Musicians do the Singles - Part 2

Via the YouTube channel Yesterday's Papers, a motherlode of musicians guest reviewing the Singles for Melody Maker and New Musical Express and Sounds - all from the 1960s or the early 1970s

Slightly reduced in impact by the host of the channel reading them out himself in his mild tones. I reckon he should have tried to imitate these rock stars - ribald Scouser for the Fab Four, irascible East Ender for Ginger Baker, etc etc. Perhaps he could get AI to do it now? 

There's a huge number below and even more at Yesterday's Papers, along with many other goodies. 

Also included below are some examples of musicians 

a/ reviewing big deal albums (Ray Davies on Revolver, with George Harrison doing a riposte the next week) 

b/ musicians reviewing their own records. 

First up all four Beatles get a crack, or multiple cracks 







Even more….
