4.0 out of 5 stars Beware: it's short.
If you're looking for a lot of music for your dollar, don't go here because it's not very long. I got an evil look from the snooty indie record store guy when I asked if they had this album; for a Beatle purist it's most likely blasphemy.

However, for someone who likes the Afghan Whigs, Soul Asylum or Foo Fighters, this is like watching Greg Dulli, Dave Pyrner, Dave...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good CD, Not a Lot of Bang for the Buck

It speeds up and rocks old American R&B tunes that the Beatles were covering themselves back in Hamburg.

It may not have the depth the original Beatles eventually acquired, but it rocks like the Beatles never did.

However, if you pay list price, it's a ripoff. It's not necessarily for a Beatles enthusist, but is a great listen for anyone who likes alt-rock and classic rock.
