Both Nina Simon and Richie Havens have done excellent and very different versions of Here Comes The Sun.
I liked Pat Benetar's cover of Helter Skelter.
Phil Collins did an excellent cover of Tomorrow Never Knows.
Fats Domino did a nice version of Lady Madonna.
I've heard bits and pieces of Hendrix's cover of the Sgt. Pepper album. Great stuff.
Sean Lennon, Rufus Wainwright and Robert Schwartzman did a nice tribute for Across The Universe.
Then of course, there is the ultimate cover that ends all covers and envelopes them in a groovy bit of awesomeness that blinds our minds brighter than the hardest LSD trip can ever do: William Shatner, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
OK. That last one might not have been so awesome.

Same answer. Michael Jackson with "Come Together" and Motley Crue with "Helter Skelter".

Paul McCartney's essay on the Queen:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8277008.stm
'Beatle's essay found 50 years on
Paul McCartney in 1953
McCartney was 10 when he wrote the essay
An essay written by Sir Paul McCartney as a 10-year-old has been found after lying undiscovered in Liverpool's Central Library for more than 50 years.
Years before the Beatles received their MBEs, he beat hundreds of other school children to win a prize for his 1953 essay marking the Queen's coronation.
In neat handwriting, he refers to "the lovely young Queen Elizabeth".
In 2013, the library will display the essay - found in a scrapbook - to mark the 60th anniversary of the coronation.
Thought to be one of the earliest surviving written works by Sir Paul, the essay gave him an early taste of appearing in public.
Liverpool's Lord Mayor presented him with the prize - despite the work having been marked down for grammatical errors.
McCartney's neat writing has the same curly ends on capital letters which he used later on the "B" of "Beatles" on the group's drum skin.
The schoolboy compares the happy scenes expected outside Buckingham Palace with the coronation of William the Conqueror nine centuries earlier, when a massacre of Saxons took place.
He declares that Britain's "present day royalty rules with affection rather than force".

McCartney's earliest creative contribution found in Liverpool Central Library
The essay also mentions a coronation cup with Elizabeth II on the front and Elizabeth I on the back, and he concludes it by saying: "After all this bother, many people will agree with me that it was well worth it."
Some 16 years later, with the Beatles nearing their break-up, McCartney was still writing about the monarch.
His song Her Majesty, featuring the lyrics "Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, some day I'm going to make her mine", was recorded for the Abbey Road LP.
The Queen knighted him in 1997.'

My wife loved that movie, and she is a huge fan of The Beatles.

Beatles songs not released on albums ...
There is also an extended version of "It's All Too Much" on the internet. About 8 and a half minutes. It shows George Harrison being filmed by Klaus Voorman all around England. George appears in a shot with Klaus Voorman's girlfriend. Later she became Klaus' wife.

Considering he got Clapton's wife, I'm surprised Harrison didn't end up with her.

You have it backwards. Patti Boyd was first married to George in 1966. They met on the Hard Days Night set in 1964. Apparently later, George had a year long affair with Maureen Cox (Ringo's wife) from mid 1968 to mid 1969. Because of that, Patti wanted to get back at George for his infidelity. Though all the best that she could do was become friendly with Eric. Nothing happened romantically between them just flirting, etc. However, Eric was falling in love with her in 1970. Layla became a song that he and Duane Allman collaborated on. But in spite of that, she rebuffed him and he went into full blown heroin addiction as a result. Then in 1974, when George was here in the United States promoting his Dark Horse album with concerts; Eric, off heroin finally, tried again to pursue her and things became serious between them. Patti left George in July 1974 and she moved in with Eric. When George finally divorced Patti in 1977, then Eric and Patti were married. In March 1979.
