<P> Former Gong guitarist Steve Hillage recorded "It's All Too Much" for his 1976 solo album, L--a version that Unterberger highlights as "a dazzling cover" and Williamson terms "stunning". Produced by Todd Rundgren, the recording was also issued as a single . </P> <P> In October 1976, Phil Sutcliffe of Sounds magazine described Hillage's adoption of both "It's All Too Much" and Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" as the "policy statements" for his solo career . Speaking to Trouser Press that same month, Hillage said he was drawn to the Beatles song because of its positive message, but especially its success in conveying joy without resorting to escapism . </P> <P> Hillage included "It's All Too Much" in his concert performances; live versions from the late 1970s appear on his albums Live Herald (1979), BBC Radio 1 Live (1992) and Rainbow 1977 (2014). Reviewing BBC Radio 1 Live for AllMusic, Chris Nickson writes that Hillage's reading "not only heightens the Eastern - flavored psychedelia, but lets (the guitarist) unleash some of his most scorching axe work yet, tearing into the song like a starving man given a five - course meal". </P> <P> Journey also issued a recording of the song in 1976, on their album Look into the Future . Besides the late 1970s renditions, according to Miles, the Beatles' "It's All Too Much" "won fresh acclaim from a later wave of acid - rock adventurers" during the early 1990s . The House of Love released a cover of the song as the B - side to "Feel", the first single from their 1992 album Babe Rainbow . The previous year, Loves Young Nightmare recorded it (as "All Too Much") for Revolution No. 9: A Tribute to The Beatles in Aid of Cambodia, a multi-artist compilation supplied with Revolver magazine; the album was reissued in the United States in 1997, following the popularity there of Britpop bands such as Oasis . The Church included the track on their 1999 covers album A Box of Birds . </P>
