The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits is a fun album where Alvin and the Chipmunks sing famous songs by the Beatles. It came out in 1964. This album has the Chipmunks' unique versions of early Beatles hits.
It was first released on a vinyl record by Liberty Records. One song, "All My Loving," was also released as a single. A special six-song record for jukeboxes was made too. On some later versions of the album, the very first guitar sound in the song "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" is a bit cut off.
The Chipmunks usually don't have problems during their recordings. But on the song "Twist and Shout," something funny happens. During the music part, Dave Seville tells Alvin that his wig is falling off. You can hear Alvin trying to fix it with muffled sounds.
