This review is from: Persuasions Sing the Beatles (Audio CD)

This group was once one of the mose exciting forces on the American music scene. However, this CD is awful. There is no song on it that was not vastly better done by The Beatles. Instead of the group singing that once marked the Persuasions it is merely a lead singer singing everything at the same pace (one song is nearly indistinguishable from any other) with the other members of the group doing a little doo wop on the side. Boring! Buy the material by the original artists and enjoy some really good music. The Persuasions are now merely riding the coat tails of their earlier reputation.

Chesky Records is well known for their fantastic "Audiophile" CD's, and the acoustics on this album are absolutely unbelievable. Innovative and smooth......I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Persuasions Sing the Beatles (Audio CD)

I've actually never heard the Persuasions before, but as a huge Beatles fan, I decided to give this album a try. I have to say that for Beatles fans this is a fantastic way to hear their music. I love "With a Little Help..." and "Ob La Di" especially, but they're all great! If you want to hear the music of the Beatles as you've never heard it before, this is the album to get. It's not just another "cover" album.
