A new Paul McCartney tribute album is due out in November.  It features a truly eclectic roster of artists contributing takes on McCartney or Lennon & McCartney songs. Now we’ve got a sample: Alice Cooper sings “Eleanor Rigby.” Why? Why not? 

A complete track list is posted online, and there are at least five different versions of the project including a box set with vinyl and CDs. There are gatefolds, illustrated books, and all kinds of extras including a USB in the shape of a Hofner guitar.  And while the whole shebang doesn’t arrive until November 18th, you can pre-order now and get a number of single songs instantly for doing so.
