Review of "Beatles Unlimited" Fan Magazine, Netherlands, 6/1997


A German Band claiming that they try to play, act and sound like the Beatles. This CD shows the band's capability to the full: you'll not only get just early sixties stuff, there's a wonderful copy of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Don't Let Me Down, and also Free As A Bird. The studio versions take turns with live versions, one of which is a cover version of the Live At The Hollywood Bowl version of Roll Over Beethoven, as the final bonus track.

The ReBeatles indeed play almost carbon copies of the songs, thanks to magnificient vocals (especially those by "George Harrison") and harmonies.

Another feature which adds to this result, is the use of authentic instruments (the Hofner bass, Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars, the Ludwig drums and Vox amplifiers). Every scream, sound effect, hand clapping or whatever you'll remeber from the originals: nothing seems to be forgotten!

An album worth looking for from a band worth checking out when they're on tour! The copy act of the band is also extended to the CD booklet and promotional material, which have Rutles-like album gimmicks: Let It Re!
