Summary: Nice Collection of Beatles Covers
Comment: As a 50-year-old die hard Beatle fan, I'm a tough sell on Beatle covers. There are songs that I simply don't connect with at all. But there are some real good songs here-nice arrangements: Come Together-Joe Cocker, With A Little Help From My Friends, Flying, Hold Me Tight, I am the Walrus-Bono, Across the Universe, Revolution, Helter Skelter, Hey Jude and Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds-Bono alone is worth the price of the CD. It's a double set so it earns a 3 star. If you're a Beatles fan, it's a nice addition to your collection.

Summary: spectacular
Comment: This film is incredible on many levels. I am a recent Beatles "afficianado" (I am ashamed to admit. This movie makes me wish I had started a LOT sooner). Wonderful film that I could watch over and over...

Summary: A worthy tribute to the Beatles
Comment: Okay. This is coming from one of this generation's biggest Beatles fans - I have long said that a cover can't do justice to a Beatles song (and there have been plenty of attempts), however I make a big exception for this album. You might not enjoy it as much without having watched the movie, but just take it all in. Go in with an open mind, and some of these renditions will give you goose bumps like the firs time you heard it by the Beatles. Seriously, it's beautiful. Don't be a hater.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not the Soundtrack
Comment: If you have seen the movie and love the soundtrack,don't buy this CD--it leaves out too much. Buy the deluxe edition. The music is great but you keep anticipating the next song in the movie and you are constantly disappointed. This shouldn't be called a soundtrack or at least it should have "ABRIDGED" stamped on it.
