You should be able to find it if you want to.  It was also rereleased
in a different sleeve as _Songs Of Lennon and McCartney Played By..._
after the _ATAWWII_ movie sank without a trace.  Be aware that it's
merely various vocalists fronting the London Whatever Orchestra, not
the different artists putting their own tracks together.  Still, the
results are on average more listenable than the _Sgt. Pepper_ movie,
if not quite as good (IMHO) as the LWO version of _Tommy_ on Ode.
Anyhow, "SFF" is good, I quite enjoy Bryan Ferry's version of
"She's Leaving Home", and Elton John's "Lucy In The Sky (With
Diamonds)" is completely different than his hit single version.
How much all this might be worth is left as an exercise for the
student...
