This is one of the quintessential recordings of 101 Strings doing what they do best: cheese. For those with a masochistic penchant for kitsch and late '60s era elevator music, 101 Strings were the alpha and omega of the Muzak scene. This record is pure mood inducing nostalgia. Kick back your lazy boy and pretend that you are in a dentist's chair with blue, green and yellow oversized floral print wallpaper all around. To some this is Hell, but to a few of us, this is pure Heaven. I think you might have had to have lived through it and hated it thirty years ago to really appreciate it now. Drive down the street with this blasting out of your car and you'll get ALL the chicks.

Expected symphony sound, and got this. Parts sound like high school band. Try to be "tricky" with intros that lead into each song that start you off with bad taste in your "ear"

I bought this album hoping to hear orchestral Beatle music. What I got was elevator music, and not very good elevator music besides. The Beatles' songs have attracted any number of alternate arrangements in the past, but this one takes the cake for lack of quality.
