I've not seen the movie yet but I LOVE the soundtrack. I was skeptical of this soundtrack because most people don't do very well with remaking songs, especially songs of great artsits such as the beatles.
Perhpas my initial reaction was a bit off on some of these. Other tracks are pretty good, Golden Slumbers, Across the Universe for instance, which do not add to the originals or truly give them a fresh outlook while others fall short to me in the interpretation and performance.So the record is a bit uneven, yet overall is worth it for some of the songs that are well done, and some of the tracks I did not like originally have grown on me on additional listen. It can be difficult to do a cover of a song, especially when the originals are done so well and become so ingrained, such as trying to cover songs by the Beatles. I picked up this CD due to hearing Eddie Vedder's track, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, which turns out to be one of the best tracks, and probably in fact the best, on the CD.He is able to bring a good version of the song to life.
There are some great performance on here.Sarah is great.Ben Harper is amazing.Eddie Vedder is awesome as well. This is an incredible collection of Beatle covers.
I Am Sam - Music From and Inspired By the Motion PictureMy CD was in excellent condition, still wrapped.
I personally think the renditions of the classic Beatles tunes are great. Sean Penn wanted the orig Beatles tunes.they wouldn't give him the rights, so he used other artists' versions.I wrote this comment to address those who commented that Penn should have used orig Beatles music.
