Here are the ones I know of (there may well be others):
Let It Be - Ferry Aid (No.1)
The Long and Winding Road - Will Young and Gareth Gates (No.1)
Michelle - The Overlanders (No.1)
Do You Want To Know A Secret - Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas (No.2)
Bad To Me - Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas (No.1)
A World Without Love - Peter and Gordon (No.1)
Got To Get You Into My Life - Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers (No.6)
Yesterday - Wet Wet Wet (No.4)
Help! - Bananarama with LaNaNeeNeeNooNoo (a.k.a. French and Saunders) (No.3)
Dear Prudence - Siouxie and the Banshees (No.3)
Just thought of another one (well, another two, actually): The double A sided disc released in aid of the 'Childline' charity. A side: "With a Little Help From My Friends" (Wet Wet Wet); AA side: "She's Leaving Home" (Billy Bragg) (No.1) . Which also brings to mind Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" (No.1).
