This is the best kids music CD we own. All three of my kids (ages 1 through 7) love listening to it. The best part of it is that I enjoy it too. Of course I have all the original Beatles records, but this CD does such a great job of introducing the kids to this music that it's fun for me and my husband too. Like another reviewer said, my kids weren't interested in the real Beatles recordings before. But after listening to this for a while, they are starting to enjoy both - The Bingo version and the originals. What a great idea. What a great album. I wish they would do the same with other groups. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I love this album. My kids love to listen to both the original Beatles and these versions. They especially love to listen to other kids singing! These versions seem to be made with the highest quality in mind and with respect for the orignal versions. After we got this album my children were dancing around and singing along. They request it over and over and the nice part is that it is also great for my wife and I to listen to (more so than other kids albums like The Wiggles). I highly recommend this album.

My 7 year old daughter loves this CD! So do all her friends. She listens all the time and it is our favorite sing along for the car. Of course, as an adult I like the real Beatles the best...but I was pleasantly surprised at how good these kids versions are. I don't understand all the "how dare they do this with the Beatles" stuff that some people blabber about. For me it works...my daughter loves it and now seems more interested in my other Beatles CDs, AND I much prefer hearing this over and over again versus some of the other kids music we have.

I would not recommend purchasing this CD. Although Kudos to the Bingo Kids...they sound EXACTLY like the Beatles. So when I played it for my grandchildren it did nothing for them. They thought they where listening to the real Beatles CD's that their grandfather plays for them. I thought that this CD was going to be a bunch of kids signing songs not quite this professionally done.

This may be the worst album I have ever heard. Kids mangling Beatles songs are not my idea of musical enjoyment. I would never let my children listen to this. Save your money and play your kids the original Beatles songs.

I'll admit right now that I'm single and I don't have any children, so perhaps I am not the best person to review this. But I have to say that I really enjoyed hearing these versions of 15 Beatles songs sung by both adults and a chorus of 6 children. On most of the songs the kids provide choral support, but on a few of the tracks, the kids handle all of the vocals. And they handle them quite well. In addition, the instrumentation and production (handled by longtime Philadelphia musicians Brian and Scott Bricklin---Bricklin, Martin's Dam, Four Way Street) are first rate and give the album a very professional, polished feel. Scott Bricklin and Jim Boggia handle the adult vocals and one of them (I'm not sure which) is quite adept at sounding remarkably like John Lennon.

All of the children sing great and sound as if they are having a fun time in the studio. A special shout-out has to go to Robert Pellechio, Jr. one of the 6 "Bingo Kids" who provides a stellar vocal solo on Octopus's Garden and who provides a little Beatle-related coda after the last track. (I won't tell you what it is, but I will say that true Beatle fans will certainly chuckle when they hear it!)

All in all, a very nice first venture for this new label from Philadelphia, PA.

This cd is a good introduction to the Beatles. While the original recordings of these songs are my preference, that wasn't the case with my two year old. She didn't take to the originals. So these versions provided the necessary gateway to the originals. The songs are recreated very faithfully, but with children singing most of the chorus'. This was what was needed to create the interest for my child. After a few weeks of listening a seamless transition to the "#1's" was accomplished.

Nice music, my son and I listen to this cd almost every day.. If you like

Beatles you will enjoy this version for kids as well.

The songs are supposedly sung by kids, but some of them are sung so similarly to the originals that it's hard to tell. Not that it's BAD that the songs are similar, it's just that, well, it's just not an improvement to the real Beatles, so why not just get a CD of the Beatles. I also bought Beatles 1 at the same time, and my 2 yr old loves listening to it. Get that instead.
