Beck's Record Club


Record Club was a musical project initiated by Beck in June 2009.
The purpose of the project was to cover an entire album by another artist in one day, using an informal and fluid collective of musicians. Albums covered were The Velvet Underground's The Velvet Underground & Nico, Leonard Cohen's Songs of Leonard Cohen, Skip Spence's Oar, INXS's Kick, and Yanni's Yanni Live at the Acropolis. Video footage of every performance has been made available on Beck's website.
