*Gabor Szabo* - "Yesterday" & "If I Fell" - from *Gypsy '66* - Impulse!
*
Gabor Szabo* - "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - from *More Sorcery* -
Impulse!

"Lucy..." is also on the *At Monterey* album in a live version.

Avoid *Szabo*'s ill-conceived pop confections like *The Wind, The Sky and
Diamonds* like the plague, however
*
Tony Wilson 6tet* - "I Am the Walrus" - from *Pearls Before Swine* - Drip
Audio (This has never failed to draw audience response when I've played it
on the air - not a Beatles tune that gets covered very often.)

*Theo Bleckmann & Kirk Nurock* - "Norwegian Wood" - from *Looking Glass
River* - Traumton-Indigo (this is a very unique vocal version - highly
recommended)

*Wave Mechanics Union* - "Eleanor Rigby" - from *Second Season* -

mileage may vary, see dealer for details...)

By the way, *Tony Williams*' version of "Blackbird" that was already
mentioned is drop-dead gorgeous, a very fine recording.
