I Am Sam is the soundtrack to the 2001 film I Am Sam.[1] It was released on January 8, 2002, by V2 Records (see 2002 in music). The album contents are made up entirely of cover versions of songs by the Beatles, although it was originally intended to consist of the group's original recordings. When producers were unable to obtain the rights to the original tracks, they commissioned the artists featured on the album to record the versions released.
