album, this time credited to "The
Bunburys" under the title "Fight (No Matter How Long)".
