I forgot the title though.
Didn't Purple do a Beatles song on one of their first three?

I know they did Donovan's "Lalena" on their third, but Im pretty sure they did "We Can Work It Out" on their 2nd.

Deep Purple did 'Help' and 'We Can Work It Out' in that dragged out, retooled manner of Vanilla Fudge. The Fudge themselves did 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Ticket To Ride' on their debut.
And Steve Howe, when he was in Tomorrow, did a rather pedestrian, note-for-note cover of 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. The same goes for Fudge-esque act that preceded Uriah Heep (featuring Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake) called The Gods, who did a pointless near note perfect cover of 'Hey Bulldog'.
Does Phil Collins' cover of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' count (again it adds little to the original, imho)?
Lone Star did a pretty good cover of 'She Said She Said' on their debut too.

Damn, I was just going to mention Lone Star.
Peter Gabriel has done a pretty good version of Strawberry Fields Forever.

Has anyone mentioned Barclay James Harvets and their influences? Especially the song Titles. Not necessarily "covers", but hugely influenced band and songs.

Phil Collins' cover of TNK is a bit of a stinker, IMHO
I don't know The Gods' version, but an all-girl group called Fanny did a fantastic cover of "Hey Bulldog" - can't remember which album off hand, but I think it was their rather cool debut. David Bowie was a big fan of Fanny... they were great (even if non-prog).

Vanilla Fudge made lots of Beatles' covers (for example: Eleonor Rigdy and many others)

Yeah, I didn't like Phil's cover of TND- and I really, really like Face Value other than that and the pointless, R & B rehash of Genesis' Behind The Lines. Never heard Fanny's cover of Hey Bulldog.

Rather sillily (which really should be a legit word).

Ache did a long version of "We can work it out" on the album Green Man from 1971.
