The Beatles Vs. Don Ho



Melvin, 1979

One of the most fun Beatlegs in history, from the parody cover to the eclectic contents. Nearly everything appears elsewhere in better quality, but the opening and closing tracks can't be topped!

  1. Thanks for this version.
    I have a reissue entitled "Silver Lining" with identical content, only different cover. This was one of my favorite bootlegs mostly because it included the Residents' single "Beyon The Valley"...

  2. I picked up a copy of "Silver Lining" in 1985. Anybody know what year it came out?

  4. "Silver Lining" was an unauthorized issue via the record pressing plant, which was making a little loot on the side using the LP stamper paid for by Melvin Records!
