As an incurable Beatle-maniac, I looked forward to hearing some of the cuts on this cd. BIG disappointment!! All of the songs are remakes of the original versions, and bad ones at that! None of the original Peter & Gordon or Billy J Kramer versions here. To make matters worse, the remakes are not even faithful to the originals, in some cases not even sticking to the original melody as written, but going off on interpretive "tangents"!! Example: I hardly recognized "Bad To Me" as done here. Save your money, it's not even worth the curiosity value.

A huge Beatles fan who stumbled across this at the CD gift shop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I actually think this is (was) a great idea for a CD......but this particular production is horrible. They should have tried to keep the songs in the contemporary period they were written. Instead, they take songs which were simple tracks written in the earlier years and try to combine elements from Beatles albums spanning their entire career. The result can best be described as an atrocious mix of taking songs that you may have found on "Please Please Me", and remixing them to fit the style of "Revolver" or "Sgt Peppers". Oh, and it doesn't help that the band they used sucked too. I can think of about a dozen Beatles tribute bands out there that maybe could have done this properly....these guys are BAD. Don't waste your money.

It would be nice to hear Beatles versions of all these songs, but this is as close as we'll ever get. Actually, the demo for That Means A Lot is availible on Anthology Two, but none of the other songs were ever recorded by the Beatles themselves. The newer arrangements are interesting, although a couple are downright painful to listen to (especially Tip Of My Tongue). All in all, I recommend this to any Beatles fan.
