Cover Of The Weekend: Stereophonics with Oasis "I'm Only Sleeping" (Beatles)


If you haven't already happened upon this track, then, well, there's no time like the present to check it out!

It's Oasis performing an acoustic rendition of "I'm Only Sleeping" with Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones.

I'm not a huge fan of the whole "unplugged" format, but this is quite nice, actually!

While it is no great secret that Oasis wear their love for the Fab Four on their collective sleeve, Stereophonics are no strangers to covering the Beatles, contributing a version of "Don't Let Me Down" to the I Am Sam soundtrack.

In '07, they also recorded "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise" for a BBC Radio documentary celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the release of Sgt. Pepper's.

Enjoy!

OK, I haven't even listened to this yet, but because I've been a slave to both bands through thick and plenty of thin, I just gotta thank you for posting it. Even if it sucks (which I doubt it will), I'm grateful for the chance to decide for myself!
